As I contemplate how to make my LA space my sewing space I evaluated what I have. One of the pluses of this room is the WIC. But it's filled with fabric..fabric I have not used in years. I used to go to craft shows (35 years ago) selling machine appliqued items. One of my best sellers was children's sweatshirts made from scratch and embellished with cute designs. By color blocking I was able to make the most of my yardage. Believe it or not I still had scraps from this endeavor. I have sorted the smalls and cut them in wash cloth sized rags from MrOk and son to use in the barn. Each cow's teats are individually cleaned and wiped dry before milkers are attached. My cleaning is their boon as sweatshirt fabric make excellent barn towels!
So the idea is to clean out the WIC and rid it of fabric I won't use...single knit fabrics are next on the list. I have 3 shelves of a 30" wide steel shelf cleaned off! The yardage I hope to use as backings to kids charity quilts. Right now 13 yo has a piece of sweatshirt fleece on the LA with the fleece side on the outside. Will be soft to the touch.
Back to the closet! I have a feeling this will be a long term project.
