storage worth stealing: files to fabric

I love office supplies...almost as much as I love fabric. So when I was no longer using this office file folder unit, I couldn't bear to toss it. Instead, I turned it on end and began using it as a fabric organizer. Now I can keep all my current project's fabric on hand. No more digging through the cupboard for somthing. I love it!

{more vintage linen love}

I love vintage linens. I love reclaiming them, giving them a bath in lavender soap and ironing them. Turning in them in to these sweet tote bags, though, makes my heart smile!

{springtime fabric love}

 

There sat six beautiful glass dishes filled with six beautiful colors of dye.

All the Easter eggs had been dyed and I could not bear to toss those

luscious colors down the drain - so I grabbed an ice cube tray! I filled each

cube with some of those yummy colored dyes and popped them in the freezer.

Today I thawed those cubes out, grabbed some fabric and in just a few short

minutes I had these beautifully dyed remnants. I love this dipped dyed method

because you wind up with a gorgeous stripe of colors! Enjoy!
