Summer Stash-a-thon for Sew Your (Pattern) Stash

Are you ready to really get sewing through your stash?  I am introducing fun motivators to work through your patterns double-time this summer (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere).  I hope you will sew along!

The Summer Stash-a-thon will run from June 1 through (US) Labor Day in conjunction with the Sew Your (Pattern) Stash Facebook group.  Sew as many of your stash patterns as you can during this time - even (especially) more than once per pattern.  Then link up and/or edit the file in the Pattern Stash Group for each item.  After Labor Day, I will announce the sewing-est sewists and feature a random winner or two from the link up.  I'm not very bold when it comes to asking for prizes/giveaways, so I'll probably gather a few goodies from my own stash (of non-patterns) to send out to winners.  We will see what happens.

Also, as a heads-up, in July and August I am hosting a 1 Pattern:3 Ways blog tour.  A fun group of sewing bloggers are lined up to feature different ways they sew one pattern multiple times.  It's a great way to get extra mileage out of your stash patterns.  We will have another link up for that - but you'll be able to link those patterns with the Summer Stash-a-thon as well.  What pattern will you plan to make three ways?!

Summer Stash-a-thon Link-Up Guidelines

1. Link any sewing project you have sewn from June 1, 2015 through September 7, 2015 using a pattern (pdf, pattern, or tutorial) you owned prior to June 1, 2015.  (yes - we are opening this link up to patterns we added to our stash!)
