I love being able to feature some of you each week – so fun!! Thanks to everyone for making the link party successful each week. Here’s some that caught my eye:
The tunic top from Life in the Makings – she took a sewing project gone wrong and turned it into something great:
And speaking of tops, another great one is from Grits and Giggles – love it:
I wonder if this steering wheel cover will turn into an optical illusion when driving – super fun – from Helby’s Hatch:
I think everyone needs some Darth Vadar bean bags – you can get the pattern from Show Tell Share:
I loved this gathered quilt the other day when I saw it, so I was excited to see it in the link party – I’m a big fan of gathers! See how to make it over at The Train to Crazy:
Twin Dragonfly Designs made some crocheted eggs – aren’t they cute?!?!
Cute as a Fox made these flower cupcakes for a party – they look simple, cute, and delicious – perfect!
Check out the storage solution at THIS BLOG – love the bright colors:
Love the banquette seating over at Second Chance to Dream:
Banana Fudge Brownie Pie – need I say more?!? See the recipe over at Back For Seconds:
AND, the most viewed link….
Fabric Organization from Stars & Sunshine:
And speaking of, this is one of my big dilemmas – I have most of my fabric folded nicely, but I never know how to put it in order. Do I do colors, like she did in the above picture, or do I group it together in collections, which is what I currently do (like I have several from Amy Butler, so it’s all together) – and if colors is the way to do, what about fabric that has a ton of different colors???
Thoughts on fabric organizationg – let’s here them!
Thanks for linking everyone!! If you were featured feel free to grab the button: (oh, and if you were featured on FB, or if you’re featured later this afternoon, you’re included – grab away!!)
Thanks for featuring my tunic, and for hosting a great link party!
Thanks for the shout-out. You are the best!
Great features! I don’t currently have a fabric collection but if I did, I would probably organize by color. I think that works for me better visually than by collection.
Thanks for featuring me again – yay! I spent a long time thinking about how I wanted to organize my fabrics, and ended up deciding (obviously) that color would work best for me. I’m a visual person, so that’s ultimately how I pair fabrics, anyways. I also found it really helped to discriminate between colors – for example, the blues aren’t just all mixed in, there are a couple stacks for navys, for bright aqua-type blues, for pale baby blues, and for dusty blues (apparently I have a thing for blue fabric, lol). I did similar things for the greens and reds as well. For fabrics with several colors – I either folded up the square and decided which color it ‘read’ – which color seemed to dominate – and put it there. If you look closely, you can tell I also have a stack of red & green fabrics on their own (love Christmas fabrics!) and there’s one stack on the middle shelf that is just fabrics which are mostly white with random colors thrown in.
I sort by color and fold over a ruler.. I love looking at it. I do have to pull out any novelty prints or things that don’t read like a solid color, but it works for 90% of my fabric!
