A GOOD PRODUCTIVE DAY

I started to title this post Don’t Leave me Just Yet lol! I’ve been soooo busy with family, church activities & first one thing & another, the sewing room has been neglected along with much needed ongoing projects I finally finished my chicken print apron ohhh it’s so cute lol!

love love love the polka dots I choose for the trim & the ruffleI’ve been organizing fabric & well lets just say there’s no end to the fabric so there’ll be other ways to display it for sure lol, anyways , I seen on pinterst where you fold fabric with a quilting ruler to make it flatter, taking up less space ,so I began to give this a try, how cute is that, each of these are a good 1 –1& 1/2 yds

  fold your fabric on the wide end 

lay your ruler on the edge

proceed to fold

the  slide ruler out the end & fold in half 

fold in half again & add to  your stack

 

fabrics that have been cut can also be folded this way

 

what about small pieces

they work too! they will be smaller when folded in half but looks great in a basket or scrapbook bin , whatever you wish to display them in  how cute & neat do they look on the shelf

I have way way too much fabric to try to do this  method in one day lol!so I ended playing in the fabrics with the scraps, what to do with those scrapes? why add them to my 2 & 1/2 inch square collection lol!

now to organize some lace & catch up on my quilt challenges

on the road again in the morning,to Mississippi with my pastors wife, we will be going to her sisters to check out the church  her daughter will be getting married in this Nov. to take pictures, measure pews  & all the fun stuff that goes with preparing to set up a wedding, I have  a lot more to show you  what’s happening in the sewing room, so hang in there with me lol!
