I'm curious how other people on this list use smaller pieces of
fabric. I'll admit it, I'm looking to steal ideas. Since most of the
fabrics are brocades and damasks, I have a strongly 16th Century
inclination. I'd love to see uses in other periods for other fabrics.
How do you define "small'?
I need about half a yard to line the body of a dress or a ren-fest
bodice. Smaller than that and it goes in a box which I push off on
someone else for crafting, doll clothes, or simply throw away. Mostly
it gets used as a cat bed. :)
Anything larger than half a yard has usually been purchased with a
specific project in mind and there is enough for the jerkin, doublet or
skirt in the piece. I started labeling the yardage so I can tell at a
glance what I've got.
