I always buy way too much fabric for most projects and then I have these leftovers that I can’t throw away and don’t know what to do with. Since I have been cleaning and organizing, I pulled out a bunch of my leftover fabric and fringe. I really need to figure out how to use this.
These pieces. (left to right ) 1. LR Drape Topper and bedskirt in Mstr. Bdrm. 2. Pillow 3. Table skirt LR, Pillows, Drape Topper Mstr. Bdr. 4. Upholstery on settee in Mstr. Bdrm. 5. Comforter in Guest Bdrm.
6. Pillows 7. Drape Topper in Family/Breakfast Room 8. Drapes in Family Room and Guest Bdrm. 9. Pillows 10. Pillows
Tons of fringe leftovers from pillows, table toppers and table runners.
#10 piece of fabric hasn’t been used a lot and the color is perfect with these patterns for the familyroom.
Exactly the same camel/gold color as the paid pillow
and since that same plaid is the topper for the drapes, then this could be used again in the family/breakfast room.
Ok, how about a table runner. Plenty to make one and I have a fabulous piece of fringe that is just big enough for the ends, so why not. It is a really pretty silk fabric.
Simply changing out the bow ties it all together.
Ok, this I like, now what to do with the1 1/2 yards that I have left and all the other fabrics? Maybe a couple of pillows.
Another possibility is the plaid fabric that tops the drapes. I made a table topper from part of the remnants.
This is another runner I have that works with this color family. I can use it for a change too,
Ok, let’s be honest here, the runner is really pretty and it looks amazing, so is the table topper, however on a day to day basis, we eat all of our meals here, so I will probably keep it much more simple. The rag rug runner is fun and the colors work great. Plus, it is so easy to just slide over at meal time and put the placemats down. The runner will probably be used in the dining room more than here.
However, it is nice to have options and changes available.
Several have asked about my New Year’s goal to save an extra $100 a month. No, I don’t have anything in mind that I want to spend it on, I just need to manage my blessings better. I realized that I do think about a larger purchase, however it’s those little $20 ones that add up. I have so much and am always trying to find a place to store it, so instead of buying new, I need to use what I have.
So how about you, are you using what you have?
