Sometimes I forget about Spoonflower

I forget about the option of using Spoonflower.com to obtain fabric. The only time I ever bought fabric was when I worked at Joann Fabrics, and whenever I manage to find some at thrift stores. I wish to buy the Japanese fabrics, vintage inspired, and quirky prints.

I really don't need more fabric until I use up what I have. I'm trying really hard to use the fabrics that I really don't like anymore. When I go through my collection I think "What was I thinking?" or "I thought this was cute at one point, but how am I going to use it?" and I guess in a way it demotivates me.

So this is my plan, if I can use up (or trade) the fabric I have and not entirely in love with anymore, then I can reward myself with new fun fabric. Here are a few that I particularly liked:

Retro Glasses Frames
Woodland
Tweet!
fruit and veggie madness
mushroom and forest friends
birdhouse
gnomespink

There are so many more prints that I absolute adore, but this would be one LONG post. I know I have a tendency to pick out novelty fabric. If I managed to get these fabrics I could make fun pillows, or maybe I can get around to make my first quilt. Though, when I am able to spoil myself with new fabric I should probably pick out some not-so-conflicting fun fabric to pair with.

  4. Oh yeah, the glasses and the gnomes definitely have to be my favourites of the faves. I wish I could wear some of those glasses!
