I do not usually read heaps of sewing/craft blogs because they often feature projects or items that I am simply do not interest me.
However, I stumbled across this idea here and seemed almost too good to be true. Basically, I can sew or make whatever I like as long as at least 50% comes from my stash. I had pretty well intended to do this but had not thought of articulating my ideals quite so eloquently. I love sewing and am working towards decluttering more stuff so this challenge will definitely help.
My personal plan is to post each and every Sunday about what I have done in the preceding week which fits the challenge. This will help to keep me accountable and will also be an interesting future record of just what sewing I achieved in 2015.
To see what I did last week see my previous post.
Thanks to the lovely Leasa who decided to run with this germ of an idea and also StitchnSewCreates for linking to the original. Please check out these blogs if you are interested in this project.
Then when the pieces are too small for much else there is always the ongoing patchwork!
I know that my fabric stash is not huge compared to what some people have but it is getting to the stage of frustrating me because I have so many plans/ideas for a lot of the pieces and I simply haven’t got around to doing it. 2015 is the year.
How cool ! I came across your blog and I am so excited. I just created a blog, today ! The sewing your stash is right up my alley.
Great minds think alike.
Welcome Helen! I definitely need to check out your blog. Thanks for dropping by. I look forward to seeing what you make from your stash.
Thank you Fairy ! This is exciting !
When your a creative type these things just creep up on us don’t they!
They sure do. 🙂
I like this idea a lot! I could consider joining the challenge… 🙂
The more, the merrier I suspect. I would love to see what you would create. 🙂
I had the same idea and yesterday made two new pillowcases from my stash, the old ones are getting shabby.
It is great to be able to replace practical items using fabric that is already on hand. Well done!
