Signs you may be a true fabric addict... Cutting fabric makes you cry. You buy fabric but you don't know how to sew. You can't put clothes in your closet because it's full of fabric. You show your fabric to your friends and expect them to get excited. You named your pets Poly, Paisley and Cotton. You smell your fabric before you buy it. You buy dresses so you can cut them up and use the fabric. You go out for bread but come home with fabric. The spare bedroom is know as the fabric room. People think you are reaching out to shake their hand but instead you feel their clothing. Hugz,

That’s me: You buy fabric but you don't know how to sew. You can't put clothes in your closet because it's full of fabric – I started using second closet. You buy dresses so you can cut them up and use the fabric. You go out for bread but come home with fabric.

I'm not so bad -- Cutting fabric makes you cry. Not so much since I got the higher and larger cutting table. You buy fabric but you don't know how to sew. I know how to sew. You can't put clothes in your closet because it's full of fabric. There is no fabric in my closet! It's all over the rest of the house. You show your fabric to your friends and expect them to get excited. Well, if they didn't want to see it they wouldn't come to my house. You named your pets Poly, Paisley and Cotton. No I didn't. You smell your fabric before you buy it. Yeah, doesn't everyone? I use all my senses, especailly hearing when it screams "BUY ME." You buy dresses so you can cut them up and use the fabric. Only second hand ones. You go out for bread but come home with fabric. Yeah well.....So what. The spare bedroom is know as the fabric room. Yeah well....So what. People think you are reaching out to shake their hand but instead you feel their clothing. Not always. |

You know you are a sewer when .... You're looking through your stash closet for a piece of fabric you're sure you already have when you hear a choked voice from the doorway ask "Where did you get all that fabric?" You look up and there is a white  face staring at you like they can't comprehend what they're seeing.  Patsy Patsy

I can relate to a lot of those. All I can say is good thing I'm allergic to most pets. How about when everyone is admiring your friends new pants, and you're studying construction details. Or that the discovery of a new fabric store makes you happy for a week, even in the middle of winter blah's. Or the thrill of walking around a fabric store and giving yourself time to touch everything and look at the pattern books. (this can get overwhelming though - good thing I don't usually have this much time) A quote from DH "It's not that I mind you buying the fabric (bless him), it's just the way it's starting to pile up everywhere..." |

What about when you get a fabric store flyer and a check in the mail on the same day and you look at the fabric store flyer first? Been there, done that! I recently moved and I think there were more boxes marked "sewing room" than there were marked "kitchen." Shelly Moon

Saturday shopping expedition. Daughter no 1 and hubby go to computer store to spend on new laptap for daughter. Daughter 2 and I go to fabric store to buy material/pattern for prom dress ( already shortlisted) DH and DD arrive while we are still whirling giddily around the bolts clutching laptop, extra memory, mouse, floppy drive etc etc and say "How long can it take?" believe me - it takes as long as it takes! We sent them off for coffee - seemed safer, then when we joined them he says "HOW much did you spend!!!" sheesh. A computer is out of date as soon as you but it , but a nice bit of smutter... love and kisses, Jan
