Sewing the stash

So this is the corner of my living room. I just put up the shelves so things are not as bad as they were but yeah, I have too much fabric. I've tried a couple of times to just have a clear out and get rid of stuff but everytime I do that I think of all the things I could make with that fabric, and how useful it would be and it ends up staying.

​So there's only one option - I'm going to have to sew it all up and not buy any more - one project at a time!

​Project one
​
​Pyjamas for the boy :)
​I finished this in 3 days - 3 days! I am super amazed by this. Raffie was fascinated by the whole process and let me sew while he was there, happy to sit on my lap and 'help' or on the floor next to e making art work out of my button collection.
​I will be tackling more quick and easy projects, especially ones for Rafie as he was so excited to wear them (even before hemming and waistbands!)
