Tutorial: Old Glory lace and trim wall hanging

This Old Glory flag wall hanging has a vintage-y, scrappy charm.  You can make one out of your fabric and trim scraps.  A piece of blue fabric with lace and button embellishments mimics the field of blue & stars, and the strips are made from strips of lace, trim, and scrap fabric.  Go to Think Crafts for the tutorial.

Monday Musings: My Fabric Stash is Judging Me (A Love-Hate Relationship)

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
