I know what you mean. I have boxes and boxes of patterns. I always start out saying this pattern would be great for this fabric.
But then when I finally get to making it I end up using a different fabric.
So I keep going around and around trying to make up my mind on what to use.
I just have to get my act together and use the fabric and the patterns I already have. Oh did I say i go through the different patterns on the internet and guess what I print them out. so i have about 20 3" binders full of patterns.
Oh well it is fun and like all of us I love it.
Back to work on sewing room. bye for now kjym Kathy
Good luck to all of us at least it beats bar hopping right?

Not only do I collect material and drool over the ones I don't like to cut into you know they are the ones we are saving for a special project but I confess to saving receipe books and the receipes I use are usually cut out from mags etc.
