I bought 44.47 yards of fabric. That was mostly birthday and Christmas fabric, so I don't mind too much. My main goal is to use up more fabric than I buy. I would like to sew up twice as much fabric as I buy, but I'm ok as long as I'm not just adding more fabric to the stash.





This year I plan to concentrate on sewing for myself. I really hate having to make alterations for fit, but buying clothes in the store is not any better. Those clothes are not flattering or cheap.
