What can you do with two meters ( or 2.18723yards) of fabric?

-

 Have you ever wondered what to do with piece of fabric? Piece of fabric that you bought, just because you loved the fabric?

Usually it sits in the cupboard, encouraging small amounts of gilt every time you see it, successfully collect dust and raises the question: What should I use it for?

Lets see.

My piece of fabric waited for my decision for about a year. I knew I want a short pants. But I wanted a white embellishments, and I had no matching white fabric. It took half a year to find it. Not that I've been busy looking day and night for that fabric, it just wasn't a priority.

Than one day I suddenly decided - this would be a day to cut that pretty piece of fabric. 

I never managed to build the patterns myself, so I usually use ready to use patterns. Particularly I like using the patterns from Burda Style Magazine. I've been using their patterns since 1996. ( insert picture of magazine, affiliate link)

After some time of work, I produced this pair of short pants. 



To my surprise, there was enough to make shorts as well. So I made me shorts!


And than I still had some fabric leftovers. A soft toy Cat for the grandkid was born!



After making cat, I still had a small pieces of that Polka Dot fabric. So the small pillow was created, using leftovers from other projects as well.




Still have tiny bits of this fabric. 
May be you can advice how to utilize them, so I can brag more about using all of 2 meters (or 2.18723yards) of the fabric.

                                             60? So What?

 Unboxing HOMCOM Yogurt Maker, model SNJ-168.B and Review https://youtu.be/1vtAqsrazJI We bought HOMCOM Yogurt Maker because we want to make fresh, healthy, additive free and   preservative-free, probiotic-rich yogurt tailored to our taste!  It is a lightweight and compact appliance designed to simplify homemade yogurt preparation. It promises a consistent heating for even fermentation. I like that jars for yogurt production are made of glass and each one is of the perfect serving size. The yogurt maker itself is light and small, which makes it easy to store.  The top clear cover is a bit thin plastic, so you have to be careful not to drop it. I am also not fond of plastic covers for the glass jars, and may look in the future for alternative solutions. But on the other hand, the coved do not touch the product inside and temperatures are too low to produce unwanted chemicals.  Default setting by the manufacturer is 42C (107.6 F) and 8 hours for yogurt production....

I finally want to start recording videos for my YouTube channel 60? So What! I registered the name and set up my account almost 2 years ago, had ideas, topics and some skills to share, but never had a real courage to start!  I find excuses such as “ oh, I need to learn a lot, before I start”, another good one -“I am busy”, but honestly, I think I am just simply afraid of unknown. First step is the hardest. I am trying to figure out what do I need to know before I attempt to record videos, what equipment do I need. I am using following system: Writing down categories such as knowledge needed, equipment, books to read, educational videos to watch brings structure to the task. Write as many questions in each category as you wish. Breaking each category down into the individual questions makes is more digestible.  Example:   Category: Knowledge  Question: What do I need to know about lighting? And finally breaking each question into smaller chunks: What is the best aff...

Paint Whimsical Flowers Along with Me - Easy Watercolor Painting and Doodling for Absolute Beginners Paint Whimsical Flowers Along with Me - Easy Watercolor Painting and Doodling for Absolute Beginners. Sometimes, it is intimidating to try complex watercolor painting. It looks so complicated that we stay away from even considering giving it a try. We just brush it off with the thought, “I can’t do that.” But… I invite you to dip your brush into the paint and try creating this simple and easy whimsical garden of flowers. Let's have fun! I deliberately chose not to include any background color so that it would be easier to paint. Use any watercolor paints, brushes, and fine liners you have on hand. Watercolor paper is a must, but again, do not worry if it is just student-grade paper. Your results will be different from mine, and that is OK. You can use different colors, shapes, and techniques if you choose to. Enjoy and have fun! Those are affiliate links. If you make a purchase aft...
