Going through the sewing stash...

Well, I have officially moved all but my sewing machines to my new offices. After at least three attempts (moves) to reduce the amount of fabric and books and patterns that I have, I still have ALOT! I am very frustrated that I got rid of alot of things but life goes on. With fabric and sewing stuff, the rule of "if you didn't use it in 6 months (or 12 months) or whatever..." Doesn't apply. I think a few things could be considered "vintage".

I do think at one point I must have gotten very forgetful. I have at least 12 quilt batts. I have only finished 3 or 4 full quilts in my lifetime. So I guess JoAnn's must had some really good sales.
One of my finds I have to post is the wonderful unfinished Jazzy jacket. This is from the group challenge that our sewing group did. OMG! what was I thinking. Hold you breath, you will need it to start laughing when you think that if I had finished this, I may have thought about wearing it!

How times have changed, I probably wouldn't even consider making this, let alone wear it. Yiks!

Just imagine that this has matching sleeves.

I did find some lovely fabric though. Oh, I love my quilt fabric. I just wish I had nothing better to do than sew....

Take care. Jan
