Usually when I buy fabric I am really excited about it so I go home and cut out all the things I want to make from it. Then the cut pieces sit in my boxes for years! I stopped buying fabric because I have so many projects cut out, I could sit at home and sew full time for a year and still not finish everything. I definitely succumbed to the "whoever dies with the most fabric wins" mentality. :-)limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-8480669403461751912013-02-21T00:47:58.988-05:002013-02-21T00:47:58.988-05:00I love this, it's so real.
