Several folks asked what I planned to do with a piece of
really cute fabric I got a few weeks ago, part of a five-pieces-for-a-dollar deal.
And of course, I had no idea at the time. I just knew it
looked like our Zoë.
Recently I ran across a picture (yes, on Pinterest!) of a
cloth basket hung by the sewing machine to catch scraps and clippings. Perfect,
I said, all I need is something like an embroidery hoop to stiffen the upper
edge. The next time I went garaging I found one. (Thank you, garage sale gods.)
Even better, it was free. I pulled another free-box piece of fabric out of the
stash and voila – a scrap catcher!
The scrap of ribbon for the loop, free. Button, part of a huge bagful that cost fifty cents, so essentially free. I used about half the
puppy fabric, so a ten cent project.
This morning I printed up some new business cards for both
this blog and my publishing business. I've never had a business card holder, so
back to Pinterest I went for ideas, and half an hour later the project was
done. More of the puppy fabric
lined with a scrap of this.
I'm going to love pulling this out when I need a card.
And there’s still some of the puppy fabric left.
Wonder what else I can get out of it?

Is the leftover puppy fabric big enough for a jaunty little neck scarf for Zoe? I think that would look splendid!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty small!
DeleteYes a scarf for Zoe would be super cute!
ReplyDeleteI might be able to make the world's smallest Super Dog cape!
DeleteCute fabric and I love your use of it so far. I agree, a scarf for Zoe!
ReplyDeletePocketses! The puppies would make great patch pockets on a cotton skirt, one that has been re-purposed or upcycled, of course.
ReplyDeleteCute pockets might almost be enough to get me to wear a skirt!
DeleteGlad to see you are keeping busy!
ReplyDeleteAlways! Not always productive, but always busy!
DeleteEnough to make an eye glass case? Hard to tell about the size of what is left.
DeleteCould be! I'll have to think about that!
