Cutting table – July 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is my cutting table on a good day.<\/p>\n

On a good day, my cutting table is small. Tim laughs at the size of my cutting table. His is twice the size. My small cutting table is the reason I do so much cutting at Sew Day. Having space to lay out large pieces of fabric and use big rulers is a luxury. When half of it is covered with scraps and patterns, there is really only a small amount of space to cut.<\/p>\n

\"Scraps<\/a>
Scraps and patterns that were on the cutting table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It only looks this good, because the two giant piles, one of scraps and one of patterns, I had to the right of the tool caddy fell off yesterday. They are still laying on the floor, because something has to change.<\/p>\n

This happens, if not frequently, then regularly. I keep walking past the mess and thinking about what to do. I think what I need to do is throw scraps into some kind of bin and then deal with them when the bin gets full.<\/p>\n

SueG made me some small bins<\/a> which I use for thread scraps.  A larger size would be great. A One Hour Basket<\/a> or the Desktop Cube from Minikins Season 1<\/a> are both options. The large size of the Desktop Cube is 5-1\/2\u201d long x 7-1\/2\u201d tall x 5-1\/2\u201d wide, so that might be a good starter bin. I also have a Sew Sweetness pattern called the Faithwell Storage Bin. The small size is small circle \u2013 8\u201d diameter x 7\u201d tall, which is slightly larger than the Desktop Cube. What do you use for pre-processed scraps?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
