Scraps from my current project
Monday I drove out to Fabric Depot with my mom. It was my first ever visit to this fabric nirvana and certainly won't be my last. The only way I could have been more inspired is if the fabrics were organized by color instead of brand. Still, it was absolutely amazing in a dangerous way that could possibly spur a personal and expensive sewing renaissance.
I will only admit this because I know my coupon-deal getting czar sister, Allyson, does not read my blog: If I had spent 3 minutes checking around on-line I probably would have been able to find a coupon and avoid the minor panic attack I had checking out with my 5 yards of fabric and 3 funky buttons.
But the real serious hyper-ventilating came when I failed to use my JoAnn's coupon because of a little thing I like to call "complete coupon incompetence" and ended up paying full price for 9 yards of fuseable interfacing, 5 yards of solid fabric and 2 spools of thread.
That's OK though (breathe, breathe) because it will all be worth it when I showcase the darling things I am making with my full-price fabric.
I can't wait to go back to Fabric Depot, but next time, I promise I'll use a coupon.
I'm salivating....gorgeous fabric...love fabric...can't get enough of fabric...sigh.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you went to Fabric depot, isn't it marvelous? The first time I went i cried tears of joy. I think they SHOULD organize fabric by color there.
ReplyDeleteOk, for the record I DO read your blog and shame on you for not using coupons!! Just kidding, you got some beautiful fabric and probably had a ton of fun with mom. Don't beat yourself up too much, I'm sure you'll be better prepared next time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't have any children with you, because that will dampen the experience. And I am anxious to see what you will do with it! Will you possibly....stop reading?!?
ReplyDeleteNope, no kids went with me to FD. They can barely stand 5 minutes in JoAnn's, and that includes the time spent standing in line in front of the huge candy selection.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to stop reading, so don't worry. And I just finished the project this morning and will be posting pictures soon. Maybe tomorrow.
Looks like really cute prints of fabric! I'm excited to see the results.
