I just bought a ticket to a historical costumed ball for next year! π now to decide what to makeβ¦period is 1870-1910β¦so many options!

Cabbage for dog beds Iβve heard of but I was concerned that it could be a choking hazard if they tear them open? I also donβt have time to make MORE projects lol

And Iβve heard make cabbage and make dog beds? But what if they tear them open and eat the stuffing? π€ help! 2/2 #textilerecycling
Iβve been trying to find good places to donate fabric scraps for years so they donβt end up in the landfill. Iβm trying the @trashie Scrappie bags but they can only take 98% cotton. Who has brilliant ideas?
The Scrappie bags took out about 1/3 of my current hoard (mostly muslin) but I have more! 1/2
Yes please!

why must we monetise everything? Why must we assume that someone wants or needs to get paid for something they just enjoy? Some people want to keep their hobbies their hobbies.
