Depends. Sometimes it's the fabric first then find a good pattern for it. Other times it is a pattern and then I find the fabrics I want to use. I usually shop my stash first and then if I need something to spice it up go shopping.

Both for me too. If I see a pattern I really like, I'll go get the goods for it specifically. But sometimes when I'm standing there in the store, another fabric will call out to me. My scraps talk to me, too. I have most of my fabrics divided into project bags waiting for me to get done with my current project, and the here-to-date silent scraps are in totes and tubs.

Sometimes I buy fabric for a pattern I have in mind.
