I Bought Fabric....Again

I really need to stop this.  Shopping for and "having" fabric has become a serious distraction.  Instead of spending my time honing my skills by making new garments from my already considerable stash, I fabric shop.  Nearly everyday.  I don't purchase each time, but I do browse.  This is my latest fix.  If you check the other "Fabric" set on Flikr you'll see what I'm talking about.  That set represents about 2/3 of what I have...I think. And the Fabric In/Fabric Out deal on the right?  So not working for me - it would take years to update it at the rate I'm going.

Do you see what I mean? A definite distraction. I need to go on a fabric diet.  A food diet is needed as well but one problem at a time.  April 18th is when our Spring Break begins - that's my date.  Wish me luck!

My fave from the last bunch is the peach linen.  ModCloth has a dress that inspired the purchase called "Trench of the Tropics"and it should be fairly easy to find a pattern that I already own to use.  It's a cute dress but $95?  I think not.
