Fabric
Hi all, so im getting back into sewing again..All the stores that sold fabric near me have closed, with Joanns being the final one. Does anyone buy fabric online? are you disappointed when you get it..i feel like i need to touch it ...any guidance would be great

Hi Maria, I do occasionally buy on line, I read the description in detail but honestly I prefer to go into a shop and see/feel the fabric, check how badly it creases, how much stretch it has and if I really like it in real life. My on line experience has been good enough, a couple of pieces weren't the quality I would have bought in the shop, but not a waste as it can be used on projects with a backing like vilene etc. Good luck I hope you can find what you are looking for.

Hi Maryam, welcome to the group, I hope you will have a lot of fun sewing all the projects and getting to know the lovely members. The more you participate through comments, sharing ideas and posting about your projects, the quicker you will move up levels and open up all the projects and information. The more you like others posts, (even when they only say thank you to someone else), the more you help them to rise up the levels, commenting on their posts helps both of you! It is great fun helping and watching others move up the levels. Have fun, browse through the posts and see all the awesome creations that have been made and fears conquered, like zips! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜Š If you click on classroom at the top of the page you will find start here where you can read all about the how to! Enjoy ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yesterday's doings
Yesterday evening I decided to sew these pencil pouches just to complete my day and feed my soul. I picked it from my cut and store container. The one zipper pull is on the wrong end. I always make such stupid mistakes.

I started an overdue big clean up on my sewing room, could not let go of any fabric or scraps but it is looking a whole lot neater! Still a lot more to do as I need to put some shelving up.

@Christine Craythorne I understand the half bag thing 100%. I move from the donate pile to the project pile continuously. I like your idea of making a list of what I can do with it.
