Hello brains trust! Any cunning ideas what I can do with this? I’ve 3m of 150 and it is not a garment fabric. Lite hessian? Good for shopping bags but I certainly don’t need that many. black & gold cat print fabric

Make shopping bags as gifts for friends and family. Tote bag. Potato bag. Onion bag. Place mats. A bag bag to store other bags in.

You could make cute fabric planters for potted indoor plants, or furoshiki for Christmas/birthdays.

Table cloth of some kind? Table runner even? A decorative curtain for partioning rooms?

E: seconding placemats!

The very one directional pattern is putting me off many ideas. Placemats would work, but isn’t something we generally do.

Cut a square into 4 triangles and then sew together with the cats all facing outward.

[–] 6368_39162@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Now that has my brain going! Shall check viable seam widths between repeats

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
