There are many sewing challenges, sewalongs and sewing contests out there in the sewing world! One of my main community sites is PatternReview, and they always create a full roster of contests throughout the year. The first one of the year, running through January and February, is a Fabric Stash contest, a throwback to the very first contest they ever ran, 25 years ago when they were new!
The idea is to sew things using only fabric you've owned since prior to June 30, 2025. I think I have enough to choose from ;)
And since I've determined that I need to use my stash, I've signed up for this one! My plans are a little loose; I'm putting some fabric and patterns together and thinking of what I should make next. Of course, the items on my MakeNine list are on my mind here, too!
Right now I am thinking that I will make 2-4 items. I have a lot going on in January so might not get to much this month! I would like to try the Vikos Dress from my MakeNine, and if I can make one of the Burda dresses I have put into the last few years of MakeNines, I'd be happy with that!
Another part of this contest prep is just going through the stash. I have so much fabric right now. I need to sort it, choose some to sew up right away, and decide if I am going to keep some of the other pieces. So a weekend of stash sorting awaits...
