    Default Re: CALCULATING FABRIC FOR PRE-CUTS-"HOW TO"

    Hi ~Summer~
    Well guess what?

    While preping up the fabric cuts for my Pinwheels (using 5x5 squares).
    I found out (after going Edward Scissorhands on the Stashes I had)
    that 1 Yard of fabric NO MATTER how I cut it and folded it.
    i kept getting a total of "56" 5x5 Blocks... and the few pieces that were left, gave me a couple of 3 ' or 4' strips.

    That was Fun!!

    I made quite a few nice CHARM PACK BUNDLES for Future Use (that's, near Future ) and extra strips for
    Oohh let's say a few Scrappy Blocks.
    and are you ready for this... the thin 1/4 inch piece I removed when squaring the fabric...
    I used them to tie the Charm Pack bundles Ooowwwee...They LOOK Sew Cute!! ~No Waist Here!~

    Yes, I'm keeping a little journal and when I'm done trying this out I'll post here for reference.
    Ohhh.. P.S. It went Pretty Quick wth the June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler. Posted PICS in my ALBUM
