If you give a Mouse a Cookie - Fabricaholic version humor
susandf Expert/Couture AZ USA Member since 4/30/11 Posts: 95	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/6/12 5:28 PM From my website: Destashification Project If you give someone who sews several yards of fine woolen fabric, she will need a pattern. If she finds a pattern in The Stash, it will specify interfacing. If she goes to the store to buy interfacing, a piece of fabric will sing its siren song to her. That piece of fabric will need a pattern, so she will visit the pattern counter. Unable to choose a specific pattern, she will settle on three that might work. But they require buttons, thread, zippers and new sewing machine needles. Buyer's remorse is reduced by 30% because the coupon indicates 30% off. When she gets home, she discovers she forgot to purchase the interfacing. So, she must return to the store to buy interfacing. But, if she goes to the store to buy interfacing, a piece of fabric will sing its siren song to her........ ------ The Destashification Project - Stash Couture!

One of our local fabric stores has a pop-up sale store with nothing over $5/m at the moment (including silks and wool........ mmm!) I went to buy some $1 lining this morning, and also came home with waterproof coating and three different knits -- Edited on 3/6/12 6:22 PM -- ------ Wendy Wellington, New Zealand
