The Stash

LAST UPDATED JANUARY 2022

First posted July 20, 2021. I've decided I need a dedicated post to try and keep track of some of my stash. I have LOTS of fabric, and much of it has been patiently waiting for my attentions for years. Although I try and make a habit of washing it as soon as it darkens my doorstep I haven't been that good at labeling it. I've got some recent acquisitions that I still have the information for (or can find online) so I will start with those. I don't know how much I will get catalogued; like many things I start with good intentions but then life happens. Maybe by having it here in a somewhat organized manner I can stop adding to the stash before using some of what I already have. I mean, do I REALLY need three separate lengths of black ponte? This will be an ongoing project to catalogue all my fashion fabrics, but not quilting or crafting fabrics.

Yesterday mom and I went to Fabricland to buy a couple of patterns (I think my first big 4 pattern purchase since I started using Lutterloh) and even though we both said we weren't going to buy fabric we both (of course) came home with one piece each. As an aside, I bought Butterick 6801 after watching Lucy from Sew Essentials show her take on it. To my surprise I couldn't find anything close in my Lutterloh collection. Alright; on to the fabric!

originally bought to make New Look 6203 but then decided this fabric is too heavy and that pattern is too confining at the neck for my comfort. Perhaps it would make a cute skirt; it definitely feels to me like a bottom weight.
