    Well done! Looks great! I need to do this too. My sewing machine is in the shop getting cleaned and adjusted and then I'm hoping to make some bags and start using all of this fabric I've collected. Some are from a fabric store but most I've found at second hand places and they are perfect for bag making. I also need to organize my yarn. I've made 5 sweaters this winter until now and almost finished the 6th. Just one sleeve to go. I'm trying to work my yarn stash down too. You have inspired me again! Thank you!

    Oh God, Maralisa! This was me, earlier this week, but books instead of fabric. When you pulled everything out and covered the floor in it - especially when the big pile slowly toppled over 😂. It's the stage when you think, what have I done? But, like your fabric, my books are all dusted and re-organised and it looks and more importantly, feels, so good! Also, these proper organisings are great for re-aquainting yourself with what you have, but it always takes MUCH longer than you think. Loved your thrift store finds and like the others who have commented I think your geometric grey top looks fabulous!

    Fabulous! I desperately need to organize my fabric. May I ask the dimensions of the cardboard you use for folding your fabric? ❤

  • @marilisalugo
    @marilisalugo8 күн бұрын

    Thanks! The cardboard is 10" x 15" and is the perfect size for my shelves. Those are 34" long so I can make three stacks. The depth 16" so I have an inch to move the stacks back and forth. I made it of very thick cardboard and the damn thing is been with me for 6 years

    Thanks for your pattern round up! I really liked all the infos you provided with every pattern. Lily once talked about her yarn choices in one of her podcasts mentioning she likes to use certain blends like e.g. wool-acryl to give summer garments a nice bounce for a long lasting fitted garment as summer fibres are often losing its shape with wear.

    Thank you again, for doing these videos. I've got 8 patterns written down to look at. Calm Night, Oat Camisole, Dennis Top, Gentle Lines, Lyra Tee, U for Me, Oporto tee, and Lykke tee. Favorite one I think is the U For Me. I love that there is so much variety in the kinds of yarns. I see you with your fan. How hot is it there. Here in the Seattle area it's in the 90's for then next week, then 80's. It's so miserable hot out you can't go outside and enjoy your yard! But I'm not complaining! Since we only get about 3 months of nice weather.

    I just today thought, I wonder where Marlisa is? She's buy as always! Purse is adorable. I love the black dress with the big red flowers on it. Your vest turned out so cute. Here is Washington, the cherries are in season. I've been eating a ton. My projects are another Bright Side pullover. This time with scrap yarn in blues. And, a crochet ripple blanket with a burgundy red and a speckled cream. Your sheet material makes me want to hit the value village and the Goodwill's. I love finding fabric there. I found a whole role of material in a nice soft white and it still has the Joanne wrapping around it. I'll have to drag it into my Joanne store and see if they can tell me what it is. I've always wanted to make a crazy quilt, so I've been buying bits and pieces of velvet and silky material. I want to put it together and do embroidery over it. Big ambitions here. lol So happy to see you. I hope it's not to over hot there for all of you. Hope to see you soon.
