I get "donations" from a lot of friends and family and I am a hard core pack rat. I used to buy fabric, notions, and patterns for each project I wanted to make and they are all neatly labeled and sorted into bags, sadly most have never been made, but I do have a lot of great fabric. If you ever need fabric just let me know, I have an interesting collection! I have a huge stash, and it’s constantly growing!

I stash more felt than anything. I usually don't get the itch to stitch until winter/Christmas time - so my color palette is pretty predictable. I have a pretty small fabric stash.

I like to work with recycled fabrics, remnants and vintage stuff. I just can't go into a store and buy them when I need them. I've gotta grab them when I can. I have a rule, though. If I get something new, something old has to go. I have very limited storage space in my sewing room! That’s kind of tough for me. I like to work with recycled fabrics, remnants and vintage stuff.

I *do* sew from my stash since I usually buy in 2 - 3 yard lengths. I don't feel a bit guilty about bringing home fabric without a specific pattern in mind :) I have a smallish stash and it’s full of fabrics I purchased at ridiculously low clearance prices (I’m talking 50 cents to $2 a yard).

When I make something new, I get great satisfaction using my stash! However, I think I am ready to scale it down a bit. I've already done it with my yarn. Now it's time to do it with my fabric.

But to my credit, I got it all when it was on a great sale or super clearance.
