Tropical-weight worsted wool suiting -- and by the time I can justify the purchase of more fabric, it will be gone.
Pain considerably alleviated when I noticed that fabric.com doesn't have it in black, just olive and shades of gray.
You need an all-wool scarf, you *know* you need a scarf.

Oh dear, that's probably my very most favorite fabric to sew, and one woolen that can comfortably be worn in this part of the country.
Yes! you need a scarf, you know you do.

Plus, it's July---one of the best-deal, two per-year fabric sale months. January and July: Fabrics and white sale items (sheets, towels, etc.) Excuse me while I step over here and remove my horns and tail... Cea
Chortle, chortle. If it takes you that long to justify buying more fabric, you can't "really" justify buying more fabric!!!!!
Coincidentally, I have on my work table right now two lengths of tropic weight wool worsted, ready to be made into two sets of vest+skirt - what passes for winter clothing here in the Sticky South. However, there they sit, under a dropcloth, because "Yippee", the painter finally arrived to paint my upstairs ceilings where they got water stained during Katrina. Naturally, I decided that if the rooms had to be torn apart to do the ceilings, we might as well have the walls done at the same time. So, no more sewing for a while, just moving small items of furniture and directing the moving of larger pieces.

I was wondering about that! I'm in Phoenix for 2 weeks, or I'd def be shopping.
WooHoo!! forgot about that last night until I went to pay for the fabric that I bought...lol. Guess I should scoot out and get some more, huh??

WHAT, you never mailed fabric home from out of town? I have to do that all the time.

Wellllllllll..... okay, yes I have!
No no no. If you mail it home you have to wait to pet it and love on it. What you do is mail home the dirty laundry that should be in the suitcase. Then there's room for your fabric in there. ;)
heh heh heh

But if you mail yourself the fabric, it would be like getting another "present" after you got home.

Regardless of whether I mail the dirties or the fabric, I'm going to try to do a little shopping tomorrow while I'm out getting my tattoo redone. I finally took the plunge yesterday and took my sister to work and started driving in Phoenix again. I haven't driven the last few times I came out here, but now that I'm mobile, watch out local fabric outlets!!
