Charm Pack Skirt

Another one of our talented customers sharing what she has created. Don't you just love it? Renae is full of talent! She used a free pattern from The Polka Dot Chair mingled with her own variation. For the matching shirt she cut out the letter "B" by using a enlarged font on her computer as a template...genius. The "B" fit perfectly on one charm square. I think this outfit turned out darling. A perfect skirt full of personality and a perfect Christmas gift for her daughter. Renae used the charm pack Soiree by Lila Tueller from Moda Fabrics mixed with a little fabric she had in her own personal stash. I think this skirt would also be cute using Santorini -- another fabulous fabric line by Lila Tueller.

Thanks for sharing Renae!

{Sewing Somethings} #2 - Fabric that Bleeds

Dark colors or reds can be a nightmare if you wash a quilt or clothing after its been made. If you are worried about fabric bleeding there are a couple things you can do.

1. Soak a small piece of the fabric in a cool, soapy water for about 30 minutes
2. Remove the fabric from the water and check for discolored water. If the water is discolored that means your fabric has bled some dye.
3. If the water is clear place the piece of fabric on a paper towel to dry. If the fabric dries and the paper towel is clean you can feel confident that your fabric won't bleed.

If the water or paper towel becomes discolored you can use what is called "Color Catchers"

You just toss the sheets in with the wash--either when you are pre-washing or when you wash the quilt for the first time and they are supposed to keep the fabrics from bleeding onto each other. The "color catchers" are wonderful and they are very reasonably priced. I purchase mine at Walmart for $3.72 for 24 sheets.
