We all have something :-)<br /><br />Charlotte: I agree, in order to get serious about sewing you first have to have a solid stash of fabric and notions. But mine was becoming an obsessive need to have all the pretty fabric.<br /><br />Susan: Hi, so nice to see you commenting. I buy most of my fabric with no project in mind but I usually get 2 meters.<br /><br />Ida: thanks, it's a woven viscose remnant I got at a super reduced price.coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-34992440578110698862011-08-22T20:48:26.014+02:002011-08-22T20:48:26.014+02:00The spotty one appeals to me.IdaThe spotty one appeals to me.IdaJudith https://www.blogger.com/profile/03634258386057489997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-53134534433108796442011-08-22T20:37:48.643+02:002011-08-22T20:37:48.643+02:00Fabric is my weakness as well.

You would think there'd be great selections of what we like in San Francisco, but it's not so. We have better luck in Berkeley and Oakland. Definitely worth the drive -- about 45 minutes.<br /><br />Your selections are gorgeous!Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-45024589603724021662011-08-22T18:27:27.877+02:002011-08-22T18:27:27.877+02:00CA, I have the same obsession....and a closetful o...CA, I have the same obsession....and a closetful of fabric. From reading sewing blogs, I have come to understand there's nothing unique about this. In fact, it's practically a requirement. It's called "building a stash." When you see a fabric you love, even if you have no immediate purpose for it, buy at least 3 yards!Charlotte Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584389308420834826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-68415667930073395132011-08-22T17:07:17.722+02:002011-08-22T17:07:17.722+02:00I like different fabrics too, but have only bought...I like different fabrics too, but have only bought when I needed it.<br />Finally something I can resist ;)!mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-35504907282264218732011-08-22T02:55:11.276+02:002011-08-22T02:55:11.276+02:00Love the swatches!
