I was continuing my fabric buying ban and limiting myself to only buying notions. I did stay true to that. I only purchased zippers, an invisible zipper foot (I was feeling ambitious, I still haven't learned how to use it), thread, pattern marking tracing paper, and bias tape for a total of $20. But guess what I did on May 1st? I ordered more fabric! I couldn't help myself anymore and I felt I used enough of my stash fabric to justify buying more.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cb\u003EDo some refashions\u003C\/b\u003E: \u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003Efail\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E.

Have you noticed that 99% of my pictures are taken indoors? Since I'm sewing these new clothes for myself, they deserve to be showcased outside in natural light and pretty backdrops.
