Stash busting

In an attempt to give my non-existent mojo a good shove I've resorted to stash busting.  Not only does this get creative juices flowing, this is also a good way to clear bulky fabric out of the cupboard and maybe even get a usable garment or two.

First up is a pair of track pants from KS 3678 which I've made a few times before.  I like this pattern because there are no side seams, the front and back are cut in one piece.  They are close fitting and not baggy so they don't feel too scummy to wear around the house.  The black fleece was leftover from a project I made about 4 years ago so these are free.

Second up is a dress made from another frankenpattern of my TNT long sleeve tshirt KS 3338 combined with KS3633 dress pattern, which is also now a TNT.  Both of these are altered to fit my shape.  I've also added the self-drafted cowl from an Australian Stitches magazine from a few years ago.  The Stevie Nicks inspired red panne was an offcut I bought at the op shop for $1 so this is an almost free garment.


It has worked to some extent as I managed to trace a pattern from  BWOF 05/12 and even managed to cut it out.  I don't have any white thread I (how did I run out of that??) or the right length zipper, so it's stalled until I have 5 or 6 hours free to wait in line at Spotlight. 

Thank you to everyone for the good wishes.  I feel better this week, but I really want to go home.  I have a few job irons in the fire so I hope it will happen soon.
