Start making my own clothes again

I am generally moving away from pre-fab patterns—purged a bunch last year, but I did snag several Vintage Vogue patterns on deep discount the other day. I also got a couple of pattern drafting books.

I have pulled a bunch of fabric out of storage and stacked it neatly on a shelf where I can see it and match it with appropriate patterns. Although this sounds kind of simplistic, one of the issues I am always coming up against is not being able to remember what I have. Now I can scan the inventory and choose the best available fabric instead of dithering about whether there’s a better material for a specific project lurking in a box somewhere.
