framing fabric
I saw this cool idea on Apartment Therapy for large-scale framed fabric kits. There were a couple of small issues I had - first of all, I live in a small house and don’t have any more room for biiiig pieces of art :-) The second is that I have tons of my own fabric and don’t really need to buy anymore to display as art (although that could be a great excuse to go fabric shopping!)
I decided to try making my own framed fabric art, using small (5 X 7″), inexpensive wooden frames. I hunted through my stash and found three prints that worked well together. I ironed them, trimmed them to fit - and voila!
The glass wasn’t cooperating with the photographs - but I love how they turned out. It’s a great way to display those “special” fabrics you can’t bear to use up :-)

I think it’s a great way to keep a little piece of those “special” fabrics that you can’t bear to use :-)
