Sing the Blues

I taught a sewing class this week and whenever I do that I end up with a lot of remnants from all of their projects. These remnants normally go the to scrap pile for the next class's patchwork pieces.

This time one of the students chose to work with a lot of blues and the scraps caught my eye.

I am always on the lookout for interesting scraps to create wave art pieces. This time there were quite a few strips left over so I found enough for a wave piece and for a textured piece.

In addition to that I am working on 2 new tutorials and there were enough pieces for those in the remnants pile as well.

For my first new tutorial which will be for creating fabric pieces. I found some shorter strips
