Wild Ginger

My ideas for the Stash Busters are coming a lot quicker that actual completed garments, so decided I would start with a new jacket using Wild Ginger software.  I only have a little over a metre in this really nice navy linen, so it will be a short jacket, maybe even short sleeves if thats what it takes to fit the material.  I have designed in a plain V neck, and there will be a zip opening, all things to save fabric.  It will be fun later to think up some ideas for detachable collars.  I don't know if I am happy to see that my measurements are almost the same as 3 years ago, damn I really are going to need to start dieting soon.

Stash Busters.  What a great idea from the ASG, something to get me motivated.  All you have to do is sew, sew, sew until September, the only limitation is that it has to be in your stash by March, not to mention it has to be something to wear, or accessorise Oh where to start?
