So now being a lucky Iphone owner myself - whilst having my morning coffee and browsing through my list of favourite sites I came across this Threads article. The Iphone application for me! A mate of mine with a fabulous wardrobe has her fave - Touch Closet. Is this the fabric version of Touch Closet? iPod App Tracks Your Fabric Stash - Threads Posted using ShareThis
I'm not generally a hoarder - unless it comes to fabric. A couple of years ago I sent a huge amount to the Op Shop, only to acquire even more than I got rid of. Boxes and bags of fabric were stuffed into cupboards until they were bursting. As I couldn't find anything at all, I finally spent weekends going through every piece and setting up an index card system. I have a card for each piece of fabric with a swatch, length, width, where I bought it where it is in my house and what it is made of.
I doubt Fabric Stash can replace being able to feel and compare swatches, but hey, it looks fab. A lot more portable. Wonder what other sewing wonders Iphone applications has to offer....
Otherwise, still on my work trip in Kununurra and having a great time. Kununurra is, by the way, at the very north of Western Australia, near the Northern Territory border. The countryside around here is spectacular, and incidentally is where quite a bit of the Nicole Kidman / Hugh Jackman movie Australia was filmed (minus the special effect kangaroos).
Kununurra is also approximately 3206 kilometres away from my sewing machine!
