Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
If you want to donate a prize, please let me or Tuesday know and also include if you want the prize to be for the top scorers or for something else.
Stash game will start December 5th and run through January 5th.
Fabric purchased before the Stash Game and received during the Stash Game counts as stash, not as negative points. This includes fabric ordered, but not paid for (ie, from a co-op).
Fabric purchased during Stash Game, but not received until after the Stash game, counts against you.
Sewing from personal stash counts, but sewing from business stash does not count, only if you differentiate.
+8 per yard sewn from stash
+4 per yard sold from stash
+4 per yard given away from stash
+4 per yard thrown away
-8 per yard bought during Stash Game
+4 per yard sewn from fabric purchased during stash game
+1 per type of notion used (interfacing, dye, fabric scrap, buttons, snaps, binding, bias tape, ribbing, rick-rak, zippers, stabilizer, etc.) Thread does not count as a notion!
+3 for ufo's
+1 for sewing something from your scrap basket into something, but no points for throwing away or donating.
Stretch lace counts as yardage.
+1 per for accessorising (matching hat with dress, etc.)
+1 for Charity
+1 per hoop for machine embroidery
Dying: Dye counts for +1 per garment, as if it was a notion.
Mending: No points for mending.
Quilts: If you quilt/bind/ aka finish a quilt during the stash game then the following would apply:
1) Backing counts as yardage
2) Batting counts as yardage
3) Binding counts as notion
4) Pre-patched fabric counts as yardage (this includes quilt tops completed before the beginning of the Stash Game as well as cheater pre-patch fabric)
5) Quilt pieced during the Stash Game counts as yardage.
Swaps: Receiving finished product in exchange for stash sewing does not count against you. Receiving yardage/notions/patterns for stash sewing DOES count against you.
Thrift store purchases: If you buy an article of clothing to turn into something else, then you calculate points based on the yardage the pattern requires.
Sew n shows: posting and sns of an item is worth 2 points per item, even if they are in the same thread. Accessories for an outfit are counted as part of the outfit for these points.
