I bought so much when I was really unhappy at work and didn't have much time to sew anything- I loved just thinking about the possibilities of the fabric and imagining what I could make with it someday. Now I'm kind of glad that I stashed all that stuff away because I have a lot less disposable income and can't buy fabric on a whim anymore, but I have so many pretties to choose from in my stash! But I still do kinda hate myself when I realize I could sew for 5 years without buying anything at all at the rate that I sew!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-77107763136245124902016-02-09T12:46:17.889-05:002016-02-09T12:46:17.889-05:00Wish there were a "like" button here.

But, it needs to fit in the (ample) room I've allotted and then it is time to deaccession. <br /><br />I put the stuff that I now feel meh about in bins and tell my daughter's sewing friends that they can take whatever they like out of those 'outbound' bins.<br /><br />Fabric stores need our patronage $ to stay in business, or they won't be there later. I continue to buy sparingly and deaccession stuff I bought earlier. This curation will improve the quality of my collection and my future sewing. ;-)badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-25149796869447687262016-02-07T15:12:16.779-05:002016-02-07T15:12:16.779-05:00Peggy - I haven't crocheted in so long that it...Peggy - I haven't crocheted in so long that it will be simple designs and I'm making them to go over leggings and jeans.
