My stash built itself naturally as I shopped sales and made countless blankets, quilts, clothes, etc. I've been sewing since 2000, got my own machine in 2004, and last year I went thru my stash and purged a very large box of fabric to a friend. After the purge i still have five large bins of fabric plus bolts of interfacing (I also make bags) and rolls of batting. I have enough that I tell friends to come "shop" in my stash before they hit the fabric store. It will happen naturally, trust me lol.
