No Craft Spending in 2020 - I will bust my stash this year!!!

Very nice work chloe,I like them a lot.I am almost inspired to dust my sewing machine off.It must be 2 years since it's seen the light of day.I hand sew even the most difficult jobs,goodness knows why when a machine would have it done in a fraction of the time! I don't go to work any more and I think that is my problem.All my time is free time so there is no urgency to do anything.When I did work I was much more productive.
Thank you for the pics,I love a pic.I haven't put pics on of my recent stuff cos it's the same old same old but different colours!

Not posted here for ages, and I haven't the foggiest where I'm up to with my running total.
However, I have finally finished the gold waistcoat for my OH, have done a cover for the dining room table and am about halfway through a pair of jersey trousers ( which it is now far too hot for! it wasn't when I bought the material) So that's 2 on my total.
Managed to avoid buying any more material or patterns - Clothspot has a remnant sale, but luckily none of the material appeals.

I’ve used up a few more bits. Yay. 

I’ve also got as far as cutting out the dress pattern. I just need to find the motivation to shop it up now. Because that’s such a quick job. 🤣🤣

70 / 400.

I've made a card for my husband's birthday, and my son made one too- as he did all the work, I won't claim that in my totals, but it did use up some peel offs 😂 56/52
I've been trying to sew together the legging pieces I've got, but I can't get the jersey to feed nicely. My mum is going to lend me her universal walking foot next time I see her, to see if that fits and helps. My machine is quite old; my nan gave me her old one when she upgraded to a fancier embroidery machine. I can't find an actual foot for this model, and if I bought a Husqvarna one on a whim, it'd cost nearly £80 🤯
I will cut out some of the fabric for shorts and PJs as it's woven, and I can do that fine. I did buy a bit more as Stoff & Stihl had a sale on 😬 I do have plans for it all, and it can always do for the next size up! I must not buy anymore until I've used a lot more up though, I've used up all my storage space now.

I’ve mended two head towel things - and am frankly embarrassed to think how long one needed a button and one needed an elastic loop. 

I cannot make my sewing machine do my shirring elastic - And have for now given up trying...

HI everyone!
I've been reading along but haven't felt up to posting really.
Have a couple more projects to add to our list so should do that before I forget numbers again!
knitted projects-2 ducks, one elephant, one horse-33/52
I also bought a silicone mould which I've used to melt down candle odds and ends I was planning on using in the future-so now they are stackable. I haven't felt inspired to craft so I thought I would use my little free time to tidy instead in the hope of feeling more creative in the future. So sort of 34/52 as that is all done now. 

Stay safe everyone!

Tidying the stash is always time well spent cupcake! I did a bit this morning, and found I've got enough sensible sized scraps to make some pattern weights.
I'm making a big basket to tidy the toys in the dining room up- I've found, even after cutting out a big basket, I've got loads of curtain and lining fabric left. I've made two sets of curtains, two bug cushion covers and it's still going! No idea what to make out of it next.
The basket isn't quite finished yet, so won't count it for now.

Not counting them just yet, still 5 to do, but here's a photo of the pattern weights. I've had the buttons knocking about for ages- very pretty, but not been appropriate for any of the projects I've done so far.

Emsi they're great! What are you using as the weight? I quite fancy some of these, are you using a pattern?
