It’s not chocolate, or some icing-covered treat. It’s fabric! I can’t get enough of the stuff and I think about it all the time. When I’m not looking on the internet for it, I’m wandering up and down the aisle’s of JoAnn’s fighting the urge to throw a hundred bolts into my cart and race towards the cashier.

I think this is the most fun part of sewing - picking out your fabric. Trying different color combinations, different patterns, textures - it seems to please all the senses. With the way fashion and trends are today, there really are no rules and you can go with whatever looks good to you.

I got this sewing book awhile back called Simple Sewing with a French Twist and have finally gotten the opportunity to crack it open and read it and I’m addicted to it. The projects, the pictures, the style of writing - it’s all so great. I highly recommend it no matter if you’re new to sewing or an old pro.

After flipping through it I see a lot of projects I want to tackle, but then I saw this rad purse. Of course, this isn’t one of the projects, just a prop for the photograph, but how hard can it be, right? Now I just have to choose my fabric…
