You've got three weeks to do your tabeling and tagging before the Destash! ⁠ For efficiency in the swap it's very important that you come with a count of the number of units you are bringing. Each cut, each skein, each book, each pattern, each ‘thing’ you have is one unit and we need to know on Saturday, March 14th your total number of units. This unit count will help us group shoppers for the 'shopping' portion.⁠ ⁠ Labeling will help our volunteers get your items quickly sorted. And, help 'shoppers' know what they are getting. It's also helpful for people who may have allergies or aversions to certain materials or if it was in a home with a pet. If you aren't sure what you have, just write 'unknown' or my favorite, "It's a Mystery!". ⁠ ⁠ In 2018 I heard from folks who said 1/2 a yard was too small for garments and many of our donation locations only accept fabric that is at *least* one yard in length.⁠ So, that's how we set a one-yard minimum length for garment fabric.⁠ ⁠ If you missed the download link in the FAQ when you registered, you can go to the link in the bio to download your labels (12 to a page). ⁠ #DestashBaltimore
🌞 Entering the yellow phase of our midwinter Florida vacation (and the last wardrobe post from it). ⁠ ⁠ Burdastyle Dior dart sack dress in yellow stretch linen. Made this back in May 2018 and live in it during the summer. Technically, pastel yellow is an 'accent' color in my Curated Closet personal color palette. For me, that means I love the color on me, but don't want an entire wardrobe of yellow all year round. It's perfect for summer.⁠ ⁠ Second photo is with my cousin in the navy blue velvet StyleArc Besharl Jacket I made two weeks ago. I think I might like this dress better with this main color to break it up a bit. Multiple layers also feel more like a complete outfit. Photo was taken in front of the @Lycettedesigns needlepoint shop in Palm Beach, Fla. Gorgeous store if you have a chance to visit. I walked out with just a needleminder, and that was a great accomplishment. ⁠ #118Burda022011 #burdastyle #curatedcloset #brightcooldeep
🍆 I chose aubergine/eggplant as one of my "cool neutrals" for my Curated Closet personal palette (the other is a gray). I wasn't sure how I'd pair it, or even if I had anything that color. Turns out I did! . . @cashmerette Montrose top paired with my @Burdastyle Plus cool red linen pants. Wouldn't have thought of this combo in a million years, even though the Montrose's vintage Japanese fabric has bits of red in it. . . . #curatedcloset #cooldeepwinter #montrosetop #cashmerettepatterns #burdastyleplus #linenpants #139Burda042011
Love how @lucky_sew_and_sew explains #DestashBaltimore below. Destashing lets me get down to fabrics I love, add fabrics from others that work better for me and spend time with other creatives. ⁠ ⁠ Tickets available on my profile as "get tickets" or go directly to DestashBaltimore.EventBrite.com ⁠ ⁠ **Pictured: Fabrics Renee bought, some from her first fabric shopping trip to NY, that just aren't 'her' anymore. All coming on March 14.⁠ ⁠ ----⁠ Reposted from @lucky_sew_and_sew⁠ ⁠ One of the many things I enjoyed about this event two years ago was seeing people find plenty of free fabric and patterns which was so liberating to use without the self-limiting talk about costs and beginner skills. ⁠ ⁠ So if you’re like me, buy a ticket so that you can bring all the excess supplies weighing you down physically and emotionally. And if you are a new sewing aficionado then buy a ticket and spread the word that this is the best way to build your “resource center” and boost your creativity. ⁠ #DestashBaltimore #baltimoresews #MDSews #marylandsews #charmcitysewcial
Destash Baltimore registration is open!⁠ Link above for tickets. ⁠ What is Destash Baltimore? It's a great big community drive fabric and fiber swap. ⁠ Come to lighten your fabric load or pad out your closet. Stay for the maker fellowship! ⁠ How does it work? Bring in and donate your unloved fabric, patterns, books and yarn. Then "shop" what others have brought in. ⁠ We've partnered with other organizations to take what's leftover. That simple! #destashbaltimore ⁠
I am really into @stylearc these days. The patterns are well drafted, on trend, in my size range and blessedly succinct instructions. This Besharl Jacket can work for a woven or knit and I used this gorgeous stretch velvet that @jasikatrycurious was generous enough to send along to me when she did a color palette cull.⁠ ⁠ I loooove this fabric and color! It's a deep blue, so one of my primary colors. It's embossed with paisley flourishes which provides visual interest. It's just so luxe!⁠ ⁠ We left for a warm weather vacation this week and I wanted a topper for evenings if/when it was cooler, or indoors with too much a/c. Second photo is just the interior, which I serged for neatness.⁠ ⁠ Hoping to get some photos on me this week, but still like to capture garments on my grid for posterity.⁠ ⁠ Made a size 16 and graded the hips out by 4"/ two sizes and added length for a bit of an FBA (I didn't want the front riding up). My only complaint are the pockets. They are too far bac to really stick your hands in. But, totally fine location for holding things like rich lady peppermints.⁠ ⁠ #BesharlJaacket #Stylearc #stretchvelvet #richladychic⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
