Still cleaning out closets; finding all sorts of interesting things I had forgotten about. Years ago, I had spun cotton and wove on indigo dyed warp yardage to make a costume to wear while I did demos at the local plantation. The plantation grew both cotton and indigo--so it was perfect to show case their crops. Fast forward---- there is yardage in the closet bin. Why not do something with it?
I pulled it out and cut into tea towels! Great gifts for sure! interesting to see my spinning then and now. I can spin a fine thread now; then, it was a nice yarn but little thicker and bumpy.
I can see how to use this yardage. Some things I'm just placing in the give away bin--off it will go to someone who can maybe make use of it.
I also found a bag of leather pieces (why did I have this bag) I don't know--it had a price of $5 so must have been my bargain mind thinking I could do something with this!!
Also, found a bag of fur pieces! Go figure! I still have a longing to sew the pieces together for a pillow. , I love running my fingers through these small fur pieces—yes, a pillow would be fun!
In one bin I found this yard of woven fabric and one booster pillow.
The woven fabric is from 1/4” strips laid in the warp one piece at a time, in order to keep the pattern. It’s time consuming to cut and place in order.
Wrap the pillow and sew in the ends. Ta da! More items repurposed!
Back to the see what else is in the closet bin!
