Just about to cut it out....Marcy Tilton 9244 in jacquard jersey

[b15erk]

Made some progress.  Cut out Style 4824 and StyleArc Barb.  Both of these are a compromise, the first choice for the blouse was a gorgeous grey and black, but there just wasn't enough fabric.  The purple one I've used is, slippery, frays like the devil, and is going to be a bugger to sew. 

The trousers I've made before, but left the pattern at home.  So, I'm working on a minimally adjusted pattern, although my stretch denim fabric is very forgiving.

My back is now done in (cutting out table is a bit low), so taking a break.

I will be doing a shirt from B4486, haven't decided on the material, leaning towards the Beige Linen. Most of these I got on the Discontinued shelf for $3/yrd.

[UttaRetch]

I'd go for the beige linen too simply because I can't be doing with stripe matching.

Ottobre t-shirt done, very happy with it, l lowered the neck further than the pattern, i think the diagram is not quite true. I sewed it all on the overlocker and did the hems with a twin needle; I ended up doing the neck band three times as I wasn't happy with it, then topstitched it. I like the fabric and i like the pattern, though I'll probably do a fba next time for a better fit.

Can everyone put a nice big bold metre count when they finish a piece so it's easier for me to spot amongst the thread? I'm doing stats... Did you hear that stat lovers?!

I'm not joining in, no stash to bust, but I do love some good stats

I love stats too.  Does that mean we are being judged on how much fabric we put to good use?

[Goth Gardiner]

1.5m.  This is darker than in the photo.  It is what I can only describe as brushed silk in a deep reddish brown.   Bought I Beijing 23 years ago with the intention of making an interview dress.

I have thread in my thread stash that matches it too.

Have cut it out from a self drafted cowl neck-top pattern.

[Goth Gardiner]

Used ... 1.5m. 

Black crinkle silk  bought from Truro Fabrics two years ago with the intention of using it as a first version of a bridesmaids dress before I made myself the final version.

Lining from same source and time.  Have thread and interfacing in the stash.

Have cut for a below knee length quite full skirt with a elasticated waist which I hope to get finished before going on holiday next week.

So here are my cut out pieces ready for a girls dress.  Hardly a stash buster as only cut out the bodice but it is a start.

Not necessarily, I just love stats 

But as it's up for member vote, some members might be more impressed with how many metres you've got through, whereas others might cast their vote based on a fantastic make! It's all up for interpretation.

[BrendaP]

Wahoo our first stashbust! How does it feel?

How many metres did you stashbust with that? I'm thinking of keeping a tally to share at the end of the sewalong.

I didn't actually measure it before I started, but measuring the FO it would have been 1.75m, or thereabouts and 60"/150cm wide..  I tried to edit the original post but none of the formatting buttons came onto the screen.
