I Made It!

I made it through the Stashbuster's Challenge. And I still have not bought any fabric. I made 10 items and used 11.25 yards of fabric.

This is one of the tote bags I made. The patchwork pattern is from the book by Cindy Taylor Oates, Easy to Make Totes with Zippers. The handles and the inside are my own design.









This is another tote bag I made. This one is lined with fusible fleece. I don't know why I was hesitate to use it, but I thought I would give it a try . . . and I like it!









Participating in this challenge was a lot of fun and also a learning experience. I am going to continue to "bust my stash" and see how much fabric I can use before I breakdown and buy some.

I will keep you posted as to how things go.

Completed Projects

I have completed 3 projects while participating in the Stashbusters challenge hosted by The Adventures of Wondermommy.

I have used a total of 7 yards from my stash. Of course, that doesn't even make a dent in all the fabric I have, but it's a start!

Pajama Bottoms - I made them a little big, but that's okay, I was thinking comfort.











Top - next time I will use a softer fabric. This fabric was a little crisp and the gathers puff out.



Tote Bag - My own design.
Inside the tote bag - pockets and a lanyard.

I Am So Excited!

I am so excited! I joined The Adventures of Wonder Mommy Stash Busters. No buying fabric between February 1 - April 1. All projects must be made with fabric that is already in our stash. I have already completed a pair of pajama bottoms and a top. And I can't wait to start my next project. I will be posting pictures soon.
