LOL. QNS...Once in a while I get organized like the above...sans the signs..but then take out a couple pieces of fabric...then a couple more...and we all know how the rest of the story goes....

OK, just think of all the scraps from the classes that go in the trash...Ummm, I would be a dumpster diver for all those little pieces. I do it now with the fabric we use for demos...some times there's just one line of stitching!..the supplier sends 6' squares of cotton and a lot of the prints are from oop top brands...too good to go in the trash..

Oh Lord, I would definately have to have a wall in a warehouse to store all that lovely fabric lol.....this is funny NS.

My LQS has classes but they don't throw away the scraps from them. At first they put them in a big basket and you could stuff scraps into a 5" x 9" plastic zip lock bag and buy that for $5. When they started that I stood there by the basket and neatly folded the scraps and put tons in the bag, so it was nearly bursting, and it was hard to zip it shut. After I did that a few times they started stuffing the bag themselves, loosely, with the scraps wrinkled and bunched up lightly. It was probably a third or a fourth of what I'd been taking! lol So I stopped buying the scraps-- I'd rather buy a yard of fabric for $5 than a loosely packed bag of scraps that's probably a half yard or less.

The LQS let's you stuff a bag for $1...pretty cheap....
