During a bout of methodicalness, I decided to catalogue it all, so I knew what i had. A sobering experience (soon remedied by a glass of merlot). I decided that if i made a garment from each piece in my stash for each and every week, I had a supply of fabric that would last me over 4 years. Of course I am not going to make a garment each week. So i put myself on a fabric diet. <br /><br />Then last weekend, when cleaning out some books in the back of a cupboard, what should I find, but two more boxes of fabric, most of which I have no recollection of buying. I'm convinced that it is breeding in dark corners.<br /><br />Part of the problem is that the day job (which funds the fabric habit) means I don't have enough free time to sew as much as I would like. Retirement will mean more time. But so much of the fabric is ideally suited to work clothing. Which, once I have retired, won't be required.<br /><br />What a conundrum!!Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132044454683106362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-63328660742013363772013-10-31T09:57:17.713-04:002013-10-31T09:57:17.713-04:00Ha!
