It's time for me to stop buying fabric and to use up some of the stash.
Today I have decided to start bysorting the scraps, throw some out and to search for ideas online to use up the rest.
Well I have cut out four children's purses, a sunhat and a tooth fairy pillow.. Are you the same - when I look at examples on Pinterest I admire the colour combinations the sewers have achieved but when it come to looking through my pile of bits nothing seems blend?
Although I have made sunhats before this time proved a bit of a nightmare as I went ahead and started cutting out pieces without actually measuring if I had enough fabric. My wish to use two fat quarters turned in to using three fat quarters.. To finish the brim I had to cut out one layer at an angle and shorten the width. I was working from memory when I could get a sunhat out of less fabric - my tired brain had not registered that the child has grown a lot!
Here are links to patterns that I have decided to use:
Elbe Sorrento Bucket Hat.
Children's purses (Noodlehead)
Pattern Weights (Shiny Happy World)
