Here I thought I was going to make it with no fabric purchases in June, but the need to provide a color palette in real fabric for my Bee Sewcial mates arose, so I did order a few small cuts.
June Fabric Usage
Used up: 22.09 yards [14.06 projects + 8.03 recycled/sold]
Brought in: 2.5 yards
Net: -19.59 yards
I thought since we're half-way through the year, it might be fun to see my YTD fabric stats:
Used up: 105.83Brought in: 56.26
Net: -49.57
Kind of a shocking amount of fabric brought in, but remember in March I used a gift card that accounts for 25 of those yards? So I'm not really feeling too bad about that. Anyway, onwards! I'm not really sure what July holds for me sewing-wise, but I'm looking forward to finding out!
I have done a lot of stash busting this year. The way I know is that a few of my color bins are less than half full. It is fun to see that happen.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I bet it IS fun too. Curious if you keep your prints and solids together?
DeleteI always find these posts fascinating. I'm not sure I have the discipline to keep up a tally myself but I do think about purchases. This month I was gifted three banker's boxes of fabric from a widow's family. It was all Christmas related (which I love) and it was hard to be realistic about what to keep and what to regift. I filled one box with fabric to regift and may go through the two remaining boxes one more time before the next meeting where we have a free table. So this delightful windfall has really thrown off my buy/use tally for the quarter!
ReplyDeleteYeah, gifts like that (or giftcards) really throw counts off but what can you say? Enjoy your windfall! ;-)
DeleteWow, that's an impressive amount of used fabric for the year already!
