Nooooo, of course not!

No, I did not buy seven one-meter Kaffe Fassett/Brandon Mabley fabrics earlier this week.

Such a ridiculous notion!

Probably a long shot but does anyone on here uses a commercial or created their own private database that has the following features:

1. Contains your

- pattern stash
- fabric stash *and*
- inspiration images regardless of source

*and*

2. allows you to match them in a sorta project management way?

Thanks for feedback! 🌞

I had time to kill before meeting my mom today, wandered into a fabric shop, and ... well, you know. I actually bought fabric. Now to clean up the study, unpack the sewing machine, and figure out what I want to make with it. (And I should probably do that in a slightly different order.)

Today I began #sewing my #fabricstash for the 30 Meter Fabric Challenge (33 yards because 'Murica). It's about five yards which means I still have 28 more to go.

I'm reusing another pattern I drafted last year. I copied it from a dress I saw on ModCloth. I gave it puffy sleeves and a half circle skirt, even though the original dress had fairly narrow short sleeves, and an A-line skirt. To give my pattern some variation, I'm using narrow short sleeves with cuffs, a gathered skirt and adding a slit to the neckline, so im not sewing the exact same dress twice.

I even caught an error in my pattern that explains why I've only worn it twice. Apparently, when I drafted this dress, I only added half the space I needed for darts. The dress is 2.5 inches smaller than it should be. Well, I fixed that.

I'm hoping to be through with this dress by Tuesday, if I don't lose steam.

I decided to attempt the project I scrapped in May, then realized I hated the fabric. There is no law saying that fabric has to go with that project. Thankfully I started taking pictures, last July, of fabric as I order or purchase them. I was able to pick out something and didn't even need to double check the yardage.

When I found it, I found another good option so I decided to prewash them both. I complain about my fabric stash being too big, then I have moments like this.

Just remember, there is no law that says you have to use your planned fabric, for your everyday wardrobe. You can make whatever you want. It took me almost two months to remember that. Don't be like me.

Also, if you don't already, take pics of your fabric as you buy it. That way you don't have to pull out your whole stash just to see what you have. Those pictures saved me at least an hour.
