I know!!!  I had 12 (TWELVE!!!) emails offering fabric or pattern sales this morning.

What to do?   What to do???   :o
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Oh @Acorn  can we help you - this is so sad. Keep strong, it's only a small slip.

Not only has ClothSpot sent me a Christmas Card, they included a £10 voucher to spend in the sale! Have I bought too much fabric from them this year? It would be rude not to use it wouldn't it.
Just about to press send on my basket.
A day without sewing is a day wasted.

Charlie Girl - breathe - it's tempting but noooooooo. Walk away Jan, I'm using the visualisation techniques: the credit card is overheated, the password has been changed - noooo  - get that DBP out of my sight!

I've not opened any emails today so it will probably be best not to for a few days.  I'm not actually tempted though as I have too much fabric and too many patterns as it is.

However, I'm going to go buy the CoverPro 1000CPX later this afternoon.  It's a planned purchase that I thought I would have to buy online but as it turns out the local dealer has them for the same price.  I probably won't get the bonus accessories however I'll also not have to pay shipping which is pretty high.

“Tissus de Reve, Les Coupons de St.Pierre”

@Catllar  Are these fabric stores in France? I wonder if they sell online, too? I am always looking for new fabric stores!

Now don't blame me @Sewbee on your own credit card be it. Yes they are. Coupons de st.Pierre has the peculiarity of selling in 3 metre lengths only. Tissues de reve have some lovely stuff too.

Ooh! Lovely! Are their prices pretty good? I must look them up and see if they both have a website.

One place in Germany I like is http://myfabrics.co.uk. Their website is in English and there are some lovely fabrics - and lots of them.

OMG! I can’t believe the great prices at Tissus de Reve! Haven’t got round to the other site yet! Holy cow!

Why is fabric so expensive in the U.K., I wonder!

I buy from both sites - tissue de reve have great quality. I bought some lovely navy striped white jersey from them and some gorgeous black figured jersey last year.
