Starting point!

Hey There!

So I am attempting what every sewing enthusiast says they will do - sew up the exsisting stash before buying new fabric. 

Yes I can hear you laughing saying 'yer right' or 'I say that every year' but I really want to try! 

So to keep myself accountable I'm starting this blog and will keep anyone interested updated on my progress or (let's face it) my dispare when I fail. 

So this fabric buying ban is only on fabric - obvious right?!? I will buy elastic, snaps, trims, lace, buttons etc that will help finish items but just no fabric!

I am going to sew up my whole stash to then sell through my business - Khy's Hobbie (www.facebook.com/khyshobbie) 

Now my space is just pathetically messy. I did at one time attempt to organize as you can see in the photo that most fabrics are wrapped around comic boards. These are all pre washed and ironed fabrics so yay that makes it a bit easier. 
In the top left corner of the left cube are two plastic containers of FQ (if anyone has a suggestion as to what I can use these for please tell me cause I brought them not knowing what to do with them yet I've never really found a use). 

I have bags of fabric too I brought from my friend when she was de-stashing. See I'm such a lovely person haha 

I use the ping pong table as my cutting and sewing area - I'm sure my friends want their space back as they are in a championship league so they have lost their practice space haha. 


So follow my journey! And let's see how far I can get!
