Sew What?

I LOVE Flickr - really I do! After etsy it's probably the website that I frequent the most. All in thanks to my brand new, uncontrollable, love for fabric swapping.

I'm a sewing novice. Last Christmas when my mother in law got a new sewing machine as a gift she passed down her old one to me, which previously belonged to Mikes late Aunt. I've certainly used sewing machines before, but as far as owning one, this is as far as I've ever got. Oh, did I mention that this thing is old as can be and mounted into a little sewing table. Its so vintage and I love it so much!

It certainly hasn't taken me much time to amass a huge collection of fabric too - its like paper is to me - ADDICTING! I can't get enough! I'm no master seamstress by any means, but I can make pillows, totes, and curtains like its nobodys business! Eventually I'll consider moving on to a few more adventurous projects... because that's what I do, take on a zillion projects and fall in love with something new over and over again only to realize that I miss and love the something old as well and then I juggle a million interests around. Others call me crazy, I call it being cultured in the way of the craft ;-)

Anyways, back to the original point of this post, if you are a fabric hoarder or like to sew, or heck, even if you just want to send and receive awesome packages in the mail you should really look into all of the amazing Fat Quarters swap groups on Flickr!

Here's one that I admin:
