Stashwatch

For 2023, I’m still trying to avoid acquiring more fabric, and sewing my stash. I’ve got a few Works in Progress (in bold below) that I don’t realistically think I will finish, so I need to work out if I can rework them in some way, or somehow salvage the fabric. I’ve made a big dent in the stash recently by donating a load to a local Refugees Sewing project, which has taken a lot of my hoarding guilt away, hooray!

In the spirit of internet accountability, this does not include my dance costume stash. That’s a much smaller stash, but I’ve been known to dip into it for dressmaking purposes, so it’s not wholly unrelated!
