New Spring/Summer patterns

Happy New Year ladies!!!

I haven't finished organizing my fabric yet, There's just always so much to do. I did purchase a few patterns for my wardrobe and thought that I should share!

My fabric stash is organized...

My fabric stash is organized--it took an hour or so, but I sorted through it and rearranged my closet.

I keep my patterns in plastic storage drawers.  I'm still working through purging my stock.

CHALLENGE 1: Let's get organized

Hi Sewers,

As 2012 ends, let's take some steps to prepare for the project ahead....

1. Inventory all of your fabric and pattern stashes.

2. Store your patterns in categories and work out how you'll organize them.

3. Organize your fabrics, too.  How will you store it? This is a great time to work out storage issues.  The next challenge will focus more on this detail.

4. Purge your stash of any patterns and fabric you KNOW you won't use (donate them to other sewers, thrift stores, or kids learning to sew)

5. Share with the group how you did.  How much fabric do you have (for slacks, skirts, dresses, suiting)?

That's it for now.  Complete the challenge by Saturday, January 5, 2013
