new workspace….
I have a LOT of fabric. and right now, most of it looks like this: it started in organized bins and tubs… Quilting Cottons, Knits, Home Dec, etc…. but as my stash expanded, the bins started overflowing… so now we’re working on something like this: I’m slowly folding all my fabric onto comic book boards (7×10.5″), and sorting scraps into those colorful bins… the island is made up of 4 martha stewart cubby things from Home Depot, with a big piece o’ wood on top, to cover the hole in the center… My cutting mat measures 60×30...
