Challenge 1: Put the finishing touches on a WIP
Challenge 2: Take a look at your stash as it currently stands. Maybe even look back at any DeStash Goals you made at the beginning of 2025. Then see what you feel like crafting that will help you end the year on a high note.
Another scrappy hat using leftovers from hats earlier this year. Used up the two main ones you see, plus some bits and bobs of others in the pompon.
I’ve been going to town on my Christmas Fabric Stash. My goal is to use up at least one more Fat Quarter by the end of the season, which is more challenging than you’d think given how small these dresses are. This sewing session finished off the light blue snowflakes in the bottom pic, as well as the pink mistletoe print.
And I made another set of books. So that’s a scrap of bookcloth, two lightweight sheets of patterned paper, and four pieces of double sided cardstock out of stash. 0.0000001% down and miles to go before I make a noticeable dent in that side of my supplies.
Both are so nice!! I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what do you do with your crafts when they’re finished? You seem to make a lot of repeat items, like tiny doll dresses and notebooks. Do you sell them?
As enjoyable as I find making the same thing repeatedly with slight variations in materials, there is a method in my madness.
I have an etsy shop which is where all the doll dresses go, although I’m trying to taper that off.
The books are actually fanfiction and public domain works that I’ve formatted, printed, and bound. In cases where I’ve made two of the same, one is going to the author while the other is for my shelf. There’s no way I could use that many sketchbooks or journals, and I’m too picky about the quality of my writing paper anyway!
That makes sense!! So your books aren’t just very fancy notebooks, but handbound, custom books. I bet the authors are thrilled to own a one of a kind luxury edition of their own work.
Yay! Two more hats using only stash:
I love the purple toned one!
Thanks, I really liked how the colors looked together. These are all stash scraps from hats made earlier in the year.
I just destashed a bag of flannel scraps for donation blocks. Yay!
