Taming the Stash Monster
Control your stash and make it work effectively for you!
Get your needlework stash under control with our Group Correspondence Course Taming the Stash Monster!
Is the Stash Monster taking over your closet, room… house? Do you feel stalled with a box full of UFO’s (UnFinished Objects) and a stash of beautiful projects, threads, canvases, fabrics, beads, and more? First, define your preferences so that you can decide what YOU want to keep in your stash (and what you can remove).
Three ways of clearing your stash are given, depending on how much stash you need to remove. Resources are provided for donating or selling eliminated items. You’ll learn the requirements for archival storage, ways to prevent or solve stash problems such as insects, mildew, and fading.
This course will help you develop a purchasing strategy and an uncomplicated, easy-to-maintain inventory system to keep you from buying expensive books, projects, canvases, or threads that you already own. This course will make your stash work more effectively for you!
“This correspondence course helped all of us in the Fort Wayne Chapter get a better handle on managing our Stitches stashes both now and moving forward into the future. Highly recommend!” – Susan Mol, Student
