Sew many fabrics....what's a gal to do!
Ok, as most of you know, I have 2 vintage travel trailers....one of which is in the midst of a "face lift"....
In the mean time I am "itchin to get stitchin" some more fun stuff for my trailers now that I have all my Christmas sewing behind me.
My dilemma is which fabric do I buy or do I buy all 3?
Although I have a few projects in mind, lamp shade & pillow covers and maybe even a pair of silly jammies, my brain is running on empty for ideas right now...aacckk! 
Any suggestions for other ideas that I may have over looked? Also do you know of any other sites that carry this kind of fabric?
Take a peek into my 'graciesvictorianrose' blog listed below to see the fabrics.....

well, I could not resist the temptation...so I went ahead and bought all 3 fabrics and some cool "Martini motif" fabric for an Apron swap that I am in.
I LUV the internet....shop till i drop & never left the house! lol!
Now to sit out front by the mailbox and wait till my fabric arrives.... wahoooo!

Grace you are so me - I just the other day purchase 4 yards of a wonderful Gnome fabric - did that at 2 am while on goat birthing watch. As I sat in my long johns and my hair in tangles I was able to find just the right fabric for who know's what but I can not wait till it arrives.. Even though I will have more fabric then a person could possible use in a life time I am going on the rule "The one who dies with the most WINS"!!!
Great to see another Grace having the same joy and I do - I will have to stop in to you blog and spy your goodies...

Ha! My mom came up today and she said she is going to quit opening my mail box. lol! She could hardly carry it all! ha! I heard a saying once that said put your different projects in boxes and write a family members name on it or friends name on it and when you die people will think ~ well bless her heart, look at all she was going to do for people~ lol...

I like that Nancy - good cover for having an out of control stash!!
Grace I loved all 3 of those fabrics, I don't blame you a bit for getting some of each. I am sort of partial to the one with the VW on it - we have a poptop VW camper, although not that old, and my folks always had Volkswagons so I have a soft spot for them. Be sure to post pictures as you get stuff done!!

I vote for #3 first (love the extra retro feel) and #2 second. More fun and cheery. Thanks for asking our opinion. Jamie
