fabric hussy

Today, I'll be working at the quilt shop. I said that I was hoping that the fabric fairy might have brought something new; should there be no new fabric I'll just flirt with what we already have. In response to this a  friend called me 'fabric hussy' and I couldn't help but feel flattered! Although the regular 'hussy' definition is not exactly a compliment. Fabric Hussy, however, is spot on! When it comes to fabric I AM shameless!

hus·sy (hz, hs)



n. pl. hus·sies


1. A woman considered brazen or immoral.


2. A saucy or impudent girl.


ALSO:


hussy [ˈhʌsɪ -zɪ]


n pl -sies


1. a shameless or promiscuous woman


2. Dialect a folder for needles, thread, etc.



I think it's interesting that hussy can be a folder for needles or thread. That definitely is in the right ball park, no?
