3 out 1 in, The Rules

15/01/2014      Fabrics, haberdashery and tools      12 Comments

Ik kreeg wat vragen over wat juist de regels zijn voor deze uitdaging. Na diep nadenken zijn dit de regels. Als er nog iets onduidelijk is, laat het maar horen.
// I recieved some questions about the rules of this challenge. So I gave it a deep thought and these are the rules. If there is still something unclear, please let me know. The English rules can be found below.  
Basis regel
Als je 3 stoffen gebruikt, verkocht of weggegeven hebt mag je 1 nieuwe stof kopen. Zoals ik hier vertelde mag je het aanpassen naar je eigen stash, 1 out 1 in, 5 out 1 in,… 

“Out”
De stof is “out” wanneer

  • je het project waarvoor je gekocht had gemaakt is or
  • je minstens 3/4 gebruikt hebt
  • Coupons langer dan 3 meter: als je ten minste 1 meter gebruikt
  • als je voor minstens 1 meter lengte stoffen gebruikt uit je restbak

Uitzonderingen 

  • Voering, tussenvoering en consoorten tellen niet mee.
  • Als je stof te kort hebt om je project af te werken, maar enkel als het exact dezelfde stof is als waar je mee bezig was.
  • Als je naar een naai(blog)meet gaat waar een swap is mag je maximum het aantal stoffen mee naar huis nemen als je zelf weggegeven hebt.  Deze uitzondering mag je 2 keer gebruiken. Of je kan ook gezellig swappen met vrienden maar ook hiervoor gelden dezelfde regels.
  • 1x per seizoen heb je een “wildcard” je mag dus 4x per jaar zomaar 1 stofje extra kopen. Of de 4 keren opsparen en in 1 keer gebruiken.
  • Je mag kiezen of je gekregen stoffen als “in” telt. Wanneer je aan iedereen gaat vragen om je nu stoffen te geven, dan is het valsspelen ;). Enkel spontane cadeautjes tellen. Ik tel die van mij  bij de “in”-stapel.

Hier kan je hier inschrijven voor de nieuwsbrief
//Ground Rule
When you use, sell or give away 3 fabrics you can buy 1 new. Or the personal goal you set, like I explaned in this video
“Out”
Fabric is “out” when:

  • you made the project you bought it for or
  • you used at least 3/4’th of the fabric
  • Pieces longer then 3 yards: when you used at least 1 yard
  • If you make something form scrap pieces and all together they are at least 1 yard long

Exceptions

  • Lining and interfacing don’t count
  • If you have too few fabric to finish your project but only if it is exactly the same fabric.
  • if you go to a sewing(blog)meet and there is a fabric swap. You can only take home as much as you brought with you. This exception can be used 2 times. Of course you can also swap among friends, but the same rules apply.
  • Once per season you can use a wildcard. 4 time a year you can buy and extra fabric or you can buy 4 extra fabrics at once
  • You can choose if you count gifted fabrics. If you ask everyone to give you fabrics it’s cheating 😉 Only spontaneous gifts count for this exception.

      Het zijn 4 stofjes in totaal eh Angelle 😉 En voering, als je dat niet hebt zit je bij zoveel project strop, dus ik dacht, ik zal mijn goede kant eens laten zien 🙂

    Great idea I know I buy fabrics when I see them and my aim had been to start making what I intended to more so these are great rules to follow.
