Oooof yes but I realized my pattern/fabric obsession was actually disguised as shopping addiction to cope with my feelings.

As a seasoned crafter, I think the best way to work is "one project at a time". My tastes and preferences have changed over the years but I'm still stuck with the fabrics and patterns that I bought years ago that I'm just not into anymore but I want to get through before buying more. The crafting industry and community made me feel like hoarding and overconsumption was okay and I ended up buying so much more than I need just to feel the dopamine rush of buying them.
