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!
ReplyDeleteJust close your eyes and do it! lol!
ReplyDeleteOH but that's beautiful FaBRIC! I'
ReplyDeleted 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). . .
ReplyDeleteGreat things come from facing fear! Get everything laid out, measure, measure again....take a gulp....and go for it!!
ReplyDeleteYou'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.
