cotton and thread

Sorting out some haberdashery, I thought I'd attempt a white on white image, as I haven't done this for ages.

On Wednesday I was given a couple of bags of fabric and haberdashery, donated to Guides after a shop closure. Today I sorted through the second bag and found that as well as the promised zips - 40-50 of different sizes, there were buttons, beads, cotton reels and needles. The first bag is full of fabrics and I checked that one on the night. The plan is to make half of it up into stuff Guides can sell for funds, and use the rest for ourselves for our own nefarious uses.

There's also a huge crate of embroidery silks and tapestry wool in the roof space from the same source. Those I've partially put into kits for craft activities (friendship bracelets, Christmas decorations for this year's tree) before Christmas before hiding it all away for the time being.

Three good things:
1. My daughter is continuing to make her new jeans and I remembered how to put the rivets in without destroying any more than we needed.
2. There are several double ended zips in the zip stash, as well as matching zips and threads for the fabrics, so we can make bags for sale/presents/donation
3. In daylight the fabrics we selected to make donated goods all blend and work together well.

Thank you for looking and the lovely comments and favs on my pictures. I choose not to say thank you individually here, but look at your photos instead.

I'm impressed with your skills with cloth and thread!

Lovely image... great POV and focus.

[Dione Giorgio]

Impressive capture. Great white on white shot and pov. The needle really stands out in this shot.

Btw Maybe I didn't explain perfectly myself on yesterday's picture. I wanted to say that I preferred the b&w version

[Shanne]

@sangwann that makes sense - on your picture you'd chosen the b&w version as you preferred it. (This is not converted, but it didn't need it.)

Lovely white on white image

[Inga Johansson]

Good focus. White on white is really tricky, at least I often get warm tones that I don't like. This one works well.

Great white on white

[Humphrey Hippo]

Sounds like quite the treasure trove. I like that this has subtle tones to it rather than pure white. It gives it a real softness.

[Richard Sayer]

Not easy to do but this works well.

[Brigette]

Nice image

A wonderful white on white with great composition. Sounds as if you managed to snag a real treasure trove of stuff for the Guides!
I was once a Pathfinder leader. I really enjoyed working with the girls.
