Thank you for all the suggestions. I took the old favourites and added some new ones as well. We'll forego SWAKOP in favour of seasonal 6PACs for example. Let's get busy, plan ahead and look forward to 2020.

Manuela - those look like so much fun, and I can see many that I find inspiring! The ideas are flowing already :loveit:

I have a question about January: is "animal print" specifically printed fabric that looks like animal skin (lepoard, zebra, snakeskin, etc) or could it also be a print that has animal motifs (cats, dogs, cows, etc)?

Cats, dogs, cows, butterflies etc. would be totally fine too... @indigotiger

Ooh - that's just opened it up for me @Manuela - thank you.

Thanks so much for doing this - that's a great list.  Nice and flexible, and interesting too.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I finally get my sewing room in 2020 and am sure I can enter at least one contest.  I have my eye on florals.

Thanks @Manuela it's helpful to be able to print the list. I'll try to enter more this year & can already see where some of my stash will fit.

Ooh I hadn't thought of butterflies for animal print. I can make a top from stash with some pink butterfly jersey, with solid pink sleeves.

Hope this spurs me on. After all my Christmas makes I've done virtually zero sewing in weeks. My hut is so cold I cannot face it  :(

Just looking through next years list, what great ideas.
Don't thing I'll be doing the pink month, can't stand pink! Oh but hang on, hmm, maybe...  :P 0_0
I'm off to search through my stash to see if I've got any animals hiding in there.

Thanks for organizing @Manuela

@Manuela In July - can Think Pink be a multi-coloured fabric with pink in it or does it have to be a solid colour? Asking cos I'm browsing  :)

@snoozi soozi, pink has many shades, they should be somewhat dominant in your fabric. Multi-coloured fabric is fine, as long as pink is the dominating fabric.
We have one colour each year, in 2019 it was blue, in 2018 it was white...
