So, here I'm on my way out for a day of shopping, including a visit to Spotlight to check out the $5 patterns. I bought one. Very restrained, I thought.
Yeah. (smile) OK.
Now for the guilty confession; I'm a bit late with the report of my stash-busting pledge for last month... probably because it's so embarrassing to admit that last month the stash did not diminish one little bit. In fact, it has er, expanded somewhat. Expanded, considerably.
I made three items in April, only one of which was a bonafide stash-bust; my faux leather jacket. My navy corduroy skirt was a refashion from January, but I'm counting it since I only just blogged it last month, and the "bossy" dress I'm just going to consider a completely separate thing apart from the stash-busting challenge.And ... when I visited my parents for Easter, Mum gave me a rather, er, huge pile of fabric, lovely fabric that had been set aside for me by a very generous friend who was cleaning out her stash. So very kind of her. So my stash has gained roughly something like ten new pieces of fabric of various sizes.
Lots of productivity is definitely in order :)
