The shopping ban is lifted

26. 05. 2012 2

I've been on a self imposed shopping ban since last August with a strict no admittance to any fabric store policy. But lately I've completed a few sewing projects and my fabric stash though still handsome by any standards has begun to dwindle.
Oh we can't have that said I and Mr. C agreed. Of course. So in a recent splurge I bought the cherry print microfiber fabric that's just begging to be turned into a retro shirt for the summer.

But best of all the cherries are an exact match to a cotton twill fabric that's been patiently waiting in my collection of fabrics. So I'm thinking of going all out retro with high waisted pants and a shirt to match, wedges and a canvas bag for the perfect take on a summer causal ensemble that will work for office as well as leisure time.

    1. Amy, I am limited by the storage space in our apartment and believe me every shelf, alcove and nook is taken up with DIY supplies :-)

  3. Can´t wait to see what you come up with!!
    Talking about shopping bans - first, I support them. Second, it is often wise to keep quiet about one, if you are not 100% sure you can keep it on.
    I have read about so many bans people supposedly are on, yet they neglect their promises ( for themselves ) so very easily.

    1. sometimes telling about the shopping ban can have a positive effect, it helps keep you on track partly because you don't want to embarass yourself in front of the people whom you've told about it.
