I will try to because I imagine lots of people are interested, I just thought it would be way too difficult!<br /><br />And I'm trying to make an inventory of sort of my stash - I'm going to the extremely-rural Northland for three months (the town has a population of 438) and the closest craft shop is 1-2 hours away. So I need to plan all the stuff I take up, and buy the zips/other notions I need before hand!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-31165404923392315752014-01-18T14:52:05.898-08:002014-01-18T14:52:05.898-08:00I joined the 3 out, 1 in stashbusting challenge ov...I joined the 3 out, 1 in stashbusting challenge over on Bouquet of Buttons. <br />Which basically means I have to sew from my stash or donate 3 items before I can purchase a new piece of fabric. I love this idea, to keep me a little more motivated. It's a lot of work to sew everything I want :-) So I totally get your feeling here! It's a great idea to make a list of what fabric is for what project. makes total sense!

SO satisfying! with less than a yard of wool, I actually made Gertie's portrait blouse! I used a wool/cashmere fabric that I got in the 'ends' bin and it makes for a lovely top!

I hope you get some response as to what to do with less than a yard of bottom weights or wools. I made Erin's presidio purse out of wool remnants and was also thinking of throw pillow covers? That can really only go so far, though, and in the meantime the stack of remnants just keeps getting bigger...Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979808408348106338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-4093400799937203052014-01-16T07:12:39.776-08:002014-01-16T07:12:39.776-08:00Ooh yes I think a 'next up' list could be ...Ooh yes I think a 'next up' list could be very helpful!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455909792052564401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813031881624424068.post-72255849809162256502014-01-16T06:59:35.585-08:002014-01-16T06:59:35.585-08:00I am by no means an authority on this as I too hav...I am by no means an authority on this as I too have a stash problem (see my resolutions lol) BUT I will say that it helps me to make a list, kind of like the one you have, of what I have and what my plans are for it. I try to pick out 5 projects I want to start right away, get everything ready, and then cross them off as I get them done. It really helps me feel like I'm moving through it all and accomplishing something :)Craft Sanctuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573086983989271568noreply@blogger.com
