  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of a Fabric Stash I have lived with a fabric stash for many years now.   Most of my sewing friends also have fabric stashes, some larger than others.   I have known a few people who do not have one.   They buy just enough fabric for one project and do not buy anymore until they finish that project and begin a new one.   My mind does not operate in that slow, methodical way.   When I am purchasing fabric for one project, my mind jumps ahead and reminds me that another piece of fabric that is just within reach would look really nice for another project I could do later.    It also reminds me that the fabric probably won’t be available if I return in a few weeks after I finish the current project.   If I really like the fabric, I should purchase it now.   Besides, it is on sale now!   So it goes.   The stash gets larger and larger.   There are some really good reasons to have a stash.   The closest fabric store is about 25 – 30 miles from my house.
