so what's it like buying fabric for an entire year I'm checking in and I've got
an update for you welcome to the Sewing Report I'm Jennifer Moore helping you
discover your love of sewing crafts and DIY projects at the beginning of this
year I announced that I was going to go an entire year without buying any fabric
a total fabric band fabric blackout I don't know what you want to call it so
it's about six months later and I thought I would do an update video a
follow-up to let you know how it's going what kind of thoughts I've had since
I've not been buying fabric don't am i experiencing withdrawal am I about to go
crazy so I haven't been buying fabric for the last six months my stash the
reason I did it was because I felt like my stash was totally out of control
I just kept accumulating more fabric and there was more than I could possibly use
over a course of several years so at that point I decided you know maybe
enough is enough as you know in 2017 I stopped buying
clothing and I still haven't bought any clothing since then for myself and that
project has been going pretty well that that whole challenge so adding another
layer on top of it I thought might be a little a little frustrating or I might
run into more roadblocks and I've got to say it's been a lot easier than I
thought it would be before I started the ban I did kind of think about all the
projects I might want to do throughout the year and I spend about $100 from
fabric wholesale direct and I haven't really used any of that stuff either so
I think that just goes to show sometimes you think you need something or you
won't you think you won't be able to go without something and you really can in
fact I did a pretty large D stash a few months ago on my Instagram account
sewing reports shop or shops on report I'll I'll throw it up here right now if
you want to follow me in fact I may do another D stash because I'm just coming
to find out that I really have more fabric than I
need at the moment and if we move again which looks like it might be a
possibility in the future move out of this apartment then I definitely don't
want to be lugging around all that fabric again I think that's what kind of
brought me to the breaking point as well so I was like wow you know I keep all my
fabric a lot of it in plastic totes it's if they're very heavy it's a lot to
manage and again I don't know what kind of place we're gonna be moving into
after this so if it's smaller that's definitely gonna be a problem so I'm
deaf I'm certainly trying to use up my stash this year and I'm probably gonna
do another D stash to try to purge fabric that I clearly haven't used and
I'm gonna try to basically purge it I guess I guess that's what I'm saying
not that I'm going like full-fledged minimalist we're not going all tiny
house or anything but I guess I just realized I don't want to be the kind of
person that has shut those like huge ass bookshelves filled with fabric I really
don't want that meet me I've got like kind of a small cabinet right over there
that has some fabric in it and some other notions and I think another thing
that's come out of this whole thing is that I've I don't know what it is but
I'm also gravitating towards other interests like the dollhouse addiction
that's becoming a little bit for problem and I'm also developing an interest in
knitting in crochet and again I think that's another thing that you need to
think about with these hobbies the more you accumulate materials for it supplies
what if your interests change for instance I had a huge stash of quilting
cotton and then I started making garments and quilting cotton is not the
best substrate for a lot of the items I want to make so then of course I had to
start accumulating garment with quality fabrics stuff that I you know knit
fabrics things that were a little more like wash and wear that didn't wrinkle
as easy so again then you just start
accumulating more and more and overtime again your interest could
change you might not be as hot about quilting as you used to be I could you
know totally fall out of the dollhouse thing I have no idea so I'm really
trying my best to try to at least if I'm switching interests trying to offload
some of my other materials that I might not be using the longer it sits to like
not like fabric goes bad but it probably will go out of style and over time maybe
the quality could degrade or it could get discolored I don't know have I been
tempted to buy fabric yes I have every time I get those emails announcing sales
there is one collection in particular that I was that caused me a little bit
of agony it was the cloud9 fabrics the they have this collection called glimmer
and if they're just gorgeous fabrics and they're metallic they've got metallic
threads woven in and I will link it below because it's a gorgeous gorgeous
fabrics and if I could buy one fabric this year it would definitely be that
line I just I just really fell in love with those metallic fabrics and I was
like ah so that's probably the one weak moment I had where I was like oh I
really want that I do want to also do some videos this year with repurposing
fabric from other places um I still haven't done my Goodwill
shopping yet but here's the thing though I just it's not like I need any more
materials to work with I already have tons of fabric tons of supplies so I
really don't need to really go out and buy new stuff or find new stuff so come
on oh but this whole thing has really been an interesting experience and if
you haven't done it or and you you're in a place where you feel like you have too
much stuff this could be really good for you and help kind of change your mind
frame and chill out on some of your you know again I'm also not spending money
on fabrics that's been kind of cool too I think the downside though it I do feel
a little bit bad because I'm not supporting fabric
and fabric manufacturers that's probably the thing that kind of bums me out but
there's so much fabric out there and sometimes it's really hard for you to
pare down what you're going to do what you're gonna buy because you you can't
buy at all none of us can buy every piece of fabric that's ever been created
probably not possible overall it really hasn't been as tough
as I thought it would be I know that sounds crazy but that is the truth and I
think I can I very easily feel like I can go the
rest of the year without buying any fabric so I just wanted to kind of do an
update and let you know how I was doing which is which is pretty good and I hope
