I think I spend more time looking for what I want and cleaning the dust off everything. I do enjoy looking through fabric as much as I do looking at designs. For some reason I love ironing when I am stressed. I am dying some fabric today.
173584Good for you for using what you have first. It used o be so much easier not to be tempted. Just stay home. Now with the internet I seem to always find a sale and some yardage I feel I just have to have plus the donated material from church for our quilt projects. Sigh.......with all that I seem to spend more time organizing my stash and cleaning up "Happy Place" then being creative.

I like to see what I am buying & the post is becoming a bit unreliable & getting dearer all the time. All the fabric shops near me have shut down over the years.Only Spotlight & Lincraft are left ,20 kms away.
109762Great find Judy, I hope you get to use it up as soon as you can. Love Chris

Some I can use to make tops for me & the rest will be made into little girls outfits to sell next summer.
45917Well done using up your stash. This is like suprise reward for being so good. That smell will probably come out in the wash.

The sun did a good job of removing the smell & the wash removed the spots
13241Not sure 30m more would dent my stash. Hope that you can think of many more projects you would like to do with the material and it is able to air out or wash out without problems to the fabric. I do love happy surprises and this was one for you, for your having been so good with your commitment of using your stash first. I either need my body to allow me to sew much more or start finding homes for the amount I have, though as it is, I could not even sort through all I have without a great deal of help. Happy stitching! Pam

Now it is washed & nearly all ironed ,I think it is nearer to 50m.All of it is cotton fabrics from the 70s & 80s left over from when I made childrens clothes to sell at the markets.
We just more time for sewing.
8217What a great surprise for you. Congratulations on using so much of your stash and being strong and not buying more fabric. Spring is here for us and it is going to be a warm day in my bit of the UK.
114509Put some nappy wash in the machine that should get rid of the musty smell.
What a lovely surprise for you.
