So I did a bit of tidying in my sewing room today. Not a full out clean up, but some dust removal and rearranging of a few things. A bit of fabric folding. You know. And I ran across all my binding leftovers. You know, the ones that are a bit too long to just throw out. Let me show you.
Here they all are together. I think. I may have some stashed somewhere that I didn't find today.
All jumbled up together.
Some of them are on empty old thread spools: wooden spools and plastic, even Aurifil spools.
Some are wound up and secured with a pin, some just wound up with the tail flapping loose...
...and a bunch just sort of wrapped, kinda flat and all smooshed together in a can that I spray painted red to keep stuff in in my sewing room. Stuff like this apparently.
I obviously like stripes quite a bit for binding.
And the occasional polka dot. This is some big dots.
And not to be left out, some checks. Now, my question to you is, what do YOU do with your leftover bindings? Sew them together? Maybe like colors? Keep saving them? Use them for tiny quilts? Let me know if you have any ideas on what I can do with these. I cannot throw them out. Obviously.
