The Art of Choosing: Reader Fabric Stashes

The Art of Choosing is a series discussing fabric, color, and the fabric selection process. The purpose of this series is to arm you with the tools and knowledge to build your own color schemes for your sewing and quilting projects. You'll dive deep into your stash, organize it, and hopefully look at your fabrics in a new way.

Looking to get your fabric stash and sewing room more organized? Check out my new series: Sewing Room Organization Series

Reader Fabric Stashes

    Nothing like seeing a bunch of fabric collections to send me into serious stash envy. And I have more than enough fabric!

    Seeing all the organization is fabulous...let me ask a question. I am in the progress of creating a board that you could fold your fabric around. I have seen the plastic boards and they are wonderful, but I want something more affordable. Would this benefit anyone?? Thanks for your input.

    Question! How do you determine what goes into your fabric stash and what goes into your scrap basket? Maybe it's a silly question, but I'm just beginning to build a stash and have been collecting fat quarters. When I'm in a bee, I use bits and pieces of this and that fat quarter to make the various monthly blocks, so not many are whole anymore. At what point would they go into the scrap bin and out of the "stash"? I'm sure it is individual for everyone, but I'd like to hear what other people do about it. Thanks!

    Trim the jagged edges of the rip or hole with embroidery scissors. Lay the silk on a flat surface with the right side of the silk facing you. Thread a needle with one-ply silk thread in as close a color match as you can manage. Tie a knot at the end of the thread. Thanks a lot.
