Nothing Goes To Waste In My Sewing Room!

I don’t usu­ally share in this blog.  How­ever, I must share a cute story with you.  If you know me, you know that I sew every day!  A friend of mine brought me a big plas­tic stor­age con­tainer of mate­r­ial that included cur­tains, table­cloths, etc.  I loved it!  I some­times keep mate­r­ial for a year or longer.  Then one day, “Wha La”, I need it.  One of my sewing cus­tomers called and needed a brown tie in kind of a hurry.   I remem­bered that there was some “lovely brown” cur­tains in my plas­tic box.  So, I hur­riedly made him the tie.  He loved it!  Then, he came back and wanted to know if I could make also make him a vest from the “lovely brown” mate­r­ial.  He loved that also; I didn’t have the heart to tell him he was wear­ing cur­tains!  Then, another cus­tomer wanted a table run­ner for fall.  Again, I went to the box and pulled out the “lovely brown” mate­r­ial and embroi­deried on it!  She loved it!  I also made my brother a valance  for his bed­room with some of the other mate­r­ial.  Noth­ing goes to waste in my sewing room.  Thank you Shel­ley for my won­der­ful plas­tic con­tainer full of goodies!
