Scrap Heap Challenge
Okay, this isn't really about a challenge...just a personal challenge that I am facing. And before you get all worried for me, I'm talking about fabric here, it's not that serious.
This weekend I decided to go through my scrap fabric to weed out the really small and old stuff that I know I'll never use. I keep my scraps organized in plastic shoe boxes from The Container Store. It works well for me and I've been doing it this way for years. The problem is, after a while, you just get too many of one color to fit in the box. The good part is that every now & then you just have to go through them and get rid of some.
These bits come in every size from a few inches to a yard. Here's the challenge...what do I do with them?? There's a place near me called Creation Station that will take donations, but only the bigger pieces. I'm considering listing packs of the smaller pieces in my shop for not much more than the cost of shipping. What do you think? I'm open to suggestions. Perhaps a giveaway?
At least my scraps are neat and tidy again, and fitting in their color-coded boxes. It's a lucky thing too, or I couldn't have gotten these...
There's always somewhere to put more fabric.
