My second order from Fabscrap arrived, and it's three pounds of the coolest scrap fabric I've ever seen. Front left to right: Cotton Multi, Neutrals, and Blue.
Let's start with the Cotton Multi pile. Lots of nice-size pieces, all cotton but different types of fabric, all very clean and in new condition. Some pieces have a few wrinkles, some thread bits, label bits and sticky tape, but that's all easy enough to deal with when I want to use them.
I'm also getting a better sense of what these fabrics were likely used for (mostly garments) before they were sent for recycling. The quality is so amazing it kind of hurts to think these scraps might have otherwise ended up in a landfill.
I got part of a sleeve in this pack, as you can see at the bottom right of this pic. That's so neat.
The neutrals pack was mostly blacks and grays, but I got a couple pieces of gorgeous wool and some intriguing knits.
I suspect some of the pieces came from someone making suits. :)
Another surprise: some very nice, big pieces included in the blue pack.
I love the prints in this pack, too.
This huge piece might actually belong to the neutrals pile. Anyway, you can see I have an abundance of inspiring fabric with which to work, and I'm already sketching some ideas on how to use them. As I complete something I'll be sure to post pics on the blog so you can see what I do with my fab scraps. :)
