Hi, my name is Omega and I'm a fabricaholic

Yes, it's true.  I've been trying to get my stash whittled down a bit but I just can't seem too.  So, the other evening on my way home from work, I just made a casual visit to a local fabric store "G-Street Fabrics".  It's pretty convenient to stop on my way home so I just wanted to stop in to see what new stuff was in.  I love to visit the $2.97/yd table at the back of the store.  So, I strolled into the store Oooing & Awwwing all the way back to my favorite spot...the $2.97 table.  There were mounds & mounds of fabric on the table and I often find some real treasures there.  So, here's what I got...

I actually did pretty good and didn't go overboard.  But, I'll go back again & again.  I just can't help myself.  I guess I could have much worse addictions but I love this one and I don't want treatment.

HAPPY SEWING!!

  8. I'm sooooo jealous! I mean I was at that $2.97 a yard table earlier this year and got the most amazing dress made from fabric bought there. I would be stopping by that table every weekend...so I think you are showing great restraint.

    ...and we all know I'm an unrepentant fabricaholic so there is no more to say after that!

  13. Honestly, I don't get the issue. I fail to see this as a problem. LOL I LOVE fabric shopping and I miss G Street fabric. I've been to all 3 locations, but I like the Rockville location best. I lived in Columbia, MD before moving to Ohio.

  14. OMG!! Renee & GodgirlT, I'm originally from Ohio (born & raised) I relocated to MD a few years ago. If not for timing maybe we could have been sewing buddies!

  15. I agree it's an addiction but I have been very good this year in keeping my purchases to a minimum. I have yet to visit the inner sanctum of G Street. But between you, Cidell and Trena, I feel I may be adding to my stash before the year is out.

  16. Love G Street Fabrics! When I'm in the DC area, I always have to stop by. Girl, I so relate to your addiction...Step one: Recognize you have a problem. Step two: Deny how much you actually spend on fabric. Step three: Hide purchases whenever neccessary. Step four: learn to live with the fact that fabric is your best friend. Step five: Assist and enable other fabric-aholics with their addiction by posting your purchases and known suppliers on your blog.
