There was quite a bit of sewing done this month. Most of my projects were part of the Pattern Review pattern stash contest. How perfect was that! Just the push I needed. I didn't pattern stash bust the most in the contest but I'm thrilled with what I managed to accomplish and in awe the number of items others had managed to accomplish during the contest. 

Sew far this year, I managed to stash-bust a total of:

• 45.61 metres of fabric, 
• 15 previously unused patterns, 
• 4.6 metres of trim, 
• 4 zippers, 
• 12 spools of thread, 
• 3 sewing machine needles, 
• 7 snaps,
• 44 buttons and
• 2.8 metres of elastic.

And this this year I've added to my stash:

• 37.4 metres of new fabric, 
• 7 Vogue patterns,
• 1 Simplicity pattern,
• 1 metre of trim,
• 7 spools of thread
• 2 sewing machine needles,
• 6 buttons
• 2 new sewing feet
• 4 metres of elastic.  

Happy Sewing!
