  • What To Do With Fabric You Aren't Going to Use, plus Maker of the Week: Duke and June

    If you're like many of us, at some point you've probably looked at your fabric (or supply) stash and thought...I'm never going to use all of that! This week, I share some ideas on re-homing (or even using) fabric you don't think you'll ever use. Much of the advice can apply to other crafting supplies as well. Also, we'll take a look at our Maker of the Week, Duke & June!
