DESTASHING! It's Hard To Do


Fabrics and Notions


I am working on destashing my sewing room and its really, really hard for me to do. For years I have collected fabrics and notions I have loved, thinking someday I will use them. Someday I will use this piece or that one in a quilt. Or maybe I will make myself a jacket or top...etc, Yata Yata Yata, Do I? Not really. Once I would have but now it just seems like too much. 

The hard part is actually putting them out there. I find myself putting them in a 'To Go' stack and then taking them out again, thinking....I might want that or need that. Oh, it's so hard to thin out. 

I am excited, though. I have been doing well on Etsy with the fabrics and lace I have managed to part with. Women must like my choices from long ago. Plus my choices from estate sales. Fabric is something I have always loved, so it's easy to talk about. 

I love this 60ish lime green and navy print. It would make the cutest blouse or top. Maybe a full skirt. See what you think! So Mod!!

Here is a cutie from the 70's. A little girls outfit comes to mind. So bright pink and whimsical.

And then there is my Old Rose drapery fabric that is actually made up valances AND yardage in the same print.

I have a nice selection of vintage laces and trim and plan to add more soon. Here is the link to my Fabric and Notions section

Thanks for tuning in. I have So neglected my blog. I hope to get back in the habit of blogging. It takes lots of singlemindedness, which I don't seem to have much of lately. But, I will try.
