Am I the first to give in?

[wrenkins]

Yesterday I ordered some Christmas fabric to make up for gifts.     
Is anyone else gonna 'fess up or am I the only eejit?

[Vegegrow]

got some in the stash 

[wrenkins]

Oh good vege. Not just me then.
I too have some in the stash but my sis-in-law doesn't like trad. Have you any idea how far away purple is from Christmas? 

[Ploshkin]

Surely there's a law about not mentioning the C word in the first 6 months of the year.

[wrenkins]

I wasn't sure if that law applied to ingredients.
I had to start early because of her dubious taste in colours. 
Sorry purple lovers. 

[Efemera]

I've just bought this to make gifts...already have the fabrics...

[Lowena]

There should be a law about not mentioning X*** before 12th December ..... a fortnight is long enough

My tree goes up on Christmas Eve and comes down twelve days later. If my pals knew I was even thinking about it I'd be locked up. They'd think I'd lost my marlies. 
I had to start early. Purple! I'll put off making it because I can't bear looking at it. I've had a helluva job picking it.

I got an e-mail from Fabric Guild today and part of that was about Christmas fabrics. I didn't succumb as I have a box full of Christmas fabric but one or two were very tempting.

You sound like my mum  . She couldn't stand purples mauves those sort of colours. I love them together with jades and made myself this a while back. A cover for a file containing my lists of 'projects' to do sometime or other, ideas for same, UFO's and completed stuff. I love my lists great worry reducers. 

It looks much better in real life than on the photo (usually it's the other way round) I was supposed to cut away some of the chiffon/gauze type fabric but couldn't bring myself to do it as it looked alright anyway.

PS I don't do C*******s until the very last minute and always try to get out of it altogether!

That's lovely Lanty 

[wrenkins]

That is very nice Lantana. I have a few friends whose favourite colour is purple. When I was looking at fabric it kept veering towards pink. I'm not even that big a fan of pink. 
I realised many years ago that Christmas is going to happen whether I like it or not so I just go with it. It has made life much easier. Like medicine! 

[Mama likes to make]

I have started a few small bits. My nana is in a nursing home and they have a Christmas fair every year that I try and make some bits to donate for. This year I'm trying to fill a jar with hair bows which is great for using up scraps and I will probably make some bunting and some nativity scene wall hangings.

Oooh I like that Lantana, I like purple, mauves etc, I had a purple dress for my 21st birthday. A couple or years ago I saw a Christmas tree decked with black and purple, it looked wonderful.

I've been planning "Christmas in August" for a while now. Although I'm planning to sew my New Year's Eve dress in August now actually (friend's wedding) and then gifts in the late part of October. Never too early!

I love Christmas. I have a lot of people to buy for so I start in October. Tree goes up 1st December
