Yep, That Butterscotch Dress

Finally, after selling at CA 2008, I can get back to finishing up a project from two years ago. I have made a challenge to all of you, get out your stash, use up scraps, actually make the costumes you've been planning for years. Eek, isn't that scary.

The truth of it is, we all have hoards of fabric in containers and bins. It's a spring cleaning project, it's a bad economy project, that's right, it's even green. Use and recycle what you got! Finish up that costume, and stop people from yelling that you need to stop spending money on your passion. Use the passionate fabrics you already bought!

Wait, this means you cannot procrastinate...but it's good you use the resources you already have. So, here you go:

  • Instead of going out to movies, dinners and things that cost money, costume.
  • Use fabrics and supplies you already have
  • go to more sewing circles with friends, brainstorm
  • carpool to events...saves gas
  • attend more garage sales, find stuff for costumes and recycle old clothes and items

10frLast summer, I sold gazillions of yards of fabric and scraps to burners before Burning Man. It was great!
