One of the interesting things that happens at our regular Rejig sewing sessions is sorting and enjoying all the lovely recycled fabrics we stitchers use for our work. Everyone enjoys a good rummage, bringing back memories of past jumble sales, because you never know what you might find for that project that is still in the planning stage …….. Sometimes the fabric mixtures give you a great starting point or an unexpected colour combination leading to something quite amazing.

So even though fabric gets shared between stitchers and all kinds of projects, the Rejig sessions also benefit because people bring lots of things along to donate and share too, and as fast as we use it all, the magic fabric pots keep refilling …………and as these big tubs of interesting fabric scraps of all colours travel between our different sewing sessions each week, who knows what might turn up just when you need it?
