This is a fun, informative and inspirational trek to find the best way to handle your mountain of left-over fabric. Brita had over 30 years’ worth of accumulated scraps which threatened to take over her sewing room and consume her! She had to do something. Some of you may have the same problem. Here is how she managed to save herself and actually make some room in her fabric closet.
