Occasionally, I like to make....

my own fabric. Have you ever tried it. If not, all you do is

take a large square of white or unbleached cotton sheet or muslin. The

size of the square is up to you. For me, I generally use a

17inches X 17inches. This gives me plenty of room to make my

items small or large. Sometimes there is plenty left over for other

projects. After my square is cut - just take strips of fabric skinny or

fat and sew each strip down upon the square until the square is no

longer visible. I use scraps of fabric from many things.

(also be sure to catch all seams so there isnt anything missed).

Then just cut it like its fabric! You cannot mess it up.

My little sewing set is small. The square of fabric was half used up.

Also notice that I didnt hem anything. It is scrappy & fun!

So quick & easy.

All of these scraps are from the 80's. The ties are skinny

pink shoelaces that was in a prior garment of long ago.

The color was too pretty to trash. About time that I used them.

Everything fits neatly inside the bag. Maybe I should have lined

the bag? - nah. This way if I must fix the bag in the future

all I have to do is to sew a patch on top & it would be easy to

sew from the inside.

Try it - you just might like it!
