Fabric Thoughts...

I know all of us have a stash... Some more than others of us! (love looking at cupboards full with stupendous fabric on peoples blogs!) I'm currently working on a sewing plan trying to use up my stash before I buy new. (Granted I fell of the wagon with some very cheap Vintage patterns. But i'll defend myself for that later.)

I pitifully whined to my boyfriend the other day when he questioned my buying new fabric when I already had plenty. I muttered that he didn't understand that you have to have adequate fabric for the pattern in hand. He smiled at my pathetic attempt to defend myself when I knew he was right...

I do have 14 pieces of totally useable fabric, but when your mind wanders (as well as your fingers on a laptop keyboard.) Your shown all the things you COULD own and it is very difficult to abstain. I have recently started a fabric inspiration gallery on my computer and it is rapidly running out of control just like my garment inspiration. Theres just too much!

Fabric can be inexpensive but I never like those bits... Oooo Ponteroma knit...

I'm a sucker for cute prints especially (unless you hadn't guessed hehe) I just have to look and dream. Especially super expensive quilting cottons. I always see kooky little shirt dresses with big wide belts. But £13 a metre!?! I suppose I need to just take a deep breath at this point. If you were buying a shirtdress in this kind of print your looking at £90 aren't you? (If they are from Get Cutie! ) I just am in student mode. I have to stashbust but I just can't help looking! I have a problem!

How can you not fall in love with that!?

I have however promised myself this silk to make a shirt...(maybe dress...) After I have completed my two essays.

How do you abstain/give in to your fabric urges?
