My stash continues to grow at an alarming rate. I need to sew more and buy less! But they gave me a coupon. Doesn’t that make it okay?
I bought a few wovens which I normally don’t do. I also bought some fun suitings.
Cotton Voile in a fun paisley teal. I may use this to make a faux CAbi skirt like this one. 
A cotton lawn. Another border print. I’m very into spring right now. These are not normally colors I would wear. 
A pretty blue and green rayon woven shirting.
I can never resist a good charcoal gray knit. I bought the jersey and the 1 x 1 rib knit that matches it. 
I must really be into spring because I never wear pink. Well, except today because I’m wearing pink and I can imagine this wool suiting as an awesome pencil skirt. All the wool suitings are on sale right now. I also bought this black and cream houndstooth. 
I couldn’t resist this raw silk suiting. It’s also a black and cream weave. 
This was my most expensive purchase. It’s an animal print nylon for a new swimsuit. I am going out of the state and to nice warm places several times this summer so Momma needs a new, crazy-print swimsuit! Where do you guys find good swimsuit lining material? I have hooks and all the notions, just very little lining fabric.

Of course, a coupon makes it okay! It's especially okay when you use it for such pretty fabric. Happy sewing!
If it sits in your stash a while and then you finally make something it is essentially free, right?
From brick and mortar, I like the swimsuit lining from JoAnns - it's beefy so nothing shows that shouldn't show. I'm not sure where to buy some good lining online, though.
I actually bought a few yards from a brick & mortar store out of Kansas that I was refereed to Anne St. Clair, who owns a store called 'Needle Nook Fabrics'.

You can email her, she'll ship no problem, or call her if you want! She is really nice & easy, will answer all your questions too. Her lining was much better than JoAnn's I thought.
If you ever come to Florida, please let me know.
Nice stash ;) I tend to buy fabric in large bunches when I have no time to sew - it helps me stay connected with my hobby!
Sew Sassy has good swimwear elastic and lining.
Annes Fabrics in Hamilton, Canada has great swimsuit notions and lining. And you're not seeing a pic of my stash....
