🧵 2/2 @sewing #sewing

Thankfully I’ve broken the habit of wasting time to save thread.

But I still haven’t broken the habit of trying to maximize #fabric usage, even though I always buy at least ½ yard extra.

I paid $5/yd for 1½ yds of this fabric and used <1 yard after pre-washing to make a t-shirt. It took me 80 mins to cut out the pattern pieces on grain, but I could have saved so much time if I worried less about having a large continuous piece left over. And what can I really use it for?
