Here are some general guidelines:
* No fabric purchases "just for your stash" from Jan 1 until U.S. Black Friday (11/24/17).
* When you start a new project, shop your stash first. If you don't have anything that will work, then feel free to make a purchase. Hopefully at least some of the fabric for every new project will come from your existing stash.
As the year progresses, post your updates here. We can support and encourage each other, post tips on how you use your stash, and any planned new projects where you shopped your stash!
Let us know about falling off the wagon, everyone enjoys a great excuse to purchase fabric.
Pictures are always wonderful!
As stated these are just guidelines, there are no Moratorium police! Just start using all that gorgeous fabric in your stash, after all, that's what you bought it for!
I rather like this idea, might force me to use my stash which is way bigger than I should admit and do some projects. It seems I get discouraged going thru the stash when I start a project, much easier to just go get what I want. Needless to say, that has to stop now. First on my list will be something with stripes. Major hate stripes and tend to put any of that material to the back of the stash. Here I go, starting this weekend. Good luck to all of you out there attempting too!!. Happy New Year!
