I continued to clean out my sewing room over the weekend.
But during the cleaning I decided that this girl needed a new skirt...
and it's also a good way to "hide" fabric.
I can tell you that there is a lot of 1/4 and 1//2 yd, pieces in that skirt!
I did get done with Round 1 of the destashing but I now need to go on to Round 2...
which means
I got rid of all the things I really really didn't want anymore...
but now I need to
dig in a little deeper and turn loose of the things that I know
I will probably never get to.
I did go through my magazines... and now only have a reasonabe
stack left. But even with those I think I need a Round 2.
It's like exercising...
I got started, which is well and fine but now I need to feel the burn.
No pain, no gain!
(okay that is only an analogy... I have not started to exercise).
(although I should, it could be next)!
I haven't even started in on the pattern collection.
Seriously... what was I thinking?
Way too many patterns. But they are cute.
Even though I haven't started to destash
patterns yet...
I thought we could have a giveaway today for these 3 patterns.
Are you interested?

I am in! I would love to win the Georgia pattern! Thanks for the chance
I feel your pain on the destashing. I've been trying to do the same thing. I'm on Round 4. It does get a little easier.
And I love the skirt for your mannequin!!
I am! I love new to me patterns and all three look like winners. Thanks for the chance!
Put my name in the hat! The patterns are quite nice.
Count me in! What better way to destash than to make something and the patterns look like they would be the perfect thing to help me get rid of some of my fabric. Love the skirt on the dress form, it's just too cute.
Please enter me in the giveaway! I know, destashing is hard to do!!! Thanks for the chance to win the patterns!
Lovely patterns. Count me in! thank you for the chance to win.

I am in! Always in search of great patterns, and they look quite fine to me... Love your new skirt!
would love to be included in the give a away. Just add to my pattern treasures
Your mannequin looks lovely ! So stylish! What a clever idea! I'm game for some new patterns! Count me in please!
Please count me in! I love what you did with the mannequin. Makes me wish I still had mine to play around with!

Your mannequin looks fabulous! Those patterns are really pretty but I can't get myself to sit and appliqué at the moment. I still haven't touched the appliqué pattern I bought about 3 years ago but can't bear to part with it. Too much going on so the Georgia pattern would be out for me.
Thanks for the chance to win!
The patterns would be fun to try. Count me in on the giveaway. I wish I had as cute a skirt as your mannequin does!
I'd love a chance to win. What I need is a kick in the butt to straighten up my sewing room. Unfortunatly I need to finish a BOM, binding a quilt and finishing a baby quilt (baby due 2/21/14). Keep up the good work. ;-> Toni Anne
I love all those patterns and I am sure that using them would help me to do a little stash busting! My hanks for the chance.
Certainly!
Extremely interested...although I am in the process of destashing myself these days, so much that I'm having a sewing room sale on the weekend!
But of course, once I sell out of everything I have to offer, a few new patterns will have room to move in! Right...?
Oh boy, I am also treading that same path. AFTER I moved, I began going thru the books, magazines and patterns. Way too many I can't bring myself to get rid of--will probably go on round 2 like you. It's TOUGH work but someone (unfortunately ME) has to do it!! Please don't include me in the drawing..thanks tho!
Wow Sinta, your fabric 'skirt' it so fun and funky and at the same time gorgeous!!! I LOVE it! What a great way to display fabric. You know what though...wouldn't a skirt made like that be gloriously fun, for real??? Okay, nuff said, except that I really need to de-clutter my sewing room. I have surrounded my self with odds and ends that are so special to me but have nothing to do with sewing, and while there is nothing wrong with that, I have let it take over soooo much of my space, that I'm stuffing fabric and sewing supplies I need at the ready in drawers. So, you have inspired me, I'm going to find a different place of honor in my home for my treasures and turn my sewing space back into what it needs to be. Thanks for that. OH, I would love to be included in the pattern giveaway though...I don't consider patterns 'clutter'... yet, LOL. I'm still building my stash and pattern collection so thanks for a chance. Big Hugs...
I am interested in the patterns. I would love a chance to get them.
Yes, please. I'd love to share with my niece, a new quilter.
Yes please! Thanks for destashing :)
Good luck on the destashing. The skirt is fabulous!
Well done. I need to get going too, but I have a quilt deadline first.
Love your patterns and I would be more then happy to add them to my stash. Although I think I need to add 100 years more to my lifetime to make all the patterns I have;-)
The skirt is such fun, I wish I had a lady to dress like that. Thanks for a fun giveaway too.
LOVE the skirt. Ingenious! I cleaned out my room last year and donated 4 huge garbage bags to the Veterans. I agree with your "what was I thinking?" Can't believe I bought some of that fabric. It felt so good too.
Love those patterns though! I always look forward to your blog entries.
Oh yes, Please! Who isn't interested in a giveaway? Thanks for offering!
Yes...those are cute patterns and count me in. Sounds like you have a big job ahead of you and round 2 sounds very painful....keep at it!
Good luck with your cleaning and organizing. I did it last summer, so I know what you're going through. It took a long time (I also cut up my scraps into usable and uniform sizes), but it is SO worth the effort.
I love the "skirt" you made, so cute! Thanks for the chance to win the patterns.
Thanks for the chance to win. I really need to get rid of some clutter in my house.
I would love to have a chance to win. The patterns look so pretty!
Oh my heavens, I love the skirt!!! I have been wanting the Sugar Dish pattern for long that I am jumping with excitement that you are offering it as a giveaway. And it's almost like cutting a piece of your body off to destash quilt stuff lol...I know..I was there last year. but be comforted...somehow they grow back lol :)
I am in! Those look lovely! That skirt is fabulous! What a great idea!
I need to do some of the same :(
I can already feel the separation anxiety coming on just thinking about it ....thats bad right :)soooo
I would love a chance to win your patterns !!!
It feels so good to do some organizing and purging! I love your skirt--very cute and creative!
Destashing, yup... My cupboard is bursting and in need of destashing! We usually sell (and buy) fabric in my local quilt guild, a few times per year. Unfortunately I sometimes come home with just the same amount of fabric ( to tell the truth... More ;o)
I'd love to win....working with my daughter who is new to quilting, so I'd pass them on to her as she's just graduated and is still looking for a job!
I'm interested! I just love that fabric skirt :-)
Oh so very interested....lol
I love the skirt on your pretty girl. It looks so sunny. When you are done in sewing room you can come and help me with mine.
Hugs
Well, I love your room and the patterns so count me in thegiveaway! thank you. slozano5 at earthlink dot net.
Keep up the good work. Would love to win the Promenade pattern. Looks fun to make!
I am a multiple pass destasher too... I'm gearing up for lots of it during the Winter Olympics. I'd love a new pattern!
I would love those patterns. Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck with your destashing!
Count me in...would love to win. The patterns look amazing
Love the fabric skirt and a great way to store fabric and pretty to look at! Good for you on the deep cleaning. I am at the baby step stage and just really need to jump in. Having said that, love that promenade pattern by basic grey.
Hi Sinta! I've just returned from a trip and getting caught up on my blog reading.
I love the little lady's new skirt ;)
Exercise is over rated but I guess it's something we need to do...next week.
