I am always checking out our local charity shops for end of bolt fabrics, trimmings and cushion pads (all new and unused), sometimes I am really lucky and individual items in one charity shop go together really well.
A trip to the local Barnados store was rewarding. I found 2 metres of gorgeous teal cotton fabric with random sea themed stencils. I was just about to pay for it when I spotted a silk scarf in the same teal - but a batik pattern - all around the edge were metal round 'coins'. The scarf was brand new (had tags). So I got my finds home and decided to remove the 'coins' from the scarf to decorate the new project.
But what to make? I was thinking beach bag (lined with silk seems a bit extravagant?). Wall-hanging? Cushion? Table runner? Girl's skirt and blouse?
Ideas?
