New Challenges from Fabscrap

In December I made two orders from Fabscrap. The first arrived with this giant spool of variegated taupe yarn; it's more than enough to make a nice big wrap or a lap blanket.

I also added two pounds of mendable sample garment tops in this particular order. I made a mistake and clicked on large for the size, and then later read that they were out of stock. I expected they would backorder my order, but instead they made some delightful substitutions. This pretty pink top doesn't need any mending or alteration.

This is a dress, I believe, and it looks to be in perfect condition, too.

A white eyelet blouse, also in new condition. Keep in mind that all these garments are $8.00 a pound, which works out to $4.00 each for this order. That's cheaper than Goodwill.

I even got a coat. That neon green faux fur on the cuffs definitely has to go, but I love the coat.

This is a yard pack of neutral naturals. The linen alone (on the right) is worth about $25.00.

It kills me to think that without Fabscrap the yarn, garments and fabrics would have ended up in a landfill. I can't save all the fabric, but I can definitely recycle what I get from Fabscrap this year. Stop by tomorrow to see order #2.
