Project Cuts Are Here!
Not ready for commitment?
Yes, an entire yard of fabric can be a lot for some personalities. I love dyeing the biggest cuts of fabric that can comfortably fit in the pot. If you think about the yardage requirements for an adult sized garment, a single yard is rarely enough. Even if you're sewing for little ones, the bigger your piece of fabric (and your table!) the more efficiently the pattern pieces can be laid out. Just because you're not sewing for profit doesn't mean you should be wasteful with your fabric.
Now, the reality is that hundreds upon hundreds of projects make great use of small pieces. Just ask your local quilter. So many of the most beautiful sewn items involve lots of small or even tiny pieces. Today I introduce something special for those willing and able to take on all those remnants and create something stunning. Say hello to our Project Packs.
These packs are ready for your small or patchwork projects. You'll get the same smooth Supima Cotton Interlock as our full yards, but in a variety of colors pre-cut into various sizes. What can you do with these bundles?

This is 101 ways to use any fabric scraps. A lot of interesting ideas here- all the way at #101 is a patchwork dress that would look great made with the botanically dyed fabrics.

This map of the United States is a fun way to use even the bittiest scraps. The sample uses lots of “busy” fabric scraps, but no reason you couldn't do something with more subtle textures and patterns.
