Pattern from "Knit Two Together" by Mel Clark |
Euroflax Sport Weight 100% linen with mother-of-pearl beads. |
This is the first buttonhole I've made since getting my Bernina fixed. So relieved that the memory feature worked! |
This bag was made from scraps from this project:
Curtains for the laundry room. Excuse the poor pictures. New phone camera...:-( |
I used eyelet fabric for the top, so it could gather nicer than the canvas check print below. |
I made these curtains from a large scrap piece pants from this project:
The eyelet scrap came from the Frida Kahlo challenge blouse:
The original cream checked fabric was a recycled long curtain I got for next to nothing at FABMO. The eyelet was a piece I bought last Spring from Hart's Fabric. The rosettes from the original eyelet blouse were scrap pieces from another shirt. I don't know about other sewists, but I hate throwing out my scraps. I read on another blog that we should just throw them out so it doesn't clutter our workspace...yes and no. I think even the tiny pieces can be used for stuffing or a fabric collage that could eventually be turned into a new piece of wearable art. What do others do with their scraps?
Happy sewing!
