I hereby pledge to not buy any new craft supplies, excluding notions required to facilitate projects such as thread, zippers, etc., and to use what I have to do future projects.
I have a ton of fabric. Boxes stashed neatly under my bed galore. Plus boxes of assorted supplies for assorted crafts. I need to use this stuff up. I admit it, i am a hoarder, but I also love to craft. So everytime I go to a craft store i end up buying more. I figure free stuff from freecycle or craigslist free section don't count because I'm not spending any money. But I am hoping to get back into making clothing for myself and refashioning other clothing to refresh my wardrobe. To this end I want to focus on fabric and un-used clothing I already have first. Use up my stash.
I definitely don't want to buy anymore new fabric for now. I've been trying to be more environmentally friendly, and I think using what you have and re-using clothes has to be more eco-friendly than buying new fabric for every project. I'll make it work somehow.
It is exciting because what projects I work on will, to a certain extent, be influenced by the fabric I have. This could get interesting. Once I get going I'll keep y'all up to date on the adventure.
