Stash Confession of Epic Proportions

Ok, so I was being really good about limiting my fabric intake.  But, well, then I happened to come across some really great pieces that just had to come live in my stash.  And this seemed to happen a every time I went to a fabric store to pick up some thread, or at every amazing online sale I got an add for recently.  A few trips to the LA garment district didn't help much.  Add to that the fact that I haven't been very good about taking pictures of late, so now the backlog of fabric buys really looks like a lot.  This is several months of fabric collecting at work here....  I have so many things I want to make!  I expect an explosion of projects once skating sewing is finished.

From Fabric Mart:

Fabric Mart had so many good sales!  I kept finding good stuff I want to sew.
Left (top to bottom): Teal poly jacquard, black wool weather-proof coating, orchid wool suiting.
Right: ITY knit prints and coral cotton sateen.

Top: Silver foil dot knit, green/black ponte knit print.
Bottom: Blue/black ponte knit print, teal ponte knit.

Textured, multicolored linen.

From Fabric.com:

Ribbed knit in black and white, and ponte in blue, teal, and black.
(Also,  I got a jackpot end of bolt notice - sweet!  Usually I am the next person in line after it is gone.)

Fused leather.  This stuff is lovely!  It is actually more of a grey/steel/blue-ish color in person.

Some white Bemberg for lining.

From Fashion Fabrics Club:

Left: Teal textured cotton jacquard.
Right: Snake print poly brocade.
Bottom: Brown/teal houndstooth silk suiting.

From Jo-Ann and Hancock Fabrics:

Left (top to bottom): Black ponte, blue/green striped poly, purple stripe ponte, lilac lace.
Right (top to bottom): Tan cotton twill, ombre nylon coating, black linen-like coated poly.
To be fair, my mom did buy me some of this as a gift...

Left: Bright lace from Jo-Ann.
Right: Knit lining & rayon suiting from Hancock.

From Yardage Town in San Diego:

This poly chiffon print was too pretty to leave behind.

From Michael Levine Loft:

Purple sweater knit, grey striped ponte, aqua/white striped jersey, teal poly suiting.

Jersey knits in lots of colors.  Love the teal stripes!
Going to have to pick a good pattern for that one.

Tribal ITY prints.  Going to make some wrap dresses I think.

Grey suiting, navy textured ponte, and some Green Lantern.

From LA Fashion District:

Sequin fabric! Silk jacquard (60" wide too!), and teal and black poly/wool blend coatings.
Also, fancy buttons (just $0.50 each!) and buckles.  

Blue spandex, and some sequin stretch fabrics.  For skating/leggings/fancy stuff.

Ponte knit print and more black.  The print was only $3/yard!  Score!
It is the perfect weight and texture, and washed like a dream.

To be entirely fair, some of this had already been sewn up, and some of it at least has patterns traced, ready to go.  Others are for projects I have been thinking about for a while.  I had no ponte in the stash (none - can you believe it?), so I was filling a hole too.  And nearly all of this was bought with a specific project in mind.  Of course, I don't exactly have a ton of time to work on any of my planed projects for these fabrics right at the moment, but I am hoping I can sneak in at least a little bit of selfish sewing sometime in the next few months...  At least an easy knit top or something.  Until then I can think and plan ahead for my inevitable end-of-summer sewing frenzy.
