Fabric, fabric, fabric- too much?

I haven't sewn a garment in ages. I have stacks of fabrics just begging to be made into various things from t-tops to jeans to jackets to coats- well, you get my drift. But for now I am totally into making handbags, thanks to Richard at howtomakeadesignerhandbag.com. I love turning bits and pieces of fabric and hardware into lovely useable things. I recently read something in one of Linda Ghee's books about why she loves making bags rather than clothing. She stated that after years of sewing clothing for others she realized that she could use her design talents without having to worry about fit and doing alterations. Hallelujah! I totally agree. I can unleash my talents and not have to worry about the length, crotch depth, sleeve length, etc. I can pleat, ruffle, gather, embellish, and pipe to my heart's content! Voila! It makes total sense to me. Plus, if I am unsuccessful with a new design I haven't wasted yards of fabric- maybe half a yard at best. Perfect. I now find that my fabric-shopping forays see me coming home with lots of 1-yard cuts. The ladies at the cutting table must hate to see me coming...So yesterday I spent 2 hours slowly walking the aisles of fabrics at my local fabric store and brought home several goodies. I love that I am not constrained by anything except my imagination when it comes to buying fabrics for bags. I don't have to worry about how the fabric will launder- will it shrink, etc., since most of what I make isn't meant to be laundered, just carried and loved. Now this doesn't mean that I am out of the garment-sewing biz for good. I have a whole Summer wardrobe to attend to and I have at least 10 projects for my 2 daughters to get done. What I need is TIME! Plus, I inherited an old (and I mean old) farmhouse that needs to be totally renovated before it is liveable for me. Of course all I really need is a huge sewing space (can you say '17 sewing machines'?) and a huge kitchen. For me cooking is right up there with sewing. I could push a bed into a corner, arrange a couch and chair into a non-sewing space, and I would be happy- literally. Oh yes, and a bathroom with a tall-enough-for-me shower head. Mercy, I do need time...So, meanwhile, I keep honing my purse-making skills in hopes of making a business out of them one day. I know that I want to specialize in really lovely gems of purses for weddings, proms, special events, etc. What better way to use my sewing skills?  Pictures of my latest sewing adventures soon- as soon as I find my camera under all the stacks of fabrics piled on my cutting table...
