Fabric Hoarding Challenge

~ 29 Sewing projects and counting [7 crafts (pictured below, pile on the right), 22 dresses/skirts (three piles on the left)]

~ 7 Knitting/Crafting projects

The main goal is to get through the majority of the sewing projects by the end of July 2014 (start is the end of Aug).  I doubt I will be able to keep the number of projects down being too close to a fabric store with coupons but so long as I pay my bills on time, there shouldn't be too much trouble with that (right?).  ...Then again, I will also be trying to decease my caffeine intake as well!

Update 31 July 2014: Well...I certainly missed that deadline, making only a small dent in my fabric stash!  I think I will adjust the deadline to the end of the year.  Title change to reflect what the true challenge description.
