    I came across this old fabric. I have a whole bin full of it. The older kids are taking turns ironing it while I cut into 5 inch charms, 3 inch squares and saving a pile to run through the die cutter for tumblers. Some of the fabric is to thin to use, so I'll just get rid of it. But, it is fun to be playing with all these old fabrics.

    one of my helpers!!!

    A few years ago, someone gave them to me. :) thanks. They are all so old, it's crazy. I'm figuring, I better get started on something with these. I think I've had them for about 3-4 years now and never even touched them.

    You have some nice colors there. I wish my kids would help me with ironing, I hate doing that. Have fun with your scraps.
