Back to school -

No - not me - not this time - LOL - ;))

My friend works for the school district - so it's that time of year again - when she asks me to hem her work pants - and I say - YES!! - She's special - so I don't mind -

But I had to set aside the Big Box of Magical Things - temporarily -

Before I did - I got this far -

Some big squares - and some little ones -

Sets of 2 big ones and 4 little ones -

A bunch of purple squares - both sizes -

Got some squares out of the triangles, too -

It might be hard to see on the dark foam -

But from the back of the die - you can see I can get quite a few squares from these pieces - and the extra bits can go in the "crumb" bin -

This bunch of scraps was really fun to cut up -

Lots of squares -

Even got one out of this funky little piece -

And then lots of little 1-1/2" squares - I need sets of 5 and sets of 4 -

Needed ONE more of this one - so I used my LEFT-EZE™ Rule to trim it -

Using the diagonal line and the 1-1/2" mark on the ruler -

Cut up and across - and if you're wondering if it comes out to 1-1/2" square without having a line drawn on the right side - for a square -

Yes - it does -
The "match point" is the point where the diagonal meets the 1-1/2" horizontal line -

More little squares - to be bagged in sets of 5 and sets of 4 -

I bagged up what I had - and set them aside -

To play with hemming these -

And now that they are all done -

I can play with something else tomorrow - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
