This is a remnant of brown velour. Only 1m so took a bit of fiddling to make it work. FBA with dart on the sides. Shortened it slightly and cut the front neck facing lengthways.  It does help stabilise it.  The ruching on the neck doesn't show up too well but makes a bit of interest.
 
1m from stash. Have to start somewhere!

TnT entry No 2
Another t-shirt from the same pattern but omitting the ruching.  Neckline raised slightly and band of contrast around the neck.
37.5" of multi-striped  jersey. Slightly on the small side, but just enough with a bit of ingenuity.  Shorter than pattern again  but FBA without a dart, the jersey is quite accommodating.  Had to piece both sleeves  but the stripes easy to match up down the outsides. 2.5" off another length of jersey to make the neckband  =40"  = 1m

2m gone from stash

Tried to put them both in one post, but inserting the second picture overwrote the first one so there were two the same.  Going off technology.

When you've added one attachment you must click on 'more attachments' to add another one.  If you just click on 'browse' again it will overwrite the first one.

Thank you muchly.

Fell at the last hurdle.  Given up at 11.30pm, just got to lock up etc and off to bed.  Still have centre back hem to finish and sew down lining. I have 4 buttons covered, not sewn on and no buttonholes.  We had visitors again on Saturday afternoon - we never have visitors!  Anyhow, it has achieved its objective, another 5m out of stash (top fabric, underlining and lining)  and (almost) my jacket done.  Well done everyone.
And this is where I got to

I don't really have a "stash" as such in that I don't tend to buy fabric pre-emptively, I just get it for immediate purposes. I do have a box of off-cuts left over from previous things though. And I'd been planning for ages to make a tailor's ham and sleeve roll with some leftovers, but I hadn't got round to it. So thanks to this challenge for bumping me into actually getting around to doing it last night!



De-stashed length (drumroll please)...

...12". 

[toileandtrouble]

But jolly useful!

I tried this in Google translate but I'm afraid it doesn't make sense in any language!
Great use of leftovers.

Finally got round to putting batteries in camera so here is entry 5. We have been invited to another family wedding in June so thought I would get ahead and make a dress. The fabric is about 6 years old and left over from a skirt I wore to the last family wedding I went to. Hope nobody remembers the fabric. It is really curtaining fabric but who cares, it will probably only be worn the once. Just hoping the venue doesn't have the curtains 
It is lined, so with the little bag/brooches, fabric used was 3 3/4 metres.

Amended, sorry forgot to put total fabric used to date = 9 3/4
I have also made another dress for the Diva but still waiting for snaps to arrive. Can I submit without?

That's embroidered isn't it? I got a length on a coppery gold background, just waiting to be bold enough to wear it, but I love it. It does need an 'event'.   The pink is pretty.

[Lachica]

@sewmuchmore that is beautiful. I like the embellishments on the bag too.

I managed to make 2 pairs of leggings within the time limit, no photos though. This thread spurred my sewing along, Can we carry on after the contest, or merge it with the UFOs?

There will be a sewalong after the voting is finished for this contest

Remember, today is the last day to get your entries and pictures up. I’ll open the voting thread tomorrow 

[toileandtrouble]

Sorry Manuela, just to point out that my 3rd entry can't go in the voting, because i didn't finish it until the day after. 
Hope you are enjoying your break.
