Stashbusting challenge 2016!

Don't we all have a little too much of stashed fabric at home, that we just can't seem to sew something of? Maybe they're too pretty, maybe you just like to pet it, either way it's still there, mocking you on the shelf. So, to reduce my stash, and get space for new fabrics that I love and WILL use, I have decided to join the "Sew our stash" challenge!

I am going to follow these rules for the stash busting challenge:

  1. Use fabrics only from stash - Only buy if needed to finish a garment.
  2. Only use patterns I have, or that are free.
  3. Aim for wearable muslin (Don't have enough fabric for both a muslin and the finished garment.)
  4. Follow my sewing plan! First, sew the garments on my plan, and then sew other things.
  5. Be creative! Go outside my comfort zone, patch different fabrics, colors and materials.
  6. And the most important of them all, wear the garments I have sown. They won't do any good just hanging in the closet.

These are my rules, guidelines etc, what you wanna call them. I'll follow these as closely as I can, and hopefully I'll reduce my stash, to at least half (in my dreams though :P )
