I Fell Off The Wagon
I know that I had recently said that I wasn't going to make any new fabric purchases, but I've been anxiously awaiting the release of Amy Butler's latest patterns and doing lots of planning:
The first 3 fabrics are for the Field Bag pattern - all are from Amy's August Field's collection of fabrics. They seemed to have a nice summery feel to them which is what I wanted since I plan on using my finished project as a swimming pool tote.
I had intended on using the blue jersey for the keyhole back dress seen in the latest Burda magazine. However, now that I have it in my hands - the material is just too 'nice' (for lack of a better word) for this design. I will probably use it with a different pattern and find a simple cotton interlock for the Burda dress.
As for the Mini Dress, Tunic, and Tops pattern, I searched the stash and plan on using a woven stretch that I purchased at Gorgeous Fabrics quite awhile ago....at least that's the plan for now - maybe I should stay away from fabric stores for awhile!

No admonitions from me, because I love all three of your projects. That Field bag is HUGE - you could probably tote Easton in it!

I love the field bag and I can't wait to see yours (and need to add that pattern to my wish list).
I also agree with the others - there is absolutely nothing wrong with buying fabric.

I am also a big fan of Amy Butler prints and the best price I've found is from downshadowlane on etsy. I just linked to your site from threadbangers and am also a fabric junkie.
