Well, I was planning to sew from and NOT add to my stash. Ooops. Silly online sales of awesome tempted me. And amazing fabric finds from LA. What can I say. I am weak. Of course, to be entirely fair, my posting is also a bit backlogged, so this is really several months worth of fabric buying. … More Fabric Gluttony: So Much for Minimizing the Stash
I have been trying to be good and not buy too much fabric. Then my birthday happened and I got coupons… Which I mostly was able to ignore until about 5 hours before they expired. Which is when some really fantastic looking fabrics showed up in the “new arrivals” or “clearance” sections of my favorite … More Birthday Fabric Stashing
So, while I was initially uninspired by the early preview for the March issue of Burda, I ended up really liking a lot of the styles in this issue, and it seems that having the magazine in my position has inspired a fair bit of fabric acquisition and unexpected project planning. Which I think is … More Drat You March Burda!
I have been quite stressed the past few months what with finishing up school things. Which will be coming to a close (with a little bit of luck) this week. As a celebration for finishing my paper (I hope) I am doing a little blogging. I haven’t had any time to sew. But apparently stress … More November Fabric Splurges

And then you start to look for all the coordinating fabrics for that project … More Recent Sewing Acquisitions

So, last week Fabric Mart was having one of their famous Pyramid sales… And since I have been looking for some white cotton I figured it would be a good time to look there. Luckily, I totally scored on the white cotton front. However, I also managed to find a few other things to get … More Pyramid Fabrics
Ok, first of all, let me say I didn’t order all of this on Fat Tuesday. It just all happened to arrive at the same time. And let’s just say that (regardless of religious affiliations or lack thereof) the irony of the timing was not lost on me… First of all, I was ordering a … More Fat Tuesday Fabric Haul
Ok, well, I wasn’t planning on buying quite so much fabric at the end of the year, but for some reason the end-of-year sales offered up better options to me than any of the Black Friday or pre-Christmas sales did. Most of my family gave me “fabric money” as holiday gifts, and so I went … More The Last Great Fabric Haul of 2011
