Cut another white top out!  BurdaStyle Model 126 02/2013 BurdaStyle126 02/2013

I've cut it from two diagonal remnants which have been in the stash forever, so I've had to be a bit creative.

Not sure how to assess how much fabric I'm using, any suggestions?  I sometimes buy fabric as remnants, for unknown future projects, and they are often weirdly shaped.

Another 3.5 mtrs de-stashed, this is rounded up, as I may not be able to use the off cuts for anything but craft projects

I like that jacket. I have been meaning to buy that pattern for ages now - perhaps now is the time!

I bought that pattern when I decided to branch out into dressmaking. Din happen but every time I see either pattern or jacket this  :loveit: happens. I even have the fabrics chosen and in my ebay basket. :S
Lovely.  :loveit:

@wrenkins and @Greybird, go for it. It looks a bit daunting when you see all the pieces, but just follow the instructions.

I don't think i've posted here, but I definitely need to sew up the stash.  No clue how much I've got, but I just need to either sew it up, or move it on to its next home.  I hope to sew up 2 yards for every yard I bring in.  I've got 2 pairs of pants in the works that should eat up 3+ yards in the next day or so.

Poppins Return bag, and it's made from stash except for a few metres of trimming.  Even the little charms on the zipper came from my stash.

I reckon about 4 metres were used up in total - includes the toile I made.

This is a genuine stash bust, a Maria Denmark Yasmin Yoke skirt. I have made about 4 or 5 of these to date. This is a remnant left over from a black jacket.  The fabric is maybe a cotton mix with a horizontal rib. You can't see the detail in the photo. I lined it with some black knit lining from stash as well. There wasn't enough to make a complete waistband facing so the back is a cotton print.
A day without sewing is a day wasted.

Another nightshirt finished. The pattern is Burda 8271, courtesy of GreyBird.  This is the third I've made from this pattern, and I really like it.

Unfortunately, this one was made from stash, and I had to compromise on the length, which as I've now found, is too short.  It's a lovely cotton lawn, with a silver thread running through it, but I now need to make some shorts/pyjamas to go with it...

Fabric was so tight, I had to join two pieces to get the sleeves out...

I reckon I used less than 2mtrs.  I should have measured before cutting out.

Another 2 meters used, the 90s dress from Ellie and Mac in a slinky ITY knit which feels lovely to wear.

A slightly wonky Roman blind, another 3m out of the way.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

With any sort of blind it's always the window that's wonky, never the blind.   ;)

Although actually neither looks wonky to me - very nice.   :)
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I don't think it's wonky either. I much prefer blinds done in soft folds rather than the sharply pleated commercial kind. A lot depends on the number of cords and the depth of the folds. Looks lovely.
