Lately, I've been working on some new jewelry projects using a packet of fabric
trimmings from
Umbrella Prints. They are having a
competition to see what projects people can make from one packet of trimmings. I enjoy a good craft challenge and an excuse to buy fabric, so I bought a pack.

Although I loved the fabric, I was a little worried at first because the prints are bigger than I am used to. But, it's actually been really fun to play around and see fabric in a different way. Here are some of the pieces I have made.

I still have 2/3 of my fabric left and a few more projects in mind. I used the sewing machine to start one today and am also going to try an experimental technique; no idea whether it will work or not. Intrigued? You should be.
