Hello. My name is Sabrina, and I am a fabric-aholic...

It all started when I was in high school.  I was a young girl with a part time job and money to burn.  My school was really close to a Hancock Fabric store and I couldn't resist the temptation.  I would shop...first with others more as more of a social thing, but before long I would find myself there alone for hours at a time.  The problem has grown over the years and I now have a room dedicated to my addiction.  I have even introduced my best friend to the dark world of fabrics and now she too is addicted.  I can't resist the temptation and I can find fabric everywhere.  I bought shirts at a department store to deconstruct for their fabric. I go to thrift stores and upcycle anything with a pleasing pattern.  I find it most difficult to avoid a funky print or houndstooth.  Nothing is off limits...I have used the sheets off my kids beds, and it's not like I dont have an addiquate stash I just can't help myself.  Admitting I have a problem is the first step to recovery...but I am not sure I want to recover ;)
