whole lotta goodness

Last week I received this great bunch of Lotta Jansdotter fabric remnants in the mail. All high-quality linen, in lots of different sizes, from 5 x 5 inch squares all the way up to 72 x 13 inches! Lotta has restocked her website with super cute little Lotta drawstring bags, each filled with a mix of her leftover fabrics (a web exclusive). I bought two bags, one with the larger remnants, which had about four or five different fabric pieces in it and a second one with maybe ten or so different kinds of fabrics in a bunch of smaller sizes. She asks that you don’t use them to make items to sell, which is not a problem at all for me, since I can think of approximately 101 things to make for myself.

I’ve started with a new set of summer pillow covers for my living room. I used some neutral color linen to complete each pillow, making an envelope closure on the backside. I think maybe a tote bag is next and possibly some sort of simple linen throw with some bits of these fabrics pieced into a patchwork stripe running the length of it.
