I have fabric scraps from the 70s and I inherited a piece of Damask from my Grandmother, probably 1900. I won't use it but I think about putting that and some napkins and lace things in a shadow box. Glad you found your Christmas fabric. rene

Like Rene I found some material inherited. Mine is burlap.
I think I will make some craft bags. Small bad that I will embroidery on that says thing like -- potatoes, rice etc. I don't know if any of
you remember when the potato sack that you put the potatoes in
made from pantyhose but I though I would do some of those to go
with my fall decorations.

I bought fabric 5 or 6 years ago to make a comforter for my DD, and am finally getting around to making it! Of course, she's already told me she doesn't want it anymore, since her tastes have changed, but I am making it anyway! Actually, I have made a few changes in our original ideas that I think/hope she'll like.
I can't say really why I never made it before, since I have made others for her during that time. bggs

I didn't FIND this, I knew where it was but just didn't remember the quanity. I had the furniture reupholstered close to 20 years ago. I had bought extra because of a one way pattern in the print. They had the excess rolled up when they returned the items & i never knew what was left over.

One thing covered from it was a love seat. It has always been used, naps, watching TV Flat!! There have been 3 changes of the foam in the cushion in it's life. Last year I used Neufoam. High price, big mistake. Except for the very ends, it was practically flat in a few months. We have one sofa that has one cushion for the whole sofa. I thought why not try that for the little love seat. I wanted the best foam I could get...real foam. I price the good stuff, the green stuff. Kinda scratch my head at the price because I want the thickest too. I want the 5" one. I decided to wait & use a 50% off coupon at Joann's. Got one for their moonlight madness sale. At $39.99 a yard for this, it was over $60 for 60 inches. The coupon was a blessing. I had more than enough fabric in storage to cover this big cushion. It barely gives when you sit down. Took a nap on it today & it barely sinks at all. The 5" thick is nice too since we are tall. It made a difference when I sat down. But about the only people who sit on it don't live here.

I was pleased to rescue the little love seat without having to have it completely redone or having to make a slip cover.

Those jumpers I've been making are from fabric I bought 4 years ago after Christmas. I found a piece yesterday that's scarcrows and thanksgiving looking stuff. I'm off work until the 28th so I may make those double placemat things out of it. I've got some things to make for a co-worker and the "diva's" b'day outfit. I'll take pictures later.

I have boxes of finished squares for Christmas, a blue set, and some for GD that I never put togerht. I wonder if I ever will/ To be honest I've found I like making the squares anbut not finishing anything.

Mother has a dress that she started for me around 1974/75 and I out grew it before she finished it. We ought to see if the Diva can wear it. I'm pretty sure she still has a piece of t-shirt knit that has bottle caps on I.E. Dr Pepper, Pepsi, RC Cola etc, that was bought in 1976 on a trip to Ohio. AHHHH the goodies I will one day inherit, LOL.

Hung on to a couple of yards of leftover tie dye stuff long enough that it's now back in style. Son, visiting from out of state had once worn shorts made from it, and we chuckled as the grand daughter squealed in delight at having a Nanna with such cool fabric! LOL.
