My mother used to
irrigate her house plants before going away for a few days. She'd line them up on a bench and connect one piece of fabric strip from plant to plant (in the soil) and then both loose ends would go into a jar of water. Don't know how well it worked.....

I have been trying to think of a logical way to sort and store my leftover fabric pieces after cutting. I tried a craftbox, but it was too limiting.
With 2 inches being my smallest width, I find that I have various shapes and lengths of scraps. How do you store your scraps?
I am beginning to have arthritits in my hands so don't like working with really small pieces (honestly never have liked working with small pieces) for strips I use them to tie up plants in my garden which is quite lovely! and also use as packing material when you send presents and let the other person figure out what to do with them.
