My Creative Space

QUESTION:  How much can a Pincushion Swap really cost when you have everything you need at home?

Surely it is just a question of postage...


ANSWER:  No, obviously a new pattern is needed, and a meter each of a couple of new fabrics while you are at it, I don't need new fabric but I couldn't leave them there...  I still have a month to go so it will be interesting to see what else I need between now and then! 
Some cute pins perhaps?

  7. Yes I can see your point. After all you need to be/feel inspired when beginning a new project, and your fabric is just that! I can see there is going to be a rush on pins...better get moving! x

  9. It would be wrong to not buy a new pattern and too much fabric Becky (is that what I am supposed to say!!!).

    The fabric is very cute.

  14. i absolutely get what you are saying. there is always the need to rush out and stock up on irresistable fabric even if they do become part of a stash that will surely outlive me. i wonder if there is some kind of group therapy arrangement for folk like us

  16. I like the tape measure fabric. I would have bought extra fabric and stuff too.

  17. LOL. I feel the same way, I need to go through my stash asap and see if it's adequate enough for my liking (and my partner's colour choices). Love your fabrics! xo m.

  18. You can never have too much fabric! I always walk past it, and it instantly turns into something beautiful and I have to buy it (despite the fact I have about ten unfinished projects in a pile on the floor...
