I haven't sewn anything yet this year but plans are brewing and I have a whole weekend ahead of me. It's so exciting. And to think it started with Instagram! Leasa of Project Leasa posted a photo and said it was gonna be the year of sewing all the fabric she'd been saving for something special, and used the hashtag #sewmystash2015 and got an amazing response. It balooned. She blogged about it, and every 3 weeks or so she has posted a challenge. No rules except the ones you set for yourself, lots of quilty inspiration, and a really amazing group of sewists gathering to cheer each other along! There's even a widget, and a list of blogs... It's all very exciting.
Our first task was to post publicly a picture of our fabric stash, and here it is:5 32 qt bins, 3 15 qt bins, and 2 of those dresser drawers. There's also a bigger a bigger bin full of WIP/UFOs, and these bins with projects in progress:
And the next task is not to catalog or sort or otherwise organize, but to MAKE SOMETHING. Y'all, I can get behind that one. I have a rainy weekend and no on-calls on the horizon, so after spin class tonight I am going to cut some projects out and get to it. Maybe even something with hearts.
Check out Leasa, and if you Instagram, follow that hashtag! You'll be inspired.
I wasn't aware of this one--I'll have to check it out on instagram for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I sewed down a lot of stash in the last few years, but there is still plenty to work with. Love that next step!
