Why does shopping make you feel better when you sad? I have been trying very hard not to purchase much fabric this year as I just do not have space to store it anymore. With the loss of my kitty, fabric shopping seemed to distract me for a little bit. Fabric from fabrics-store.com:
I purchased 12 yards of this natural linen to finish my loveseat. Fingers are crossed that 12 yards is enough after washing.
This is a waffle weave linen/cotton blend. I purchased 6 yards to make a robe for my husband. Hopefully, 6 yards will be enough and shrinkage occurrs.
This is a doggie bag purchase. Three yards of an asphalt linen. This will become some sort of an outfit - pants with a matching top, a dress, or a skirt with a matching top. Yeah, I try not to purchase anything without a clear idea of what I am wanting to make but I had been eyeing this color for a long while and it is rare to see a piece this large in the doggie bag.
I have not purchased this amount of fabric in a long time. I have my eye on another piece of fabric but I do not if I will get it now. Although, it is possible that I may need another distraction. My kitty that passed was like a baby to me. He was the first one that I had raised from a kitten. Believe me when I say that adults cats are much easier. He never seemed to outgrown that kitten behavior and was still bouncing off the walls until about 2 days before his death.
Happy Stitching!
