My stash reduction seems to be progressing slowly, with a few small pieces being made but it's only been a few days since I've started. I am revisiting some patterns I bought years ago. This outfit called for knits for both the top and bottom. The top required a zip. Perhaps, if I'd sewn it then I would have installed one. But we now know most knits don't require a zip. Also the top is cut like the very popular S4076. I used a sueded cotton for the skirt. I love everything about this outfit. I have about a 1.25yds of this fabric left and will make B4987 (Following caveat #3 of my previous post). This pattern is also out of print  but it also had some great reviews on PatternReview.

so admiring everyone who is committed to stash reduction. i need to index my stash and see what is there and then start using it. but i can't "call" it stash reduction, because i never follow through. Kinda like i have a "nutrition plan" not a "diet"!

You have a very elegant style. And you are beating me solidly by volume out ... smiles.

Very pretty set, I love that paisley. Using the longer skirt dresses it up, too.

I like this styles as well. The simplicity knit top is one of my favorite. I've made it several times; it never disappoints.
