stash control
Trying to downsize the area my stash takes up..I have found three walking "feet", one of two Big Foot free motion darning foot that I know I own..enough brand new machine needles to sew a year, multiple thimbles-including jelly thimbles, seam rippers, 4 rolls blue paint tape....And thread...Lots and Lots of new spools of thread... i have not started into the fabric yet! Going to be a long nonsewing day tomorrow.

The best way to downsize the space your stash takes up is to make scrappy quilts. I recently finished a top and figured out that it used 9 yards of material. Doesn't even look like it put a dent in my stash. Almost all of my fabric is in a 6' tall (by 3' wide) cabinet. I really want to go on a spring shop hop, but will most likely not go, as I have plenty of fabric.
