Stash Diet Round Up: January

Welcome to the first Stash Diet Round-Up!  Here are the end-of-month results I received in my mailbox this month.  There are even more FOs over in the group pool - lots of people got right to business this month using stash.

First up is Stephanie, who used up a whopping 6 yards of fabric for making her first Renfrew:  3 for the muslin and 3 for the final product.  Way to go, Stephanie!

How cute is Ela in her new shirtdress?!  She has a small but beautiful stash, and managed to work up this sweet dress this month - with pintucks AND plaid matching!

My co-organizer Andrea knocked out two Stash Diet makes this month:  her Hemlock tee and her Sheath dress.  Both from fabrics she bought here in Chicago when she visited in December!

Also from Toronto, Dieter Sara used up both yarn and fabric stash this month.  No hard numbers here, but she seems happy with her loss!  She made LOTS of hats, and a super cute Plantain:

Kristin knocked it out of the park this month by using up 8.5 yards of fabric from her stash.  Her daughter was the beneficiary of a lot of this sewing, receiving some pajamas, shorts and a cute tunic:

Kristin also spent a lot of time perfecting the fit on her Alma blouse, and it really shows in her beautiful FO:

 She's currently doing the same for the Lady Skater Dress.  Here's her first muslin:

I was experiencing heightened SewJo for a good part of the month, so I managed to use up 7 of my stashed fabrics!  I made 6 finished items from the stash, and used one piece as a muslining fabric for my pencil skirts.  Too lazy to put all the links - you'll find them in my 2014 Sewing FOs page up above :-)

That's it for this month.  If you wanted to be included but didn't send me your links and photos, you can go ahead and do that and I'll add them on.  See this post for details.  Otherwise, onwards and upwards!  Or should I say, downwards?!


AND THE ADD-ONS!

I've gotten a couple more emails, and am working on updating this page.

Karen over at Taivahalla reports the following:
4 pieces of clothing

6 yards

No purchases

Way to go, Karen!

 Shar (my jeans buddy) put together this nice collage of her four makes from the month - two of which also qualified for Jungle January!  She told me earlier that having to work from stash inspired her to use up that pretty plaid in the lower right corner, which had been languishing for a while.

And Becky used one looooong piece of stashed olive green twill to make two garments:  a pair of pants and a skirt!
