My next task

[zelda-eckleberg.livejournal.com]

Thanks to everyone for the information on rosewater. I made some spritzing water, but then got sidetracked. I will try recipes tommorrrow. I have an 18mth old, so getting sidetracked is way to easy. Anyway, My dad gave me all of these great fabric samples. He is a interior designer and when fabrics get discontinued I get the great samples. Some of this stuff runs $200+ a yard, so I don't want to use it as trial project fabric ( I will make trial runs in muslin and then do it with the good stuff. Also anything lined, my liner is usally my trial run). So far I made a great purse that is burgundy velvet with little gold metallic bumblebees woven in it and I lined it with this muted gold fabric. I also made a few rice buddy things for my dad, to show appreciation. So I need help. I have like 150 sample pieces that I was scared to use and now I realize something has to be done because they are taking over the fabric shelf. The pieces are about 16inx11in, but the top two inches have gromets in either corner. I am open to any suggestions either with leaving the gromets in or cutting the pieces down a few inches. Most of the fabric is heavier (upholstery weight). All designs are woven in, not printed, so the stuff is pretty sturdy.
