Even though we're not sewing with a strictly defined theme this week, the stash busting theme does lend itself to some fun community participation opportunities: a stash busting game! We'll be tracking our progress this week at The Sewing Circle, so be sure to check out this thread.
So how does this all work? As a motivation to dive into that stash and get sewing, we're going to award points to our creations sewn THIS WEEK based on these guidelines:
Don't forget to include photos!
At the end of the week, we'll total our points up and see who really tore through their sewing room. And of course, the Top Stash Buster gets a prize. It's all honor system, but I know you all are a trust-worthy crowd.
Ok, let's get sewing!

Very pretty!
Phew, you are all so fast! I'm still in the planning phase ... and I am sure that I will not be able to do all of the challenges and to finish them all in one week (wipes sweat from her brow).
I'll make a 50ies outdoor jacket from a German pattern magazine from a greenblue thick wool flanell.
The flannel has been in my stash for at least 3 years and I never made the pattern before.
So, let's see:
2.5 yards of fabric -> 12.5 points
does lining count as separate yardage? If yes:
2.5 yards of lining -> 12.5 points
"new" pattern -> 3 points
"old" fabric -> 10 points
pattern is in my collection since ... forever -> 10 points
I am not sure that I get the SCRAP-part. If I integrate for example a different scrap piece of lining or fabric which is a leftover from another project, is that what you mean?
This is the pattern I am going to use.
