Sandrea, what a neat idea to use small pieces of cloth, no matter how small they are! I have used fine tulle as a top layer for a couple projects, and it is great for FMQ, too. Thanks for sharing your information. Now and then it is soothing to do a fun project "just because." :thumbup:
|
This sounds great. Show us a picture please..

[QUOTE=Sandrea I had to teach a class at the American Sewing Guild Sewing Retreat in Sebring last month and I taught the stitch and slash pillow and that was how I ended up with all the pretty discarded pieces.
Sandrea, I am curious to know..........what is a stitch and slash pillow? Inquiring minds want to know.:) |
I think of you guys every time I sweep off the dining room table and throw an armful of scraps into the trash. As interesting as this kind of thing sounds, I just don't have it in me to save everything. Too much stuff actually is stressful for me. This does sound like a really fun project to do at a workshop or something. Perhaps in a few years when I retire and have more time to call my own, I'll change my tune

I too have trouble throwing even small pieces away. I am glad I read this today, I need a back for a scarp quilt and this is what I am going to try. Thanks.

I save tiny pieces and sometimes I throw large pieces away. My mood goes from thrifty to get it out of my sight each time I clean my sewing room.
|
I have been sewing my small scraps but without the foundation...it's called "making fabric" but most of the time I discard anything 1/2"
|
What a great idea.

meeetoooo! I was cleaning up my sewing room today and had trouble throwing pieces out. I'd be brave and say I don't really need it; but then I hover over the trash can, my hands won't release it lol but good idea, think I'll give it a try. think I saw something like this long while ago where you put a layer of tulle also
