The saying goes if life gives you lemons make lemonade. In my case if someone offers you swatches of beautiful lace fabric, make them into a blouse . Everyone one who knows me knows that I love mixing fabrics and taking small pieces of fabric and creating a garment.
A couple of years ago I met a gentleman who is a fabric importer and he asked if I could do anything with the fabric swatches they were finished selling. I jumped at the opportunity and arrived home with seven cartons of the most beautiful fabrics. I emptied the boxes out on the floor in my family room and proceeded to sort through them. It took me two days to get through the swatches. The ones I did not use I donated to my neighbor who runs a summer camp and she could use for their arts and crafts program. Once I sorted them out into colors, I knew that there was definitely a blouse in the making.
Till next time....happy sewing and thank you for reading!
