I started a new project today. I'm set to teach at J. C. Campbell in Jan. and wanted to get a new sample made for the class. I always take out my basket of fabric that holds the color I'm looking for and go through or audition the fabric for the project.
I try to keep my hand dyed fabrics together. I don't always have enough of one color to have a separate basket of just that color. As usual when things are hectic I just stuff whatever, wherever. This lead me to cleaning out two baskets, refolding and placing in the correct basket.
I was interested in pink so after I folded and put away the basket, I kept the pink out to use.
After several hours this is what happened. Actually this is just a small mess. Usually the fabric is on the floor, the sewing machine table and all surfaces that I can reach. I must be getting neater.
It's interesting seeing this after a days work and then seeing it here as a photo. I can see several things that I need to change that I didn't see when I stopped work this afternoon.
Taking photos and looking at them is one thing that I stress in my classes. I believe you can see potential problems that you can't see after looking at a piece for a while.
No time to work tomorrow but hope to get back and finish the flower on Wed.
