New Old Rules and Fabric

There is a new(ish) rule in place that any new sewing projects need to use natural materials - a semi-synthetic like rayon is okay, but there is no plastic allowed. There's another rule that new purchases must be for a specific project, when that project is ready to start.

Those two rules have cut down on fabric purchases and delivered boons in the form of stash purges.

I went through the fabrics bin earlier in search of a material that I thought could be used for trousers. I found it, but it looked and felt semi-synthetic. A flame test confirmed that it's some kind of plant fiber and plastic blend. It was disappointing, but not something that I would have used anyway.

Since it's been in there for years, I put it (and a bag's worth of other old fabrics) out for donation. The bin is finally half-empty.

August Theme - Rest & Relaxation

Week 2 of August and continuing with our theme of encouraging the development of spaces to rest and relax in our homes, we're moving onto bedrooms.

What needs tackling most in your bedroom? Are there any quick wins (e.g. picking up and packing away clothes)? If there's something that is quick to do that will make a big difference, that's a great place to start, but if not, look for a particular spot that you can tackle and change e.g. the bedside table or floor beside the bed. Start with the area closest to your sleep space and gradually move further away, building on the cocoon of restfulness by enlarging the space step by step - remove the visual clutter and distraction so that when it comes to sleeping, you & your mind know that when you're entering the space it's time to rest properly.

Let us know how you get on.
