When you enter my sewing room, it is obvious that there is a LOT of fabric around the room. Cubbies and drawers and shelves and boxes are filled and stacked high with neatly folded pieces. This virtual rainbow is of all sorts of fabrics, from light cottons to fleece to heavy upholstery. To some, it seems chaotic, but to me, it's my sanctuary.

What is not as obvious is that much of my stash is "re-purposed" fabric - materials that are samples, remnants, or scraps, which are usually tossed out as being "unusable". I use 99% of my fabrics, right down to the odd scraps and selvage edges. Totes and purses take on an interesting stripe, and scrap pincushions are adorable. It's more work to create your own fabric, but it's very rewarding when it's finished!
