Sew, Mama, Sew - "Stash Talk"
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
So, I have posted in forever. I have lots of projects that I need to write about! Here is a blog questionnaire I took from Sew, Mama, Sew... My stash is currently packed away in boxes because we just moved! Hopefully this weekend I'll get back up & running. I will now have a whole room for crafting & sewing & the dining room table will be just that, a dining room table for eating only!
- What do you usually sew? baby clothes & accesories
- When you shop for fabric, what size cuts do you usually buy? 1 yard
- Do you buy on impulse or do you go out looking for something you need? impulse! This causes my stash to grow to dangerous levels!
- Are you a pre-washer? I pre-wash my fabric as soon as I get it home from the store. I know when I get inspired to start a project I am not patient enough to wait & wash it.
- Do you iron it? Yep.
- How do you sort it? What do you mean by sort it?...
- Do you have any special folding techniques? I fold it until it fits in whatever box/bin/basket I need to store it in at the time.
- How do you store your fabric? Mostly in bins and boxes
- What tips do you have for building up a well-rounded stash? Always buy a little extra of your favorites when you're out shopping. Don't forget to buy extra pellon, felt, wool, minky, etc.
- When do you say enough is enough? When you can't fit anymore in your house, or your husband catches on that you're no longer "saving him money" by sewing.
- What are some of your favorite stash-busting projects? Applique!
