Stash Challenge Yardage

[Magot]

Bama cruises past the 110 yard mark! and scarily says,
I have barely made a dent in my stash.."

Good Grief Woman - where do you KEEP it all!!

[kaitlinnegan]

Wow! I am so impressed with everyone's yardage! I had hoped to do a bit more, but I didn't end up with quite as much sewing time (or motivation) as I had planned. Hopefully I can do some stash reduction projects in the new year.

Good Grief Woman - where do you KEEP it all!!

In my sewing room of course. In the closet, in Rubbermaid boxes and drawers, in a bookcase, in wire or plastic baskets on metal shelving, etc. It makes good insulation for that room. I had to move out the guest bed to make more room.

I finished a top to go with the skirt that I posted about on Friday. This is my last stash project for the challenge, the next 2 projects I have planned do not use stash fabric.

1.75 yards for a gored skirt for me. I've had this material for about a year, as I had some bad experiences making something for me. But I took my measurements, and away I went. It is some kind of a crinkly shiny polyester, and although I goofed with the hem, it is fixed, although the inside doesn't look so hot. I have the top cut out, and I may or may not put it together tomorrow.

I am so impressed that we sewed so much! Wowee everyone, way to go!

[bridesmom]

Today is my last two items. I found some Xmas fabric and made up 2 bags out of it, which are kind of like envelopes, so they could be used for books or something flat. I'm still working on fixing the rag quilt, I fixed seams most of the morning, now have thrown it into the wash for it's 2nd try, pulled it out and found 2 more holes. Da*& it anyways! That's what I get for not using the blunt tip scissors and using my sharp points! Jan 1 is a huge sale at my local fabric store and I have to work!! I will stop in on the way home and see what there is left for quilt batting. Everything is on 50-70% off! I don't imagine the batting will be more than 50%, but it's regular $19.98/m so 1/2 price is almost too good to pass up, specially since it's the Warm and White stuff. Enough jibberjabbing, I have to search for some ideas for rearranging my machines as quilting just doesn't work well with my machines set up the way they are.

[LeapFrog Libby]

This is the last for me.. I have to go tomorrow (today, now) and give DGD a sewing lesson on her new machine.. I'm taking her the first 3 lessons from Simplicity's Sewing 101 on their website.. Now, about the 17 yards.. I made the 17 flannel receiving blankets (babies) 3 or 4 are gifts, 3 more for niece to give someone and the rest are for January Circle meeting to go for our charity.. I hope we have another challenge soon.. I really made a little pathway in my sewing room, but I still need more space.. I have really cut back on acquiring more fabric, though.. I have really felt a lot better about the condition of my sewing room.. I can almost tell that mountain in there is supposed to be a day bed..LOL... And the walkway is now wide enough to put my feet side by side.. I am curious to see what our grand total all added together will be.. I didn't enter to win, I just needed the challenge to really buckle down and get some of this stuff done...Been great ! ! !

With a final push, Libby romps over the 70 yard mark.

[Mom of Six]

Congratulations Bama!!! Looks like you won! Great effort everyone! I'm up for another challenge whenever anyone wants. I would be happy to supply the prize if someone else can keep track of yardages.
