Here is what I started with:
I thought that cutting the circles for a long-planned project might make them easier to store.
After:
As you can see, this is not the case. The volume was not reduced. I did, however, discover that I do not need to collect any more old pairs of jeans. I seem to have enough circles for what I want to do! More on that later, I have other things to finish before I really start in on this project.
In other news, I solved my "Katie Jump Rope" problem. What was that, you ask? Well, my MIL gave me a packet of nickles of that fabric line. The only problem was, I had nothing else like it. Also, I couldn't figure out anything cool to do with only 36 nickles. Then I had an idea, so I could justify buying more of the entire line. $130 later, I have more orange and brown prints than I ever thought I would! So much for saving money... In the process, I discovered two very cool online stores: Cia's Palette and Sew, Mama, Sew. Great modern prints which would be fantastic for kid's blankies!
Today I am pre-washing a lot of fabric for four future projects:
Phew, that's going to be a lot of ironing when it's done!
