Sewing Tip

Did you know that WalMart and other stores that sell fabric will many times give away the cardboard that the bolts of fabric are rolled onto?

Each time I go to the fabric dept., I ask the employees if I can have the empty cardboard cores. They are more than happy to part with them! When I get my fabric purchases laundered and ironed, I wrap them onto the cores for storage until I am ready to use them.

Another tip is to get the clear plastic that the fabric dept. sells for covering tables. Cut a length of it about 16 inches wide. Fold one short end towards the other so that you have a pocket alittle longer than the cardboard core. Sew the sides to form a pocket. Tuck your fabric bolts inside the pocket and tuck the remaining flap in to keep your fabric clean and dust-free. If your fabric bolts are small enough, you can fit more than one into a single pocket.

Enjoy!

Thanks Paula. You have lots of good ideas! I love that Wal-mart fabric department. I've got the woodstove going this morning after not burning it last night. What's the weather like today in OK? Bless you...........Denise (prairiemom)
