I haven't bought fabric in a very long time. But I have almost no time for personal sewing anymore, and what little free time I have is spent sitting on the couch with my husband. I do a little knitting, if anything. So my fabric sits... and waits. I love my fabrics and I need clothes. But the thought of it sitting in those boxes makes me kind of sad... maybe I can find a way to squeeze a couple hours in each week.Kathleen C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09985361663328017340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-23161400770049534702016-10-15T16:46:16.689-05:002016-10-15T16:46:16.689-05:00I know...and I've had at least two pieces of t...I know...and I've had at least two pieces of truly beautiful fabric arrive this year. But what good is beautiful fabric if it's boxed up in the attic? First...I gotta quit buying so much...then, I gotta not be chicken to sew the good stuff... ;-)<br />Lisa Lareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516986664460840579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-27257844896966248172016-10-15T16:42:43.818-05:002016-10-15T16:42:43.818-05:00I understand this struggle trying to keep the fabr...I understand this struggle trying to keep the fabric purchases down when you're not sewing as much. Because even though I have more than enough for 2 lifetimes, I am trying to be more conscientious in my fabric purchases.Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.com
