Ever have a pile of these?

All the clippings from altered clothes just sitting in a baggie. 
I was organizing my sewing area when I looked through the bag again. I keep them for reference when I revisit the pattern I'll know where to alter it so when I cut the garment out again, the fit will be the way I want it.

I didn't realize how large this pile had gotten. Then I realized most of these clippings were pre-slopers.
Speaking of slopers, for those who are going to drape along with me later on (perhaps the middle of next month) I hope you have your dress forms all in order.

I was not planning on making this a formal thing, but I've gotten some emails about it, and people who want to follow. Should I do it all proper, or no?

Oh, I also finished that 30s day dress with the cool pleated tulip sleeves last weekend. Even wore it out with my cool white 30s shoes but I FORGOT to get pictures of it! Sorry. I'll take pictures soon. I was rather super cute if that helps.

Hope you all are having a good day!

  1. I've started fitting everything with my slopers and it makes such a HUGE difference. I think others would benefit from you showing them how to do so.

  2. I have a major pile. But it's not at the max level. When it gets to max level, I invite some young girls over to the house and teach them how to quilt.
