So how many of you may have bought fabric for a project that you never finished? This is where that fabric ends up and you confined yards of great usable fabric in the material remnant fabric section so I always check this section and I pulled a couple things that I think you're really cool this is sort of an island fabric this is so fun and in a up cycle quill I can use something like this over a layer of a totally opposite color solid to get a really interesting texture there's upholstery fabric here so you've got a heavyweight fabric this is really durable I think this is a really cool upholstery fabric to so I would look at something like this this is a curtain that I could cut this up. This would be great fabric for almost anything or you could even embroider on this because it's a really good basic fabric so get it wash it, cut it up and you've got fabric that you can play within a solid table cloths tablecloths are fantastic and this one is probably made in the nineteen fifties,...

nineteen sixties and really strong inc the type of ink that they expect that does not fade so this is cotton so you can wash it you can either use it and then when you're done using it, you could just cut it up and make it into something else

I loved that the class gave me actionable ideas that I can use when I visit thrift stores. I shop for yarn and fabric for thrift stores, but had not thought of using clothes outside of their intended purposes.
