« Sunset in Saugatuck. | Main | I've got about three weeks of summer left. »

My fabric-lusting eyes (bark) are so much bigger than my actual-sewing bite.

I am completely obsessing over this lovely elephant skyline knit fabric (also seen here). So I said to myself "OK I can buy it once I've made four garments!"

Then I looked in my mostly apparel fabric closet.

The mostly apparel fabric closet.

HAHAHAHAHA WHO AM I KIDDING I CAN NEVER BUY FABRIC AGAIN. (And this isn't even a drop in the bucket of the quilting weight fabric...)

So I started sorting.

Reasons I can't buy more apparel fabric

There are bottom-weight fabrics

Reasons I can't buy more apparel fabric

knit fabrics

Reasons I can't buy more apparel fabric

Reasons I can't buy more apparel fabric

dress weight fabrics (voiles, seersuckers, poplins, etc)

Reasons I can't buy more apparel fabric

Reasons I can't buy more apparel fabric

Good. Grief.

And when was the last time I sewed a piece of clothing? August 2013. So yeah I'm using up my stash SO FAST that I will likely die before I've even cut into HALF of it.

Well. At least it's reorganized.

That's better.

So there's that.

I'm sewing again. First time in years. Been infected with the Alabama Chanin bug.
Just saying...

I love your fabric choices! My deal is that I don't get to buy any more quilt fabric until I've finished my first quilt.
