They can take the ugliest fabric and make it into an adorable dress by adding a contrast pocket, or some fun trim or buttons, etc. That's where my "what was I thinking" fabric goes and many of my friends give me fabric to bring to her as well. It makes it much easier for me to let it go when I know it's going to be used for a good purpose.
Wonderful way to use up fabric that will never become a quilt.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to audition fabric without great cost. How do you do it?
