You may remember that early last year when Anna Graham @noodlehead531 offered Studio Mystery Boxes, I couldn't resist. And subsequently, I made quite a variety of projects from the fabrics and supplies I received. Here's what I can remember off hand....
A Journal Cover, tutorial by Rachel LaBour @stitchedincolor
A Small Booklet Pouch, pattern by Aneela Hoey @aneelahoey
A Fairfax Sling, pattern by Svetlana Skumanicova @sotakhandmade
An Essex Wallet, pattern also by Svetlana @sotakhandmade
And just a few short weeks ago, a Workshop Tote, pattern by Jeni Baker @jenib320
Obviously, I've made good use of what I got, so there was no second-guessing myself when I saw Anna post: Studio clean out time! You will receive a box of some (if not all) of the following types of items:
- zippers
- fabric
- fabric scraps (each box has an approx. 1 lb bag of pressed scraps)
- some have webbing
- cording
- patterns
- a few have leather scraps, zipper pulls
- hardware
- woven labels
- box measures 11.25 X 8.75 X 5" and is full!
The box I just received had all of the above except patterns, which I'm fine with, considering all I did get.
Half yard each of Fableism Checkmate Checkers double cloth in Butterscotch and Ivory
23" x WOF of Speckled Canvas Metallic by Rashida Coleman Hale in black
21" x WOF of Speckled Canvas Metallic by Rashida in Sarah (green)
8(!) zippers in a variety of sizes and styles + one leather zipper pull
Half yard of Anna's Orchard Run Flowers in Slate
A mix of bag hardware and other supplies - a scrap of leather, 2 1/4 yards of 1.5" webbing, natural and blue drawstring cording, several rectangular rings, a half moon magnetic edge clasp (which I've never seen before!) from Emmaline Bags @emmalinebags, a side release buckle, waxed cord, and woven labels.
AND my bag of pressed scraps (14.8 oz.) included cuts of Essex, Orchard Run, Carolyn Friedlander, Echino, and Fableism. IE. some good stuff! I figure between the scraps and the yardage, I received about 5 1/2 yards of fabric, all of which I really like.
So I'm more than happy with the mystery box, and look forward to working these items into my making!
