Okay it's already been established that I have a ton of fabric.... I stopped counting at 5000 yards. Truly I know this because I wound about 1/2 of my stash on comic book cards....the other half is in totes in my fabric room... I also have 3 large commercial wide filing cabinets in the "Christmas Room" (yeah I know crazy). 1 Cabinet is full of Christmas fabric and another with Specialty and other holiday fabric. The 3rd is full of my embroidery substrates. I bought fabric at the end of each season for my quilting.... when it was put in the 50% off or more bins at the quilting stores. This is quilt store quality... which for a long time was signficantly different. Then I have since bought a lot of rare and out of print fabric at n estate sale.... I mean it was there staring at me and NOBODY was paying any attention to it. I bought all of it and then entertained people as they watched me fill my car up. I'm fairly certain there was betting going on and whomever betted FOR me won! I tucked fabric and such under my seats, in the compartments and back of my seatbacks... I didn't know I had space there before. I had so much that I could only see out of my right side mirror by leaning forward as I held the goodies in place with my right arm. Floor to ceiling and one of my tire alarms was lit up in my control panel lol. I had a helper hold in some stuff with my drivers door window partially opened and closed the final door... there was actual applause! This has come in handy.... with JoAnn's out of business and with only Walmart and a Hobby Lobby and a couple of quilt stores to get fabric....I am set for life right now!!! Plus I love to introduce new people to sewing and give them supplies and fabric to get started.... I love that aspect! Tell my your Thrifty or Hoarder stories!

Dolce and Gabbana Spring Runway show was all about Mens Pajama sets.... of course all dolled up with roses and glam! Wow! I've never worn pajama's inpublic before but the pink set with vines and roses are soooo cute! I don't know if I will be brave enough to venture out shopping in them, but I am ordering some vines from amazon now to make some for the home front! Check out Marta from Sparta for the Youtube info on that one. My thought is the fancy runway folk, have been watching our own Traci Meyers who has been upcycling pajama gowns etc into gorgeous fun outfits! Check out Mandy's Upcycled Sewing Rebels group here... she's been rocking the upcycling world here!! I'm venturing into my fabric room to locate some striped fabric...... hmmmm I have some striped and ooh plaid that would be soooo comfy and cute! I have gorgeous rose fabric and satin flowers to go with.... lets get busy!!
