A Treasure on the Street - What People Throw Away

Today I've been given this HUGE bagful of fabric samples! 

My boyfriend's colleague found those on the street in a suitcase next to the garbage bins. They are brand new and high quality. I'm very excited concidering all the things I could make with them!

So much fabric! It will last me a lifetime!

I'm thinking about patching those together to make a shirt. They are regular t-shirt material, very soft and light.

I'm going to use these as decoration on my brooches. I make portrait brooches and they'll do great as collars for my little ladies!

With these, I think I'll make zipper pouches, using less pretty looking facric samples to make the linen.

So pretty!!!

I'd better be going, I have so much to do! :D

Quilting

Since I got my sewing machine I try to make as many different things as I  can and I try to find new projects that I think will be fun.

So today I thought, what about quilting? I have so many different fabrics, some of them are 'old', I bought them 6 years ago when I started to collect blythe dolls and I wanted to make doll clothes. Some of them were a gift from my mom, sponsoring as she says, that she brought back from the USA. I thought it would be a great way to display all of the fabrics I own and keep track of them.

I did the quilt really fast, so it's not really even, but I like it anyways. I just wanted to see if quilting was hard. I don't know if I did it right but it was not that hard. It's really exciting to see all the pieces coming together and making a big piece :p

I don't know yet what I'll do with it but I'm just happy I gave it a try :p

I also made a bunch of felt portraits in frames. I'm quite happy with this one

It's the first time I make one with this style, I'll do it again! It was fun and I like how it turned out!

Now I'm off to make some soup, yay!
