Fabric Scraps: The Small and Quiet Treasures...

7/7/2015

0 Comments

 
For those of us that sew, quilt or craft with any type of fabric, we ALL have those little pieces of fabric that start taking over our work area!!! When we add into the mix an individual that cannot throw ANYTHING away (yes, I am talking about me!) those piles start taking on a life of their own...

It was time I either got therapy to let them go or figure out a way to implement them into some great products! Of course I chose the latter, again CANNOT throw ANYTHING away!

The first thing that had to happen was an organization system that would be able to handle the mass of cotton growing at an astronomical rate...  Dollar Store here I come!!!  I found plastic show box containers that were perfect for the job, and yes we needed ALOT of them...  They were then sorted by the primary color grid and they now sit perfectly within my shelves for easy access!!!

It is a very strange process, when I get organized, I get designing... and then once the sewing starts, I get unorganized all over again...  I believe that if I cleaned my house the number of times I clean my craft room, dust would NEVER have a chance for survival!!!

OK back to the topic at hand... once I get organized I get designing....  I have seen some great ideas for scrap fabrics and I have come up with a few of my own!...

Once we can sit back and see what we have sitting around, the possibilities are endless! So take the time to just stand in your crafting area and be INSPIRED and start sewing and share them below... Remember our goal...

COVER YOUR WORLD IN FABRIC!!!
