I didn’t use up much of a skein on this project, but every little bit counts, right?
This was for my shop in STS & I have plans to make another with a larger “mouth”
and the link to my project: produce bag

I have used this kitty fabric to wrap a few gifts recently, but this is the only one that’s sewn or finished. It’s such great fabric and perfect for an almost-October just-because gift as well as for this particular October birthday.
Both fabrics are from stash as well as both ribbons. YEY!

I like that pattern. Very stretchy and pretty ”weightless” in the right yarn.

I’d cycled most of these market bags back into stash to cut up for other projects but what a waste of all that pressing, cutting & sewing getting them to 80% done. There are over 20 finishe with a few more to go.
Corduroy medium duty
Unlined light duty.
They’ll be donated to a charity bazaar along with over 20 reversable gift bags. The ribbon was all from stash too.

Nice craft productivity there!
The weather has turned here- cooler, today windy and gray. It’s making me want to start all the projects in my mind and flit between them like one of the squirrels out my window scurrying about on their own winter prep project.

Next batch done!
That makes 28 done & I found 9 more just needing handles. There’s a stack of fabric I don’t think I’ll ever use for anything else so I see even more eventual bags!
I am laser focused over here, woo!

You’ve got this! Think of all the good they’ll do in the world by hitting their potential- and all the space you’ll free-up at home! Golllllld!

I think your method of rolling through a stack of fabric is genius! Get in the mindset and get it done!
You have turned your pile into a useful item that most people have no skill to manage. They will be appreciated and used…the circus ones are adorable but so is the leaves one…

@AIMR , do you think any of the DGY we’ve received this year would be good for the whirled headband Mel did in the use what you have swap? Is silk ok for that kind of wearable?

Dannnng, @Magpie! You have been cruising through that fabric stash! What a great way to make a big dent in your stash and make a nice contribution to the bazaar!

All those bags were constructed for years, they only needed handles. Which, it turns out, actually take a bit of time to position, pin & stitch.
This is what I do. No matter my original good intentions, boredom takes over at 80% & I give up for YEARS.

Same. I have a whole closet of projects that are nicely tucked away with all of their supplies that I’ll get around to some year.

This is a rarity for me, but a real thing. Usually instead of boredom it’s fear of messing up. I tore out all the flooring on our 2nd floor and replaced it a couple years ago, but I still haven’t done the 36" trim piece for the top of the stairs. It’s going to be some tricky cuts on an expensive piece. I am determined to do it before winter is out,

I decided to do a craft supply no-buy from Oct-Dec, but my brain is NOT HAVING IT. It has decided we need to spiral about everything we’re going to run out of. Not exactly the grateful focus on what I already have that I was going for.
