we so need time to sew!
I decided to inventory and organize our fabric this week. It only took two days to finish the task (NOT counting scrap fabric, of course, that didn't get inventoried or measured, though I have a good idea of what is there, and it is one fiber type per box). The totals are:
163 meters total, but some of the pieces are very narrow. This might be balanced by some of the others, which are very wide.
This breaks down to:
77 meters wool
45 meters Linen
5 meters Silk
37 meters cotton
Or, if you prefer to sort by colour:
75 meters blue (ranging from bluish grey through to midnight)
39 meters black
31 meters white, cream, "natural", and grey
12 meters of reds, maroons, and orangish red
6 meters of greens and yellows
Some of this fabric is downright decadent to touch, and we really should make time for sewing so as to use this stuff. Fabric is meant to sew, not be stored!
However, before we do that I should finish some of the projects in progress, the most urgent of which are:
* my sexy cloak
* my fur lined hood
* my new bliaut
