Yet another Fabric Haul
Hello everyone!
Today is the biggest shopping day of the year - Black Friday - so it seems fitting to share my biggest haul of the year, which includes material for dozens of garments!
Yeah, I wasn't kidding when I said my biggest haul, I went absolutely mad when researching a single design and ended up becoming a little too inspired. I spent three solid days searching through references and designing future projects until I ended up with a dozen or so sketches of projects I'm quite serious about constructing in the future.
So serious in fact that I became very determined to buy fabric for all of them. That's what motivated the vast majority of this shopping extravaganza. And I feel like that's a good reason for fabric shopping, but I don't think it justifies the sheer quantity of what I purchased.
My sewing room (and bedroom) are starting to look more like fabric stores than functional spaces. So I'm officially on a fabric buying ban. No more material is coming into my sewing room until my birthday in April! I'm determined!
I managed to make it through the black friday sales without breaking (okay fine, I bought glittery christmas ornaments but those AREN'T fabric so it's totally fine) so now I just have to survive cyber monday. And boxing day. And the first three months of 2020. But I think I can do it, and I think it will be nice to put more focus on the fabric I already own!
I've unsubscribed from a bunch of newsletters so hopefully not knowing about fabric sales will make me less inclined to participate in them.
This is good news for those of you who don't like fabric hauls, and if you do like fabric hauls then this one is absolutely massive. So hopefully it will make up for the lack of them in the future.
Also keep an eye out tomorrow for a sketch book tour where I show my plans for most of these materials! It's taken me a little longer to get filmed than I wanted, since I'm trying a new camera set up. But I'm excited to share it!

This phrase, "too much fabric..." I do not understand..
A lady needs to have a huge fabric stash, in my opinion. I also have a big big stash and no time or spirit to use it. But seeing my stash makes me so happy. And I spend my days thinking of what I could make out of them. Such merry thoughts! It would be even better when I would actually have enough energy to make something. But alas.... 🤗
I’m sittning here nodding and smiling at fabrics, especially the olive wool and all the oranges. I haven’t purchased ANY fabric at all since your last haul video, as predicted!
I so enjoy watching your fabric hauls!!! So much fun!! So inspiring. You have so unique taste and it always comes out well!! Looking forward to the sketches. Gena
Just bought that raspberry colored Melton from joanns as it was 9/yard for a coat yesterday
Where do you sell your fabric?
I love seeing how passionate you are about these projects. And my reasoning is that buying a bunch of fabric is fine it you use a bunch of fabric, right?
Sooo excited for your projects! Can't wait to see what you make with all of these!
