To CUT THE MINKY.
I'm making my niece a car seat cover, and using
real minky. Real fabric. Store bought and
everything, like someone who can really sew!
Usually, everything I sew is made from upcycled,
recycled, rescued--whatever you want to call it--
fabric. Those are all nice words for "fabric
I got really cheap or free, usually clothes or
drapes I cut apart to make something else."
See, "upcycled" is much easier to say . . .
Sooooo, you can maybe see why I'm afraid to
cut into double-digit a yard fabric, using a
pattern I made myself. Yikes.
VERY AFRAID!

You go girl! My money (or should I say yours) is on you! Have fun!
Just close your eyes and do it! lol!
OH but that's beautiful FaBRIC! I'
d be afraid to cut it too!!
Sounds petrifying to me-but you can always go get more fabric if something should go wrong. (or cut up your drapes). . .
Great things come from facing fear! Get everything laid out, measure, measure again....take a gulp....and go for it!!
You'll be showing us pictures of your finished (and fantastic looking, if you do say so yourself)project soon enough :) Can't wait!
I know exactly what you mean. When I get something more expensive to work with (not for sewing, which I really don't do, but for crafts) it sits around forever before I do anything with it.
I wanted invite you to a blog party I'm having to celebrate getting 100 followers at Scribbleprints, and thank you for being one of them!
