Stash Woes
Wednesday, July 20, 2005
Do you ever just look at your stash and think "How did I get all this *awful* fabric???" But then, when you start going through it, you don't want to get rid of any of it?
"Well, I could use this nasty blue polyester for lining.""That one matches this one--I bought it to make a spring hoodie."
"That's a nice piece of linen. It's white pants-weight, and I don't wear white pants, but it's linen!!!"
The trouble is that I've sort of promised myself not to buy any fabric for a while, and I don't have anything "in-stash" to make my next "Pink" top. I'm very frustrated. What I *should do* is pick a few of the stash fabrics and design a garment around them.
And throw out all of the blue polyester.
Don't trash the nasty blue polyester. Use it for sewing experiments. That way you won't feel bad about trashing the results.
By the way I love the treadles and the dolls.
