Pulled out some fabric to make new cushion covers for the living room. I may have to do something different on the back as I am pretty sure I do not have enough to fully cover all 4 cushions. Still that would be a couple of fabric pieces gone from my stash and make the cushions reversible with a totally different colour/look.

Here I thought I was doing so well in using up those 4" squares, both denim and other fabrics. Thinking up new ways to use them and actually getting those projects done.

Guess what oldest son brought home... That's right all the denim jeans that he has saved that are no longer suitable for him to wear. I may just try making some purses out of the tops of the jeans if suitable, and perhaps some shoe bags out of the legs....

Well I pulled out some 2" strips and used those for binding on the one quilt top. I also used an old sheet as backing and a bag of quilt batting (well most of the bag), I will be sewing the rest together for the next quilt top.

Sewed batting together and used it on my friends quilt. Still have bits and pieces left, but I think I will use them on some mug rugs that I am planning on making for Christmas.

Used up some more of the t-shirt strips on the rug I am working on. Tomorrow I hope to finish the row and then on Sunday I will cut some new strips of knit to be used. This is going to take a very long time. Probably will not be finished until late December or early January.

Used up some smaller pieces of batting on the oven mitts. Used up more of the heavy brown fabric as well. I plan on using the same fabric for Hubby's new carpentry apron as well. That will be cut out at some point today.
