Tackling the stash... Our Creative Spaces

I'm on a bit of a mission at the moment. It was triggered by the Elsie Marley Kids Clothes week challenge last week and the fact that a very wet winter will soon be here (with the inevitable flooding of our basement and therefore my sewing room). My mission is to use up some of my fabric stash and do my best not to buy any more fabric until most of it has gone.

The market skirt made using this tutorial now has 2 pockets.

I've managed to get heaps of sewing done over this week due to some lovely friends offering to take Eloise for an extended playdate on a couple of the days so I could get some sewing done before school pick up.

Love the little gathered pockets.

The flower dress now has a slightly smaller (and far more practical) bloom.

Butterfly pants, size 2.

The benefits of getting stuck into using your fabric stash is that sometimes you find half finished projects that take very little time to finish. If found these little spotty pants underneath a whole pile of fabric. I love this fabric. I might have to applique a little matching t-shirt to go with them.

 I got so much done yesterday daytime and felt so inspired, I even went down to my sewing room after the kids had gone to bed and made a start on these little boys' 3/4 pants.

 The pockets are lines with the same contrasting fabric as the cuffs. I'm so pleased with them. I've got enough of the fabric to make them in bigger sizes too (these are size 2-3). All of these things will be coming with me to Crafternoon Tea on Saturday.
