I wanted to be surprised by the content of the bin so I just random chose this one. This is only a portion of its content. Some of the fabric remnants are probably too small to make most things:
There is wool gabardine, silk/cotton voile, white cotton/poly poplin, grey stretch poly women, lilac poly satin, red silk noir, navy taffeta, charcoal cotton denim, navy wool crepe, pale yellow cotton poly (lining from a thrifted skirt), green poly camo, black cotton/poly poplin.
I have some initial ideas for some of the fabrics:
 |
| Pans for my son? |
 |
| Beige gabardine trousers for me? |
 |
| Lightweight fabrics for blouses for me? |
Oooh, lots of lovely choices in just your first stash bin...looking forward to seeing what you turn out both sewing wise and bin wise over the next few months.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz! I am not forcing myself to make something from every single fabric in the bin, but at least half of them. I want to make a significant 'dent' into the stash of the bin one fabric at a time! ;-)
DeleteLooks very promising! Good Luck! and look forward to seeing what you make.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! Hopefully I'll make some useful stuff from this lot!
DeleteSuch a good variety ... my problem is that I just plain like fabric. I have a hard time deciding what to use it for because I don't want to use it up. But then nothing ever gets done. Your way works better :)
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand what you are saying. I just have too much fabric and this is a rational systematic way to use it up!
