Why Fabric?

I'm in LOVE!

It all started about a year ago, when a girl friend said she began taking sewing lessons.  To practice, she made me a few dresses and introduced me to the wonderful world of fabric.  I couldn't stop asking her to make me things with all the designs I discovered.  She became overwhelmed, therefore, I had to learn how to sew.  I purchased my first machine, began hoarding fabric, and developed love for things hand made.  Right now I am making skirts and pillows, mostly from the fabric pictured below.  Amy Butler, Paula Prass, and Patricia Bravo are amazingly talented fabric designers whom I consider to be "celebrities."
