It will also clear out some space in your sewing area and you may discover treasures you forgot you had. The rules are simple: No new fabric purchases until November 2012. You can buy: batting backing and/or binding fabric - if NOTHING in you stash will work. (Consider trading with a friend) thread and notions fabric purchased on a plan (example - block of the month) Some can do variations such as only 3 months, or a GREAT sale. Anyone can join. Come on and clear out some of that stash and make room for great new fabrics next year. |
Good luck, everyone! I'm glad I don't have very much fabric because it would be difficult to not purchase more.
|
I'm in as well. I think setting goals will help me complete projects I already have on my list of things to do. I have enough fabric to get started - except the backings- which I seldom buy until the top is complete.

I am trying again this year! After my temporary insane period in December when I bought bolts of fabric from Joann's sale, I do not need to even look at fabric. So I am in!
|
I am only buying the 4 B's...backing, batting, background, border. I may also buy some fabric if I need 1 yard or less to go with stash fabrics to finish a project. I have been using this method for over a year now.
|
Already started this! My husband and I painted my studio after Christmas and in the rearranging I found fabric I forgot I had! And I had a scrap bin that I could not get the lid on! So, Not only do I have to use my stash, I have to use my scraps as well! But I know I will by batting and backing fabric!
|
I'm in but by force LOL .. my hubby already has me on this plan...getting used to it
|
my first goal is to organize my sewing room, so I can SEE what I have. I'm halfway there, I'm going to try to finish the fabric today, just having it all out on the table, to fold it onto the cards, tells me I will have to do this at 2 years to get it down to a manageable quantity lol, will post pics tonight after I finish
|
I'M IN!!!
I just made a list of my fabrics and projects. Way too many! This time I think I'm really ready for this challenge cause I'm not that excited about the new fabric I see but I am excited about all the projects on my list. |
wonderful suggestion. i will try too.
