I reached a big milestone this week in my career. -going full-time with my Etsy shop ZhalaClothing! I am also devoting more time to my health coaching business. I kinda dual-wield~
To get things started off right, I am rearranging and cleaning out my overly cluttered and disorganized sewing room/studio/office.
Of course, I quickly get distracted, and this happened:
I had these fabrics for about ten years and never found the right project for them- until today. I needed to break up the strong zebra print so I ran to my quilting shop and grabbed a 1/2 yard of this specialty fabric I've had my eye on.
**Update! I finished the quilt and you can see it now on my Etsy Shop here!
I love using fine fabrics and home fabrics in quilts; velvets, herringbones, flocked fabrics. They add much needed texture and luxury to a room. Texture is one of the most overlooked design elements, which is my pet peeve.
I tried a shortcut for cutting and sewing pinwheels where you cut two large squares and sew around all four sides, right sides together. Then, mark a line diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right., top right to bottom left. Cut along the lines and you've just created 4 pinwheel squares! Quick and easy!
I'm hoping to finish it up this weekend so stay tuned for more...
