Double Foundation Chain
I first came across Double Foundation Chain in the Encyclopaedia of Needlework by Thérèse de Dillmont.

Remember my storage room? I am working my way through everything box by box. The boxes are mostly 50 litre boxes. (that's about 13 US gallons)
I dug a box out of the storage room and opened it up. It set my allergies off with that I've-been-stored-for-way-to-long mustiness aroma, so everything is getting washed first.
The calico stuff got washed yesterday (you might call it muslin or unbleached cotton). I had to take the scissors to all the thread monsters.
I washed the whites this morning which included some delicates that I didn't want to throw in with the calico stuff.
And the colours are about to go into the washing machine.
Yes, that is the 50 litre box AFTER all the whites and calico have been removed. It was a little overstuffed.
Because there's so much stuff in that box I'm going to share it in several posts.

To see what all the coloured things are and if I kept them click here.
And the rest of it.

Looks like you will have a lot of fabric to create with when it is all washed and ready. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll keep some of it but the plan is to clear out all the mountains of scraps to make room for new projects.
DeleteLooks like a lot of fun little projects ahead!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that's why I've kept them for so long. Time to admit it won't happen and let the scraps go (well some of them anyway)
DeleteThanks for sharing on How To Get Organized At Home:)
ReplyDeleteI love finding "new" stuff when I go through my fabric stash! Thanks for linking up at the Stitch It, Blog It, Share Link Party. I hope you’ll join us every Sunday night at 7 with more of your creative sewing projects.

I see lots of new projects on the way. I'm auditing my wardrobe now and it doesn't look too good !
