Scrap Happy January 2023

another year to try to reduce the endless collection of scraps

scraps from the Indonesian ikat were just hanging around so I patched them together for some small bags

they were handy for Christmas gifts

lined with the same fabric as the jacket – only the zippers were new

Rosie wanted one for her spinning project

the warp threads on the handwoven fabric were left on the ends

I twisted the bundles where they had come loose, rolled and stitched a short length of the fabric to make zipper pulls

they were too heavy for the small bags but will come in handy eventually

for anyone who doesn’t know – Ann Wood is starting the 100 day fabric book challenge this year on January 20th

I had to think about it for a few days but now the fabric background pages are cut from a variety of scraps

and an assortment of the smallest bits and pieces are waiting

I guess I’m a go – of course there are still a few days, I can always change my mind

it is interesting to see what can be accomplished in 15 minutes a day

15 minutes that just drifts away but can be meaning-full
