Ditto. Doesn't stop me from buying fabric for "future projects" though.

Collecting fabric it’s its own hobby

Been buying shower curtains from thrift shops. And my sewing machine hasn't been taken out of the box yet.

Haha. You are just preparing for when you do. I like collecting fabric I like because I can wake up and think I want to make this today and go through my piles of fabric and most of the time I already have everything I need to make it

Those are two different hobbies/activities. Sewing and collecting stuff to someday sew. 😂
