The other day I was in my sewing room pondering the mess it had become. In just over a year of getting back to sewing, I have amassed a stash that is threatening to take over my workspace. So when I read about the Stashbusting Sew Along, I knew I had to sign up.
My stash is ridiculous. I've been to one too many Jomar fabric freakout sales, and I live a short bus ride away from Gaffney (awesome) fabrics. I've got stuff still in it's bags! Pics will be forthcoming once I locate the camera, provided my son hasn't chucked it in the pet water dish (again).
I'm hoping to kill two birds with one stone here, because I had another dumbass "closet full of clothes and nothing to wear" moment last night when preparing to go out. I'm tired of reaching for a t-shirt because I have no nice blouses. There are so many gaping holes in my wardrobe it isn't funny. If I can fill my clothes gaps and stash bust at the same time, that would be excellent.
I'm shooting for one project a month. I think I can pull that off. I'd rather set the bar low and surprise myself, then set a sky-high goal and kick myself for not meeting it.
First up: a mini t-shirt quilt for my son. I'm about halfway through the piecing. His birthday is the 26th of this month, so that's my deadline. I'd better get sewing!
Yea!! Thanks for joining in!
