I stumbled upon ur blog when I looked for ideas & motivation (enforcement? :p) to start clearing my fabric stash, start sewing instead of keep buying. I like this idea of stash busting sew along. Am i too late to join now, shd i wait for next yr challenge instead?

Also, I will try to first choose fabric from my stash for other projects, that is unless the resulting garment/object would be totally hideous, only then will I be forced to purchase new fabric for the sake of said project not being a complete waste of my time...ok I think that is all I can pledge without being a total liar.Elizabeth Pritchettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186605029090457349.post-83780101131599617732014-02-16T18:18:50.846-07:002014-02-16T18:18:50.846-07:00Just realized I hadn't officially pledged so h...Just realized I hadn't officially pledged so here goes...<br />I, Jeri, of My Modern Vintage, pledge to use or gift ALL of my fabric purchased prior to 2013 and only buy fabric needed to complete projects until my pre-2013 stash is gone!Jerinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186605029090457349.post-29417518565468036732014-02-09T12:59:13.631-07:002014-02-09T12:59:13.631-07:00Oh, I realized that I forgot to put my pledge here...Oh, I realized that I forgot to put my pledge here. I had joined the facebook group a few weeks ago and commented there. So, my pledge is: I pledge to actually USE the fabric in my stash, rather than 'save' it for some unachievable project. My<br /> problem is not so much that I shop for and hoard tonnes of fabric, but <br />more that I have a modest but healthy amount and am loathe to use it. I<br /> am: afraid that I will ruin it by cutting into it or sewing something <br />with it that won't turn out properly; I can't decide on the project <br />that 'fits' the fabric; I am constantly changing my mind once I do make a<br /> decision about how to use the fabric. So, I figure this year, it will <br />be better to actually go ahead and use the fabric, throwing caution to <br />the wind, than saving it for some kind of unattainable special occasion.

I'm also doing the Stash Diet at Stitch Parade, so this is a perfect tie-in! My pledge for there is that I must use 4 fabrics from stash before I can buy 1 (except if I have absolutely no lining or whatever that will work), and 4 patterns before buying 1. So I'm going to stick with that instead of a specific number, but hopefully I'll make progress here!Beckyhttp://sew-and-so.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8186605029090457349.post-76706040310640310422014-01-05T22:23:16.030-07:002014-01-05T22:23:16.030-07:00I, sleepyerin, commit to using 20 pieces of stash ...I, sleepyerin, commit to using 20 pieces of stash fabric in 2014.
