All Done #2 May


       
In my 'All Done' series of posts which show how I use up every last scrap of something, I would like to wrap up the red canvas geometric print today which has all gone. My friend gave it to me years ago. It is a heavy canvas and was taking up a big space in the fabric drawer but it has certainly earned it's keep....
     



 
Two shoppers, one chair, a desk tidy, a notice board, a roman blind and a sewing handbag. Do you know what?...

I am ALL DONE #2 with this free fabric.
Which was your favourite make? Jo xxxx

PS. These are mosaic posts - I did not make these this week!!! they show the things I have made over time with a particular material.

    I am so impressed Jo, its difficult to decide I like them all. If pushed I would chose the desk tidy but only because I could do with one myself. Have a great day. Lorraine.

      Reuse dear Loo! - It was the packaging ribbon tying the fabric on the clothkit dresses I bought for my girls - brilliant isn't it?

    What a sterling effort. It is always a joy to use all the fabric. I enjoy using every last bit, it gives me a real buzz.

    Amazing Jo. I have lots of heavy fabric taking up space and your ideas for using this type of fabric are great. I like the wall hanging sewing storage thingy a lot. Oh, I just finished my first little peasant blouse, thank you so much for bringing this pattern to my attention! Lots of little girls birthday parties are in our calendar and I'll make a few more. x

    wow, you really do fly the flag for "re-use & re-cycle"! Love your creativity and all your makes are fab. I think next time you visit I'm going to get you to trawl through my fabric stash and give me some ideas :-)
    Well done you!

    I love the look of that wall organiser. Beautiful fabric, you used it so well! I think I need to get going and use some of my fabric too, I have so much of it sitting about.

    I do love everything you have made with this fabric, but I think my favourite just has to be the chair! :)

    You made such great use of the fabric!! If I had to choose one thing it would be the bags for me, or the blind! xx
