I hope the boat doesn't get boarded by Customs and Immigration. Looks kinda suspicious!<br /><br />Since I buy most of my fabric used on eBay, I often end up with oddball scraps. And yes, they are so hard to resist! One of my favorite sellers sews neckties, so her scraps are strange skinny bias triangles that are quite the challenge. But I *love* all the science themed fabrics she uses...so irresistible.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-81436878191848844952017-08-06T16:54:04.814-07:002017-08-06T16:54:04.814-07:00You have been "sewing your magic" again ...You have been "sewing your magic" again and come up with another lovely scrappy.

I have some brushed cottons that I bought years ago with a similar problem--gorgeous colors, but very soft and loosely woven.
