Fabric Stash Report #1
If I get $1 for saying: I’m not going to buy fabrics for the next <insert #> <weeks/month/year>, I’ll probably be able to get myself a new Bernina sewing machine.
It’s silly, but I feel GUILTY each time I checkout a bundle of fabrics at the store. BUT I try to justify the buys for making things for the Etsy shop, for Benji, for the home, etc. Truth is, I should NOT feel bad about fabric shopping since I hardly spend on clothes, fancy restaurants or expensive holidays. Last year, my ‘resolution’ was to start on a NEW project only after I have completed another. That worked pretty alright since I completed a number of old WIPs.
This year, I’m determined to shed the guilt trip, and buy whatever I like and to complete more projects than I ever had. I came across Jaybird’s bog and I’m pretty impressed with the simple way of keeping track of your stash. I’m not going to account for what is ALREADY in the stash, (or what I bought in Japan in Feb!). I will simply start my report in April.
Here goes:
Week 1: 5 April – 12 April
In: 18.59 yds
Out: 0.25 yds
YTD total:
Purchased: 18.59 yds
Busted: 0.25 yds
net: -18.34 yds
Hello! Thanks for popping by my blog again! 🙂
Haha, I’m a fabric fanatic too… I just got some off Etsy, to add to my every growing pile… 😛 And you’re a fantastic sewer you know? Would you consider doing a tutorial for those clutch purses? Please please?
Take care, and happy sewing!
