I finally updated the 'fabric in' totals...
Shocking, but in 2 months I have managed to acquire a fuzz over 42 yards of fabric.
Whilst sewing up less than 1/4 of that amount.
Time to put the brakes on, I believe, and get some sewing done....
But I'm not going to get a sewing road trip on the schedule this year, it appears, so at least I don't have to resist fabric live-and-in-person.... :-)
Off to work on the Denim Jacket muslin #2. If I've got the shoulders/sleeves right, we're full steam ahead...
Love the post title "Buying like I was really sewing...." lol. That's where I was last year. I had to put the brakes on. So hard to stop, I love fabric, but everything else gets in the way of my sewing. Full steam ahead...
ReplyDeleteCough. Cough. 42 yards? Where will you put it all?
ReplyDeleteUm, yup, that's part of the problem...lol. Those were GOOD SALES.... ;-)
DeleteI understand this...I've done it for years. This will probably be the first year where I sew out more than I bring in.
ReplyDeleteIn all the years I've been tracking yards in vs. yards out...I think I've managed to hit parity (sew as much as I buy) only twice. NEVER have I sewn significantly more than I bought.
DeletePitiful. But I have really restricted my fabric purchases in the last couple of years; just didn't keep the sewing level up to what it used to be. But I need clothes to replace the ones that are fading, pilling and, um, snug, so I'm hoping to get those yards out up a bit this year. With those thoughts running through my head as I perused the sales, those yards in piled up quick....
