Confessions of a fabric addict…..

Ever had too much of something???  That would be me too.  I recently started my sewing business and have gone through boxes in my storage room.  I didn’t label anything correctly (normally I am anal about this) so as I was going through the boxes, I realized I had 13 big boxes marked wrong.  Ok, I thought so I have a little fabric addiction.  Now that I have gone through the rest of my storage room today, I have come to admit – I am fabric obsessed.  There I’ve said it.  I must have bolts and bolts of the same kind of fabric.  It’s an illness-LOL.  But in all honesty you never know when you may use it- at least that is what I’m telling myself.  So what to do with all this fabric??

I have too much that I could sew until I’m 90 (which I’m 36 so that’s too much).  I have a sewing studio of 12’x10′ so it’s small but so quaint and I even have my office on the right side wall so it’s even smaller.  I have an extra storage room around the corner where I have stored our stuff for this fall when we relocate to a bigger space.  I know, I know just what I need a bigger place.  Honestly, I thought the boxes stacked so neatly were my daughter’s craft/art supplies along with our winter clothing.  Imagine my surprise when searching for the DVD “Lady in the water” in a boxed marked DVD’s to open it and find sewing notions.  Oh, so that’s where I put the extras.  OMG-I am ill with the need to add more.

I already have listed fabric from my bolts that I have left in my office (NOT including the boxes we found today) on Etsy and Artfire to bring in my fall fabric bolts.  No need now since finding all 13 boxes are full of more bolts.  I was amazed and irritated with myself.  Of course, my daughter, Allison 16, didn’t make me feel better by stating you have too much junk and then handed my the Joann flyer that came in the mail today.  Yeah no kidding and Yes, I still want to go to Joann fabric and quilt shops.

Well the first thing to do is admit you have a problem and move on from there so here goes- Hello my name is Lisa and I’m a fabric addict.  LOL.  Maybe this is my hint to list fabric and notions along with my creations on Etsy & Artfire- this would be good to encourage others to love fabric.  ha ha.

Don’t worry I am listing at least 1/2 of the inventory on my sites.  Check it out if you need fabric (hint, hint…you know you want more too.)  I feel it’s all grandma’s fault for teaching me to sew- yeah that makes me feel better.  Love her. 🙂

for fabric and other creations check out:  lots of great fabric to make back to school or college stuff.
