She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:10
Sew Crafty Friday
I had good intentions this week. I wanted to start sewing some skirts for myself and the girls. However, when I went into my closet to get the fabric, this is what stared back at me. Mind you, this is only a corner of the mess...um, I mean fabric. I, in good conscious, could not sit down to sew knowing I had such a mess of fabric in the closet.
Let the organization begin. ;0) First the blues....
and then the pinks.
I have a lot more done, and a lot more to go, but I didn't want to bore you with each color cube. ;0)
I did find two fabrics that I want to use for my skirts. I will have to line this one, as it's kind of sheer.
And this one. I normally use cheapo fabrics, but my beloved has been trying to convince me to use "good" fabric for my skirts, so they can flow better. We'll see how they come out.
I am declaring next week sewing and garage week. I plan to declutter the garage and have a sewing marathon. I'm hoping the girls can help me cut out some patterns and fabric, and I can sew, sew, sew. They are growing like bean poles, and some new skirts are desperately needed.
In my quest of organization, I found an apron pattern that I had purchased. I completely forgot about it. It's on my to do list. ;0)

I like your fabric organization. I bet that's helpful.
Love that skirt fabric! Thanks for hosting!
A garage marathon...Ooh I need to have about 50 of those. LOL. I've got about 6 years worth of clutter in my garage. Isn't that terrible. Take pictures when you start. Maybe it will motivate me to get out there and do the same! ":-)
Listen to your sweetie and start using some good fabrics! You'll find your garments will last a lot longer. I would bet you can find some great cottons on sale now that it is the end of the season. I have nice fabric, but I never, ever pay full price. Someone always has a sale.
I love the way you organize your fabric by color. I think that will really inspire you to keep working. I do that with my scraps (they are in various baskets), but since I don't have a huge stash of full pieces I divide those up by type.
One thing I do is keep a notebook where I list my fabrics and how much I have of each. This way, when I take out a pattern, I know what pieces I might be able to use.
Hi Shereen,
I love the Emmeline apron. I can wait to see it finished. BTW I've been reading Meg's blog for a while now. She is a very creative lady.
I hope to post a diaper cake a made with a friend of mine, last week. I'm waiting for her to send me the pics so I can post them in my blog.
take care,
g
I *LOVE* the apron pattern! Very cute :-)
I admire your organizing skills. Wish I had some :) Serious though, I love all the different fabics you have and I look forward to more crafts next week! Thanks for sharing and hosting.
The apron pattern is so cute! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
