And they never expire, so we can use them at any time, including in a couple of decades for our granddaughters! I am sad that my local Hancock closed up, because it was so much nicer than Joann's. I know your co-worker will enjoy her skirt; that pattern is adorable, and the fabric is great!<br /><br />To decide what to sew, I grab several season-appropriate fabrics, pile them upon my dining room table, and walk past them for a couple of days until one calls out to me. Then I figure out how much I have of that, and what it would like to be. And I often sew several things in the same color family for no good reason!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-44334818849667614872012-06-02T06:03:51.783-04:002012-06-02T06:03:51.783-04:00That's a tough question.

Some times, though, I find myself stunned into indecision and I waste whole days waivering about what I want to sew. At the moment I'm trying to sew what I need and that's a whole new experience!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-15978185156655906432012-06-02T01:51:29.243-04:002012-06-02T01:51:29.243-04:00Great post.

I used to get all the patterns I like, now I get patterns I would actually make.toyhttp://trinilove.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-70855845816626282082012-06-01T22:33:51.904-04:002012-06-01T22:33:51.904-04:00Yup I have big plans for the weekend too and I lov...Yup I have big plans for the weekend too and I love calling patterns wonderful possibilities! That top on my blog is actually from Forever21 but I have an OOP Butterick 4987 that would do the exact same thing.

Let's not talk about patterns, I purchased over 80 Vogue patterns but at .25 each who could blame me and I did give a lot of them away. Sometimes I have a piece of fabric that I just can't wait to cut into and other time I agonize over the next project, I'm trying to learn to just go with it.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305569483103134078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-38728108290355803372012-06-01T21:32:00.538-04:002012-06-01T21:32:00.538-04:00Ah, decisions, decisions!

With 6 of us in the family and my goal of being as self sufficient as possible.... the decision is usually made by what item is most needed. And when I occasionally get caught up with the "needs" I get to venture out with the "wants". Which usually ends up being the item for me that I've been putting off endlessly because a child needs something.Freedom Acres Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606668264641600520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-6297283203689528422012-06-01T20:49:49.295-04:002012-06-01T20:49:49.295-04:00i LOVE that fabric. so awesome!i LOVE that fabric. so awesome!wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325131782150858859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-8141041631114840602012-06-01T20:42:44.611-04:002012-06-01T20:42:44.611-04:00This is such a great question, Faye, one I have be...This is such a great question, Faye, one I have been dealing with lately. My time is more limited recently because of work so I really have to figure out how to make these decisions. My last garment, a tablecloth skirt, was quick, down and dirty and I got it done in a weekend. Becuase I knew I could complete in the time I had, that's what I put on the top of the list. Next will be a white shirt. That is because I really, really need one. So that is what is sort of governing things right now, speed and need.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-40727765475592689452012-06-01T19:01:02.753-04:002012-06-01T19:01:02.753-04:00Oh my gosh I am soooooo right there with you on th...Oh my gosh I am soooooo right there with you on this topic of what to sew first!!! It's been so bad that it's slowed my sewing down so much!!! I need a sewing assistant too!!! I also need a blog assistant too! Some things I have managed to crank out, have not been posted because of time constraints too! I think it must be something we sewers go thru at times...our minds creating garments faster than our little hands can keep up with!<br /><br />Looks like you've got some nice fabric selections...good luck on you projects this weekend!Myrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359520837946001668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-51415434895897330082012-06-01T18:20:49.994-04:002012-06-01T18:20:49.994-04:00I have a lot of patterns too.

I also feel no need to plan to sew all the patterns I have (good thing 8-D), I feel they are part of my fantasy sewing life. For instance I have a Bill Blass evening gown pattern that I know I will never make, but I am keeping it because I like to pretend I may sew it one day. Don't tell non-sewists how many patterns you have, they won't understand. <br /><br />Have a great productive relaxing weekend!ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507269696688990191.post-63566515798289103952012-06-01T18:19:47.508-04:002012-06-01T18:19:47.508-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461543882119926595noreply@blogger.com
