Yep. You’ve got a LOT of fabric. And it’s staring at you, wondering when it will get used. And you go to bed at night, feeling guilty that the prints you love the most you hardly ever get to see–except when you fold and re-fold those cuts from the bin.
Not anymore, you! Time to bust that stash and turn it into the yummy things you want, things you can use and look at and touch and enjoy every day! Ready?
Start by downloading the Stash Inventory–create a record of what you have, how much you have, and what you love about it. Get organized!
Next, browse the list of projects below, organized by fabric cut (scrap, fat quarter, half yard, full yard, and multiple yards). Based on how much you have of your various fabrics, find inspiration and encouragement to finally cut into that hoard and turn it into something amazing!
Note: this list is constantly growing and being updated! Leave suggestions in the comments, or feel free to email me links to your own projects posted on the web to include here!
