hi everyone it is time again for another sew your stash update if you're not
familiar with sew your stash it is a
challenge I started at the beginning of
last year to try to use those fabrics
and sewing supplies that we all have had
hanging out in our sewing spaces for
entirely too long so it's to encourage
us to look first at our stash and see
what we can use from it for new projects
before we go out and buy new fabrics or
new supplies or in my case to stop
buying every single pretty fabric that I
like but have zero plans to use I'm
gonna have a playlist of all of these sew
your stash videos link down below in the
description box so if you want to see
more information about the challenge as
well as my updates you can check them
all out down there last year I did
really great at sew your stash and then
I got a little bit off-track and I
talked about that in my last update
video that you can find in that playlist
so I was trying to remotivate
myself and get back on track with sewing
from my stash so I decided to add one
more goal to my personal list of goals
or the challenge and that is because I
have more than 300 commercial sewing
patterns so I decided to add the goal of
using more of my sewing patterns because
prior to this summer I had only used
about twenty-something of the patterns
and that is not even a drop in the
bucket compared to all 300 I have a ton
of patterns that are either vintage or
vintage reproduction and since I'm
trying to transition my wardrobe in my
style over to more of a vintage inspired
style I thought this would be the
perfect time to make some things for
myself that fit into my new clothing
style as well as be working toward goals
from this challenge so I think I've done
pretty well at this new goal and I'm
going to share everything that I have
made this summer using patterns for my
sash I did want to mention that I don't
have a ton of fabrics in my stash that
are either for clothing or the ones that
I do have that are
clothing type fabrics I don't have a lot
of yardage of them so in several of the
cases I did have to go out and purchase
fabrics a few of the times I purchased
fabric and a pattern so not every
project is a success on the so your
stash scale but I did do a lot of sewing
a lot of things that I'm really happy
with the outcome of and I think overall
I'm working in the right direction for
this goal I also did succeed in using
some fabrics for my stash for mock-ups
for some of these so even though the
finished garment is not necessarily
stashed fabric sometimes the mock-up was
stash and that still counts and anyway
let's get on to talking about the
different projects that I have made I do
already have videos about a lot of these
so I will link down below in the
description box to all of the projects
that I have a separate video about in
case you want more information on it but
the first thing I did this summer was I
made a Jedi costume for myself I have
already made Jedi costumes for the girls
Jeremiah already has a Jedi costume and I
figured it was time to have my own and
we belong to a local group called Jedi
okay see when we dress up in costumes
for different events like movie releases
or for charity events so it's a lot of
fun and I wanted to have my own costume
now so I started off by using simplicity
5840 and this is the pattern that we
could use for Jeremiah's costume and
then I also picked up McCall's seven six
nine six to use for it the pants and the
reason I selected this pattern honestly
is because it has pockets and that ended
up being my favorite part of this
costume so I'm really glad that I went
with this pattern this is a stash
pattern this is a newly added pattern
and
I have been kicking around the idea of
making this costume but I didn't really
know what to use I knew I would have to
buy fabrics for it because I didn't have
anything that was going to work for it
and I was walking through Walmart one
day and I went through the fabric
area and I saw some homespun fabrics
they were beautiful and they were very
affordable they only had a few different
colors and I selected a really dark navy
homespun fabric and I decided that was
what I wanted to use because I thought
it would have a nice light flowy look to
it and then for events that are in the
colder months I can just add like
thermals or whatever underneath so I
selected that Navy fabric then I also
selected a dark grey fabric that has
cross hatching on it for the pants the
tabards the Obi and the dickie so I whipped
that costume up in just a few days and I
absolutely love it I even added hidden
snaps and the Obi and the tabards
and the jacket tunic whatever so that I
could snap the things in place so while
I'm wearing it I'm not having to worry
about this strap falling down or my belt
sliding around or anything I thought so
it's really comfortable to wear and it's
really easy to wear and I'm so happy
with it I think that was one of the big
things that motivated me to do more
garment sewing was because that project
was such a success and I have not sown a
whole lot of wearable things for myself
lately and since that one went so well
it really encouraged me toward this goal
of sewing more patterns for my stash
because that one was such a win and it
wasn't planned but I actually did get
the costume finished in time to wear to
the solo movie premiere event the next
thing I made was a dress for Peyton she
is obsessed with orca whales right now
and we found a fabric at Joanne's that
is an orca whale print and as soon as
she saw it she was in love and she asked
me if I would make something for her so
we had to buy it
I said yes I would make something for
her but I didn't know exactly what I
wanted to make I was thinking a skirt or
a dress I wasn't sure and I knew I
wanted the shape of the dress when I
finally decided on a dress I wanted the
shape of it to somehow reflect orca
whales not just in the print but in the
designers as well so then I was looking
through my sash and I saw this pattern
McCall's 6310 and the shape right here
where the yoke joins the bodice really
resembles a whale tail like as soon as I
saw that I was like wow that that makes
me think of a whale tail I know that's a
silly thought to have but it I did and
so I used this pattern to make the dress
for Peyton this is a stash pattern and
unfortunately I only have it in one size
size 4 which is about a size too big but
that's okay because Peyton will be able
to wear the dress or quite some time and
it turned out beautifully and I loved it
I did use some interfacing and some
other fabrics from my stash to go along
with the orca fabric that we purchased I
do have a step-by-step tutorial for this
pattern that's down below in the
description box and Peyton loves her
dress so much she asked to wear it like
all the time and I am so so thrilled
with it next up is simplicity 86 54 I
used this pattern along with the fabric
that I got in last October's sew Hayley
Jane box to make the flowy shorts it
turned out well I did a whole separate
pattern review on this one where I
talked about my thoughts on it what I
would change and all that stuff so
definitely go check that out
but I'm happy with it overall and I
think it was a really fun project
because this is a style I've never sewn
before and it is also the fabric I used
is one that I haven't really worked with
before so it was a really great learning
experience as well as using fabric and
pattern
from my stash the next pattern that I
ended up using was simplicity eight four
four six I well I sort of used it
I made a bb-8 skirt that is a poodle
skirt inspired project but instead of a
poodle its bb-8 and it's a full circle
skirt with the shaped waistband from
this pattern the waistband piece is
actually the only thing I ended up using
from this pattern but it still counts um
but as for this pattern on a hole I
wouldn't recommend it I don't like how
things are sewn I don't like how the
pockets are done I don't like the
placement of them I don't like how the
zipper is inserted but I did use this I
do recommend this pattern only for the
waistband piece and that's what I used
still counts I used grey curtains from
my stash that a friend had given me to
make both a mock-up of the skirt and the
final skirt so two large curtains got
used for my stash for one project then I
made my Rose dress from Butterick 1694
and this was a rare occasion that I
bought the fabric and the pattern at the
same time I was at a fabric store that
was going out of business
and I saw this rose print fabric and I
fell in love with it and I knew that I
needed to make a fairly fitted kind of
like 50s 60s pinup kind of inspired
dress and so I immediately went over to
the pattern cabinets and went hunting
through the books and the patterns and
everything until I found this pattern I
of course love big skirted dresses but I
knew for this fabric a big skirt was not
going to work it needed to be the
slimmer fitted skirt and I am so happy I
picked this pattern
and I just I really enjoyed this project
it was one though that I was kind of
afraid to cut into the fabric because I
bought every bit of it there was and the
storm is closing so there was zero
chance of getting any more fabric if I
messed up and there were things about
this pattern that I was really not sure
about i wasn't sure on the fit and a few
of the steps because there is an
invisible zipper that i've never done
before there's the contrast area and the
back that flips over and just things
that i wanted to make sure that i got
them done right so I did make a mock-up
for this one I used some curtains I had
been given a while back that were
stashed fabric so that was a really good
learning experience because it gave me
the chance to get comfortable with the
pattern before I cut into the super nice
fabric that I did not want to mess up
and I'm really happy with how the
overall dress turned out and I am very
glad that I did the mock up and I have
videos on both versions of the dress on
my channel then last step is simplicity
eight four four seven and this is a
pattern that I see myself using quite a
bit I've already used it one time to
make the trousers I want to make the
dungarees view but I didn't have enough
fabric yet so I decided to go ahead and
make the trousers as a practice run and
to make sure that the hip and West
measurements were going to work for me
so I used this awful fabric from my
stash I bought it a few years ago at the
thrift store for like $2 or 2.50 and at
the time I was like this is the ugliest
fabric in the world it's an orange II
brown color it is awful but it was so
cheap it was like six yards of fabric
for just a couple bucks so I had to get
it and I thought well if anything I'll
use it for practicing stuff or for
lining something or you know anything
like that were it wouldn't
show so I thought why not use it to make
pair of pants if they don't work out
whatever I'll throw it out if it does
work out maybe I could pair it with the
right thing and make it look okay and it
turns out that ugly orange-y brown fabric
doesn't look half bad as a pair of pants
so I made the trousers already
eventually I would get around to making
the dungarees and I since making the
trousers have drafted my own version of
this pattern because I want to make a
pair of 1940s inspired jeans and it
doesn't look like it on the pattern but
these these pants fit really loosen the
legs like really loose because they are
meant to be worked in and you need a lot
of movement room and everything so I
have drafted my own version of the
pattern that is a little more fitted in
the legs to be 1940s inspired jeans then
I made a version from my own pattern
using a thin gray corduroy fabric that I
had in my stash I got it years and years
ago for like five dollars and I didn't
realize until I unrolled it to use it to
make my practice pair of pants that it
had slashes in it and each time you went
around the roll the slash got bigger so
it's just started out as a little slash
and by the end of it it's like this long
so it's really a good thing I decided to
use it to make a mock-up because I don't
think it really would have been usable
for other kinds of projects so I made
the practice pair of the jeans using
that gray corduroy fabric and then I
wanted to make something else so I found
a pair of denim in my stash that I've
had for a while and it wasn't enough for
pants but I realized it was enough for
shorts so I did make a pair of denim
shorts using my drafted pattern and that
bit of denim they turned out absolutely
awesome and I love wearing these
shorts so much I'm so glad that I
thought of making shorts from my jeans
pattern I'm really looking forward to
getting some more denim so that I can
make the 1940s jeans that I'm wanting to
make that will look pretty similar to
the shorts that I've already finished
but instead of the red top stitching I'm
going to be doing the traditional gold
top stitching that most jeans have now I
did want to talk about my pattern fail I
did have one fail and it was really
recently so I didn't want you to think
that everything I make turns out
fabulous and I am this super awesome
sower because sometimes I have complete
flops and I usually just don't show that
one of the flops was the original
version of the bb8 skirt it was a
horrible fail that's why it turned into
a mock up because it was not wearable
the other fail is simplicity two three
one one this is a 1940's vintage pattern
and I was trying to make view three
which should have been a very simple
project I didn't read the instructions
before I started and then I read the
instructions and saw that it was
supposed to have bound buttonholes which
I have never done in my life so I was
just going to do um sewn buttonholes and
that was going to be fine and the other
thing is that this pattern is one size
too small well sort of it's one size
smaller than my bust size it is two
sizes smaller than my waist size um I
measured the pattern pieces and I
thought it was going to be plenty large
enough but apparently my math was off
and even though I left out two of the
darts which gave me an extra inch of
space in the waist it still was not big
enough
yeah it was much smaller than I thought
it would be I had tried to do French
seams on it because I was using a thin
fabric here's here's the fabric it is
semi-transparent and so I was doing
French seams to finish off the seam
allowances nicely so it wouldn't fray
but I didn't want to do surging because
surging might show I didn't want to do
bias binding because of my show but the
way the sleeves are they are just
attached to the top so everything got
super bulky right here with a French
seam was then the fact that the waist
was too small I tried to let out to more
of the darts but it was going to wreck
the fabric and then the facing for the
neckline was too small as well so even
though it should have fit the opening I
don't know what happened there but it
was just everything was just not working
out so I finally just gave up on it
because I had plans I'd started on a
Friday I was going to vlog the process
and everything and make it in like one
day and wear it on Sunday but it just
wasn't working out but I was determined
to sew something that day I abandoned
the polka dot shirt project and that's
when the idea popped in my head to make
the denim shorts and I started in and I
made the shorts in five hours and yeah
so it turned out to be a huge success
because I did make a garment that I
really loved but it wasn't the one that
I started so technically I used more
stash but it kind of just went to waste
but thankfully I only paid a dollar for
this fabric at the thrift store a few
years ago so I'm gonna see if I can
salvage parts of it for something else
if not it wasn't too big of a waste you
know you win some you lose some
so that is all of the patterns that I
can think of that I used this
summer I feel like I really succeeded at
the noot goal that I added to my so your
sash challenge really happy with
everything I cannot wait to make more of
my patterns I'm hoping to make some
1940s inspired shirts probably not from
this pattern and but I do have some
reproduction patterns such as this one
that I'm hoping to use I want to use view C
down here so hopefully that's coming
up and I have a couple other ones that
I'm wanting to do so lots and lots of
fun garment sewing and yeah I've
obviously sewn some other things for my
stash and everything because you see
tutorials and stuff all the time on here
but those are the notable projects that
work toward my new goal and the
challenge so like I said earlier I do
have all of these sew your stash videos
in a playlist I will link it right over
here to the side and then below that is
my wrap-up for last year's challenge and
until next time happy sewing
