Embroidery Floss & Scrap Storage

As I was looking for some fabric in the sewing room the other day, I realized that I forgot to post the final home for the ever-growing embroidery floss collection. This large glass jar was a gift many years ago and has housed a lot of items in that time.

 The most recent collection stored here were fabric scraps that required much larger storage solutions - the fabrics that I have already used in the construction of the Over the Rainbow 30s Dear Jane. It won't be long and I'll have all those lovely pieces and bits joining the soon to be colorized reproduction collection and I can hardly wait!

Happy sewing & stash organization,

Printing Quick Projects & Organizing the Sewing Room

 

Good afternoon everyone! I was excited to see the US numbers increasing in the stats this weekend.  💕 I've been clearing out the sewing room after my DH added a couple storage options to my room. I have been sorting, colorizing and moving fabrics around while printing some Alice Caroline Liberty of London Sew Along patterns for a friend's gift bag and related goodies. 

My dearest, oldest friend has been waiting so patiently as I heal from shoulder and multiple wrist surgeries; it's taken far longer than I could have imagined, truly.  They're not a fan of mixing prints or charm projects, so I'll have to pull a 💙 solid, maybe some of the light, yarn-dyed Speckled Blue Essex Linen for the dotty fabric? I'm just not sure yet. 

I don't have enough yardage for a full bag with insert(s) or tool bag, so I'm hoping something like the X fabric will also work for her. It's been so long, maybe it will be more appealing at this point. 

That is what happens when purchasing yardage is not a priority, I suppose. Now that I'm getting to projects other than the Rainbow 30s Dear Jane, I have been purchasing larger cuts. What can I say? Live and learn. 

Happy Sewing & Organizing,

Heather
