Welcome to Fabric-holics Anonymous. Only I'm not so anonymous. You might remember my after-Fourth-of-July posting of a few new fabric acquisitions...it hasn't ended there. As many of you can understand, money is a bit tight for us right now so I am now reliant on gift cards and Etsy sales. I keep a separate bank account for Etsy transactions, and everything I sell goes into this account for replenishment of sewing necessities. That account is now depleted so I guess I better get to work filling my Etsy store!
Z&S Fabrics was having a "clear out the store" sale as their orders from Market are starting to roll in. I got this order for under $15 including shipping!
And when I was writing the post about this Orla Kielly-like fabric I discovered the rest of the line. OH MY! I found it at Rainbow Fabrics.
And.....
....for a project to be revealed later!
And lucky for this addict, I won a gift certificate from Kathy at Pink Chalk Fabrics for choosing a selected fabric combo. Now I need to decide, do I put that GC toward the fabric I need to make new curtains for the dining room, or do I buy some of my selected combo...or some Summer Soiree??
But lest you believe I sit in piles of raw fat quarters, I *did* actually make a little something for myself.
Pattern: Wide Leg Lounge Pants from Amy Butler's In Stitches
Fabric: Route 66 for Alexander Henry
Result: Not love...I might take out the drawstring and do some elastic. The pants have a low rise and tend to loosen and droop the longer they're on...I think I should have made a "lounge dress" instead!
You already know I have a fabric problem - it's big time trouble! PS - expect some fun mail today hopefully!
ReplyDeleteOh, I say make some lizzy dish curtains! that would be too cute. Love the pants also, they look super comfey!
ReplyDeleteha ha, I have one piece of amy butler's first (or second) line that I am afraid to use cuz I don't want it to be all gone.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your yo-yo making on your trip!
I don't do fabric shopping online! Yahoo! One less temptation! (I think it is because I have troubles with hues!)
ReplyDeleteI love the pj pants! I have some fabric to make some for myself but my machine is still occupied with (sigh) Advent calendars. I'd really like to get them done by mid-August but I'm not hopeful!
i do this... i just don't see it as a problem!! ..and the mailman brought me 3 packages today... and i was in love!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear ...this is just too tempting...all that yummy fabric and really useful links too....I need to walk.away.from.the.computer.
ReplyDeleteLovely lounge pants :) I agree about the drawstring. I made some and they're far more comfortable with elastic - and less likely to embarrass you when answering the door!
