I have no idea what 2018/19 me planned to make with this fabric – if anything. I probably had vague ideas of dresses or skirts. Another case where 2023 me has moved on, so it has now joined the donation pile and I feel much lighter for it. Freedom!

I am henceforth banning myself from buying any fabric that I do not have a specific plan for. It was once useful to have random fabric on hand for emergency child-related craft projects – but that time of my life has now passed!

And I am definitely pausing any ideas of making garments for the foreseeable future. I have way too many other projects I’m keen to get stuck into and am better without the guilt of unrealised plaid skirts looming over me.
