my creative space

This morning I went to a few garage sales. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular — just trying to stay fresh with ideas. I found this cute cotton shower curtain that I think will make some really fun tote bags. There’s even more ric rac not pictured! Today I’ve been sketching and trying to figure out how I’m going to cut this up. There are so many possibilities!

What a great find, I love ric rac!!!
It’s gorgeous! What a find.
What great colors. I think you’re right on track with totes!
Oh, WOW! What a fun piece. When I first saw it I thought SKIRT! But I think a tote would be terriffic! I just love this fabric–hmmm…maybe have to duplicate it with all the scrap/stash stuff I have.
I love the ric rac!! I understand the “How to cut” predicament. I wish you luck!
What a great shower curtain! You are so lucky to find it! Have fun.
Please show the end result! I’m impressed you don’t need a pattern *sigh*
What a great find!! I look forward to seeing what it gets turned into!
Oh, I love rickrack…its goofy I know but that is so cute. how about a cute hat to go with the tote? or a cute draw string bag for your treasures.
Oh well, can’t wait to see what you come up with. Have fun
