This is where I work - as well as on the kitchen table,  on the bed in the spare room, and sometimes on the floor in the living room!

How do I decide which fabrics to work with on each item?  Well, I approach my selection in a very scientific manner.  I throw all the fabric on my bed, and keep mixing them around until I find an interesting combination.  And then I keep my fingers crossed that there is enough material to build whatever it was that I had in mind!
