Ok, this summer I lost my sew mojo! My sewing machine misses me, this might be the longest it has gone without use. All projects have come to a halt and are exactly where I left them three weeks ago (yep, laid out on the floor). I have managed to restock some low volume fabrics and order a couple books. Here is the haul ...
At the beginning of the year, I committed myself to a fabric de-stash/diet. Over the past 7 months, I have been super good about not purchasing fabrics and using up things I already own, while minimizing my scraps. This basket of goodies was the biggest splurge this year! I love them all and cannot wait to start cutting into all of them! Just after I finish up all my WIPs! I still have 17 to go by the end of summer. Better find some energy!
Sew long for now,
Patch & Chels
Hmm, a fabric diet...I think that is what I need to do (after having looked through some of my storage boxes and realising I had quite a few combos put aside that are waiting to be made into projects)!
ReplyDeleteI am really tempted by the beautiful low volume bundles I keep seeing. Good luck finding your sewjo and energy. :)
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are gorgeous! Do you have a plan for them? I too have been trying only to buy fabric to complete a specific project, not just to add to my stash. I would have expected a more noticeable decline in my stash by now! Oh well!!
ReplyDeleteLove the new stash addition. I really need to stock up on some low volumes soon. I particularly like the one with the violins and snails.
ReplyDeleteSo if I continue to be good on my fabric diet, after New Year I can splurge on lovely fabrics like these too?
ReplyDeleteLove all of these low volumes! Do you know what the alphabet one is in the third photo? It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI really need to go on a fabric diet but it's so hard :( at the very least I need to work on some super scrappy projects to get rid of my scraps!
Love that bundle!!! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThose low volumes are gorgeous! Hope your sewing mojo returns soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm experiencing the same halt in production this summer but I know that once it starts to get colder again I'll be right back at my sewing machine ready to go!
ReplyDeleteLove those low volumes together. Wouldn't they be pretty in a quilt all by themselves!
Good luck on the WIPs!!! I've been trying so hard and I am only slowly making a dent. I am beginning to believe that this will be a "one summer to the next summer" de-WIP!!
