I resumed sewing around the same time as my sister decided to start decluttering. I've inherited her stash to do what I want with and store what I don't want for her for later.
I start an overlocker (serger) course this weekend (watch this space) and needed to collect the required supplies for the class - various knits & other fabric samples. Rather than purchasing new bits or cutting into fabric earmarked for garments, I hit my stash, and went down to the garage where a lot of the stored stuff is. I found everything I needed... and much more.
I even found a spacebag that was my own stash from years and years ago, that I didn't realise I still had.
Amongst my own stuff and my sisters was:
- awesome border prints;
- some great linen including some fantastic stretchy black linen-y stuff;
- a good sized piece of W Bill fabric that I think will make an AWESOME coat or jacket;
- stacks of lace;
- a glue gun! (I'll be stunning with my love glue gunning!)
- a couple of pieces of jewelry belonging to my sister, in her bead box, that I'm sure she'll be delighted to have back. I got out my Tiffany polish creme and spruced up her bracelet - can't wait to give it to her;
- heaps of cool stuff.
So I sorted out my workshop and got everything a little bit more organised.
Maybe now it's time to do some sewing.
