I’m on a mission. It has been brought to my attention that my stash has reached critical mass and immediate action must be taken.

Here’s where the numerous “quick-n-easy” projects I’ve been queuing up for the past couple of years (and have been ignoring since the sexier “time-consuming-n-hard” projects had my full attention) will prove very useful indeed. They may be quick and they may be easy, but they also require a lot of fabric and notions.

My stash doesn’t consist merely of nice lengths of pristine fabric. Part of the stash is made up of my husband’s cast-off clothing and crazy thrift store finds…like vintage bed sheets.

I used up half a queen-sized bed sheet to make this nightgown:

It’s imperfect. I don’t like where the empire seam sits on my body, but that’s ok. The fabric is so incredibly soft I can forgive any faults of the design.

I couldn’t make heads or tails of the instructions for finishing the neck edge, so I simply bound it with bias tape. I think it looks nice! Using Wash-Away Wonder Tape helped keep the binding smooth while I sewed. I love that stuff!
