Folks, are we still doing #MarchThroughYourStash?
I feel like I need to hide from the world in my sewing room.
A promo poster for this month’s #SewSky stash busting sewing challenge! An illustrated pair of hands sews green fabric with a sewing machine. Three pink illustrated flowers are off centred.
Dear #SewSky, we’re back with another round of #MarchThroughYourStash! Here’s a month-long stash-busting #sewing challenge for you:
- use 1+yd of fabric from your stash between March 1-31
- share your project using #MarchThroughYourStash2026
- Repost someone’s completed challenge project
🧵🪡🌸🌷🪻🌼
Hey @comfyspice.bsky.social! Are we doing a 2026 version of #MarchThroughYourStash?? I’ve got both yarn and fabric stashes staring at me saying yes… What do #KnitSky and #SewSky think?
Today I told my friend about #MarchThroughYourStash and she said, “But March is just one month?”
We were standing in a museum shop at the time, so then I bought a book.
Last month I did a fabric destash during #MarchThroughYourStash. Today I was able to donate some yardage for other sewists to enjoy at a local deadstock fabric store. Embracing the #recycle theme for #SewskyEarthMonthChallenge and keeping textiles out of the landfill - fabric is not waste! #sewsky
My #MarchThroughYourStash project became my April #sewsky Upcycle project.
Some new details (machine flower embroidery on pockets) and revisions (adding back original Lucky pockets in cargo position).
Almost done! Watch for it to purchase in my Poshmark closet posh.mk/gaOu4gFwrSb
A women with long dark hair in a braid. She is wear a white, short sleeve button up shirt, small silver necklace and black skirt. She hasn't seen sunlight in a million years, probably.
OK, I'm a bit late, but I finished my #olleahblouse by @ora-lin.bsky.social for #MarchThroughYourStash. This pattern was part of a sew 'n show and this linen has been in my stash for ages. It was the perfect combo & I'm stoked with how it turned out.

A person with short, teal-dyed hair and teal cat-eye glasses stands against a light-colored wall. They are wearing a short-sleeved button-up shirt with black and white vertical stripes on the front, teal patterned sleeves, a teal polka-dot collar, and bright blue buttons. They are smiling slightly and have one hand on their hip.
My patchwork #CameronShirt is finished! SO pleased with the end result, and will definitely make more patchwork shirts in the future. Since I successfully rampaged through (1/??)

I took a moment to go through the entries for #MarchThroughYourStash and am filled with so much love for this lil #sewsky community ❤️ Big shoutout to @comfyspice.bsky.social for getting the ball rolling! 🧵🪡
Keep making and sharing, folks, it’s the light we need at times like these ✨
A person with short, shaved hair and a bright teal section in the front poses against a plain white wall. They wear teal cat-eye glasses, a button-up shirt with a mix of patterns (black-and-white vertical stripes on the body, teal with white polka dots on the collar, and teal with a swirling pattern on the short sleeves), and yellow pants with a small white floral design. They have a warm, friendly smile and rest one hand on their chest.
The patchwork #CameronShirt has a collar now! Next steps: hem the sleeves, finish the interior collar stand, hem the bottom, buttonholes, buttons. When this shirt is finished (1/??)

A photograph of a simple zippered pouch, in black fabric decorated with green leaves and colourful sugar skulls, with the zipper in the middle opened to reveal felt tip pens.
A final evening of scrapbusting for #MarchThroughYourStash, I sewed some zipper pouches.
They're quick to run up and handy for small storage.
Last hurrah for #MarchThroughYourStash donated at least 3 yds of fabric for ASG charity sew summer shorts for kids. Group made 20 pr total.

I made two pairs of trousers in March. One hasn't been photographed. It was from fabric I bought in February but I'm not counting it as #MarchThroughYourStash. These, on the other hand, I bought the fabric for last year. Made for Mermaids Alani Bottoms but I tapered the leg. #garmentsewing #sewing

BRB. Off to tell the bf he's taking me to dinner this week.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THE SWISH. THE DRAPE. THE
HEM IS A LIL WONKY BUT THAT'S COOL.
#MarchThroughYourStash #GarmentSewing #ClosetCorePatterns
An upturned and pinned hemline in blue floral print under a sewing machine needle.
On the final stages now for my #ClosetCorePatterns Elodie wrap dress. I've let it hang to relax for a day, pinned the hem and now it's time to get stitching.
Hopefully it's not too wonky. Solo hemming you own stuff is tricky.

Person with shaved head and blue hair, black framed glasses, standing in front of a white wall. They're wearing a patchwork shirt, half-finished. Black and white stripes form the front, the back is a dusky blue, and the sleeves are a patterned turquoise. The shirt has no collar and the sleeves aren't fully sewn in.
The #CameronShirt sleeves are in! (Halfway - still have to sew the bottoms and the sides of the shirt.) I find sleeves so nerve-wracking. I don't quite understand how much I'm (1/2)

Close up photograph of a hand holding a partially completed dress, in drapery blue fabric. There's a little red mark on the nail of the thumb that pinched together the fabric and a slim, silver sewing needle.
It's 7am on a Saturday and I am hand stitching a waistband facing because fuck it, that's why.
Anyway, when hand sewing I mark the stitch gauge on my thumbnail with a pen to help keep it even.

A wrap dress with dolmen sleeves and a full length skirt in blue floral print fabric, on a hanger against a mirror.
The waistband is on and so is the skirt! I'm excited. It's so swishy and floaty.
Still to do, I need to hand sew the waistband facing and hem the bottom of the skirts
Good enough for today though

An inside out half of the waistbelt in blue floral print fabric, slung on a pale blue green cutting mat over paper instructions.
The inside out belt, partially threaded over a wooden chopstick.
So this half of the waistbelt is stitched and the seam has been pressed and graded down to about 1/8". I'm going to turn it right side out with my turning tool of choice which is a chopstick.
Chopsticks make the best turning tools, I will die on this hill.

Alright, let's get into it.
#MarchThroughYourStash.
Bodice part of a wrap over dress with dolmen sleeves, separated from the skirt. The fabric is a blue floral print.
Long skirt in blue floral print fabric, not yet attached to the bodice part of the dress, it's hard to tell in the picture but it's got pockets!
Back on my BS for #MarchThroughYourStash with my #ClosetCorePatterns Elodie Wrap Dress. I've made the bodice and the skirt, and today I'm working on the waist belt.

A tabby cat sniffs a child's outfit of purple stretch pants and a pink tee shirt decorated with unicorns and rainbows.
I put together this cute little outfit for my niece, using remnants. Bearcat approves.

A person with a shaved head, bright blue hair, and teal glasses is wearing an unfinished handmade shirt. The shirt features black-and-white vertical stripes on most of the body, with one sleeve made from a bright blue fabric with a swirling pattern. The other sleeve is not yet attached, exposing a black undershirt. The person is also wearing blue floral pants and has matching blue nail polish. They are standing in front of a plain white wall, smiling slightly.
Having SO much fun with this #CameronShirt made from scraps that I'm wondering how hard it would be to buy the proper amount of fabric to do this on purpose? A little mad at (1/??)

Fortunately I still have enough for some more back pieces and I've kinda recovered.
Onward!
