@TartanPaint just under the Sewing Place banner at the top of the page on the right hand side there is a Support the Sewing Place link. It's by no means compulsory but it would be much appreciated.

@wrenkins

Can I just give you the tenner up front and that makes me a subscriber? :)

Yes.
If you follow that link you'll find a big blue button that'll take you into the back of the wardrobe. Go in there.  :)

 :angel:

So much for lurking lol. I take it four buttons are good?

Support? It's only a tenner.
I spend more than that making my office smell nice but if it helps then that's awesome. I'll probably have a badge too. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

@Tamnymore

10 of those big boxes that slot into shelving units yes. The rest is in storage....for now.

So now then; how big is your stash? :)

No indeed one would never reveal one's weight though I fear it is proportional to the size of the stash although there's a bit less of me since the lockdown diet!
On the stash - well I have three large (but not, alas, mothproof) seagrass trunks, another cupboard and a couple of plastic boxes. I have been thinning out the stash and some will go to schools and other bits to charity shops when it is practicable. @TartanPaint some of the folks here are very disciplined and only buy what they need. Others, me included , suffer from a condition you may have heard of called SABLE (stash accummulation beyond life expectancy).  :D

@Tamnymore

I have an Engineers brain and I'm much more pragmatic about it. Like one of my old teachers used to say:

"Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"

I know there are probably exceptions that prove the rule but I've found when it comes to camera equipment, woodworking tools, and sewing stuff (and a few other things I wont mention on here) that the above sentiment, applied liberally, works very well for me. A big stash is just...........forward planning and makes perfect sense from a project management and resourcing standpoint.

@TartanPaint now I feel better. My stash habit was just forward planning after all!
