Lisa Watmough uses scraps for her furnishings. Her work aboveI dreamt last night that I took my enormous piles of fabric scraps and used them as stuffings for pillows and furniture. I sewed clear plastic casings for them so the variety of colours could be seen and left openings so I could take out fabric I wanted to use.
I think this is a good idea considering my trunks, baskets and boxes full of fabric.
Except the plastic coverings are a bit oppresive and sticky in this heat.

There are loads of artists using scrap fabric again. I remember covering couches and chairs in crazy quilt patterns in the early seventies. I really love the scrappy look but it certainly could be dressed up and more polished.

I've always wanted to open a home decor shop like this, with refurbished and very funky furniture and soft furnishings!
