Sewing Stash Subtraction
December 27th, 2008. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.It’s the time of year that I work on my goals for the upcoming year. I do not make resolutions. They are usually too general and broken too easily. I try to focus on a few goals for the various facets of my life. Goals are measurable. Today I am sharing my 2009 goals for the fabric/yarn part of my life.
- I will reduce my stash of fabric, notions and yarn by not buying anything new during 2009 unless it’s to complete a work in progress.
- I will reduce my stash by completing one UFO (UnFinished Object) or one USO (UnStarted Object) for which I have already purchased the components each month.
- I will reduce my stash by making at least one Christmas ornament each month.
- I will declutter and reorganize my sewing room by Valentine’s Day in order to more efficiently complete the above goals.
What are your sewing, needlework and craft goals for 2009? Are you going to start early to make Christmas 2009 gifts? Most of the items in my UFO/USO stash will be used for birthdays and next year’s Christmas gifts. I think it would be fun to see if we could stretch our stash of creative supplies to cover most of the gifts we plan. Are you interested in reducing your stashes while creating a stash of gifts?
