So I mentioned last week that I had a little announcement after my Fabric Weekend Roundup post – and this is it!

I am excited to stay that Marissa from Rae Gun Ramblings and I are starting a new monthly series called “Sew Our Stash”!

I think I’ve mentioned that Fabric Weekend was amazing. :) The girls attending were the most crazy-talented sewing bloggers. Like, making entire outfits for the weekend. Pretty dresses, cute tops, Sabra even had some killer pants that I would never have known were handmade.

I used to sew apparel for myself all the time. I remember wearing outfits I’d sewn in Jr. High!! (I need to look up photos. They were probably horrific.) I made my wedding dress for heavens sake. But for some reason or another, I just got out of the habit of it. I think maybe not being the exact size I want to be has something to do with it. But that’s a story for a whole different post. ;) I don’t want to make excuses though. I have all this lovely fabric now – perfect for dresses, tops, maxi dresses – and I need to get to sewing!

Well, during the weekend, Marissa (from Rae Gun Ramblings) and I got to talking about how much we wanted to sew for ourselves more. So we decided to help each other keep our goals – and we’ve come up with the Sew Our Stash series to help us! We would love for you to play along if you want!!

We have committed to sewing more apparel – and at the end of each month we’re going to show off what we’ve made. We don’t have specific numbers or anything – but we will have at least one new thing to show off at the end of every month. We’ll be posting on the last Thursday of the month and we’d love for you to join the fun.

I’ve been browsing around, and I have some things that I’ve pinned that are my “to-do” list! These are just a few – I have a ton of “regular” sewing patterns too that I am dying to use.

So let’s have some fun with this! Stretch ourselves!! I know until I get in the swing of things, not everything I make is going to be perfect – or off the rack perfect. That’s ok!! The more I do it, the better I’ll get and the more I’ll learn. :)

We have buttons that you can grab – and we’ll be using the hashtag #sewourstash on Instagram and Twitter so you can follow along with our progress, and share what you are making too. (If you don’t have items in your stash you can make up into clothes, you can still play  along of course. I am not promising to not buy new fabric for this lol. If you buy it and take it home, it’s in your stash. Boom.)

Grab a button if you’d like to play along and post your apparel adventures – we’ll be posting on the last Thursday of every month. So you can look for our first post on June 27!!
Make sure you’re following along with Marissa too – I know she already has some awesome things in the works for this month. She’s definitely inspiring me to get going!!

So what do you think?! Are you in? :)

I am really in love with Cassi’s I Hope Office and Craft Room Ideas board! I need to start one of these boards too – for my “someday” craft room!

There is lots of inspiration in Cassi’s DIY – Home Decor board!

I am all kinds of in love with this $50 DIY Coffee Table! This looks so expensive – and it doesn’t look too hard to do!

This Linen Basket at the foot of the bed is such a great idea – and it looks darling too of course! It’s perfect to store all those throw pillows from the bed in every night.
