Stash. Own up if you have any stash of any sort

I want to make inroads into my fabric stash and thank goodness that I kept an inventory with samples. I want denim type fabric for another skirt. Fingers crossed

I haven't bought Pear's soap for years. I don't think the online supermarket we use sells it but I now have a hankering for it.

PEars soap

oops, I eant to add that I will be adding to my needle felting stash on a monthly basis from the end of this month. I am treating myself to an animal kit once a month. I will need things to do over winter

zips, thread, interfacing and swedish tracing paper used from stash. I also used a notcher, one of those must-haves that you don`t know you need until you have one. I also used my gorgeous olfa quilting rulers, superb for getting a straight line on a length of fabric

I am shortly going to add to my stash, zips, overlocking cops and several tailors chalks in colours, the triangle ones

stash has been a lifeline for many, get an idea and go straight to it.

I added to my stash this weekend, I have some printed medium weight upholstery fabric left after making 2 sofa seat covers and a tablecloth and have cut out for a large cushion to do when the weather gets bad. It is a beautiful fabric, like linen but is cotton. I have a big sample piece downstairs and will need to wash it, I think it will shrink and in that case I will wash all of what is left. It will make a lovely indie skirt and go with many colours

My stash, has given me lots of pleasure and I felt that it is therapeutic and have enjoyed the hobbies, in the past I have made flowers out of tissue paper, made a wooden sign, and while the Lockdown is upon us all, I have made a Punch n Judy puppet theatre out of old timber I had leftover from a job that needed doing, plus enjoyed upholstery

Phoenix you are in good company - DD has a stash of make up and hair products. I have enough material to make myself half a dozen dresses and enough wool to knit about 20 jumpers and cardigans. But only two sewing machines.

Forgot to mention, art materials, leather making tools, embroidery threads, jewellery making supplies. I tend to switch from one hobby to another, but always need something crafty to do. On with cross stitch at the moment.

Owning up here. I have drawers full of scrap leather, and dozens of fully made up leather and fabric items - purses, bags, pouches, keyrings, wallets etc. I used to sell on Etsy but have stopped since lockdown and now have no idea what to do with it all.

up ?? I didn't type that, autocorrect slipped it in.

Hurrah, I finished off a cardigan for DGD, sewed on the buttons as well, it's washed and pinned out on the blocking board. Will she wear it? I will stick up to making blankets.
That's two things finished this week.

So true Callistemon and even worse, I always have leftovers that aren’t quite enough on their own lol !

One stash I don’t have enough of is stuffing. I thought I had loads for stuffing a large C-word item this morning - he’s supposed to measure 33 cm round both body and head, but he’s only measuring about 29, just not fat enough, b*gger it, so I’ve just ordered two big bags.

Was hoping to finish him today, so on with something else instead - just as well I’ve got a few things on the go.

I confess.
I have a stash of tiny knitted pieces which are waiting to be sewn together to make a Nativity scene.

I've got an assortment of tea pots in various sizes, I wouldn't call them a stash exactly, I do like them displayed on my kitchen shelves, a couple were presents. Strangely I actually prefer coffee, but not so many cafetieres only the three!

I look at them occasionally and talk to them, Witzend, they are very snug in their nice bag. I should block them.

A whole afternoon stitching in ends, @Callistemon, while your poor old wise men and shepherds etc. are still languishing in forlorn, unloved bits? They’re going to need therapy soon, I do worry about them!

Ah! I've been crocheting blankets supposedly from the stash but just kept needing another colour! Yesterday I spent the whole afternoon sewing in ends on one I just finished.
I resolved that the last one will be a complete mishmash of leftovers, then I'll knit something for me.

It’s a blanket, @Callistemon - all in garter stitch, more or less random 2 row stripes - in my case that’s going to be about 47 different colours, not that I’ve actually counted.
So apart from changing colours every 2 rows, nice easy brainless knitting in front of the telly. ?

I did wonder about sewing in all those ends, but I shall probably just knot them and make a fringe. Shall make it in 4 rectangles I think. I haven’t seen a pattern, just someone else’s pic.

It’ll be for Gdcs, since they do like something to snuggle under and it’ll be late autumn if not winter by the time it’s done. That’s assuming it turns out looking passable, of course, and not a candidate for the UFO bin.

I'm wondering what the brilliant and simple idea is, Witzend

Today I’ve seen someone else’s brilliant - and very simple - idea for using up my vast multicoloured stash of DK. Or most of it, anyway. It’ll have to wait until I’ve finished all current projects though - maybe another 3 months.
Then it’ll be time to start accumulating a whole new one! ?

Sewing room full of huge fabric stash, machines, haberdashery etc, huge crate of knitting wool, box of embroidery stuff, cases of watercolour paints and brushes and boxes of acrylic and oil paints in garage. I'm never bored.

French Silk Dyes and a dozen large bottles of acrylic paint.
loads of books including "In search of lost time" by Proust ( in
English). Many CDs mostly Jazz some classical.

Hearing aid batteries - box of - lovely audiologist let me have them ‘just in case’ - how prescient ?
