And these accompanying bit and bobs were ordered at the very beginning of March: This month, I was (obviously) going to make a bra, and then finally sew up my Minoru, which has been traced and hanging from the closet pole in my sewing room for quite a while. Best laid, ambitious plans…

And while I had used up my entire February and March fabric/crafting/sewing pattern budget on bra supplies, I couldn’t help but place an order at Fabric Mart when the fabric I had been eyeing for a while went on sale (I’m so bad!). It’s 3 1/4 yards of a Maggy London woven that is destined to be a lovely dress: Damask. $5.59 a yard…so pretty and shiny.

Plus, 3 yards of this navy (but almost black) lace happened to hop in my cart: $3.00 a yard. I can totally see this in a shift dress with unlined sleeves.

As for my NYE resolution…this month, I used a mere 4 3/8 yards and brought in 6 1/4 yards, which means I stashed 1 7/8 yards. However, I am currently working on a dress I hope to finish by April 1st, so I may use more fabric yet this month. The muslin-ing isn’t going to well, though. More on that hot mess later.

2013 Fabric Stash Resolution Status
Goal:  Negative stash yardage
Total yards stashed (+) or used (-):  -6.54
Goal on track?  For now…
