I'm distracting myself with these projects:

There is the possibility that DH and I will be moving to a new home in the next 6 months and I dread the idea of packing up all my fabric. I decided to sew it up in bunches and the first pile I came across was the white/blues/greens purchase from Fabric.com. The "slubby" knit wasn't at all what I thought it would be but it is very lightweight and only $1.99/yard. The knit is so lightweight and sheer that it almost feels like one of my sister's beloved tissue tees from J.Crew. If so, they should be super comfortable in this dreaded Memphis heat. I have some knit linings from Lucy Fabrics (before she stopped selling fabric). I was planning to make some camis to wear under my blouses. The above projects and the camis would account for 28 yards...not even a drop in the bucket. Sigh. To further complicate things, my classes start up again on Monday. I'm taking twice as many credits this semester so I can graduate in December. Hmmm, might be packing up all that fabric after all. Ladies, don't stash fabric!! I store mine in these 6-shelf sweater organizers. One was so heavy it tore away from the hanger and fell on me yesterday. It was like wrestling with a 100-pound snake! I nearly threw out my back trying to stack it up against the wall. Who says sewing isn't dangerous?
