Unlike the slower turn around by Pound Fabrics, I received an order within 24 hours from ECC. They do a lovely lightweight cotton woven fusible interfacing. This time I will note down what it is so I know what to order next time. I have a box of interfacing bits from all over and I haven’t kept any record of what they are or where I bought them. Must get some organisation round here.

@Puzzler oh I’m so with you there.  Labelled mine and they fell off!    :laughing:
Must fix labels more securely.  I’m a big fan of ECC and recently got several metres of my fave interfacing.  Their cotton ones are lovely too.

@Ohsewsimple I have started putting specialist fabrics in plastic bags with a label inside. So now I know what (some of it) is for.  I use large zip-lock freezer bags and the resealable bags that things are delivered in.  Also good for the slippery lengths that kept unfolding all over the place. Like silk - and it keeps the moths out.

Ah but that would mean me being organised @toileandtrouble  :laughing:
But yes it’s a good idea for interfacing

I'm not very organised, but I do keep my interfacings in labelled bags! I love ECC interfacings as well.
A day without sewing is a day wasted.

Ok I have bags and that will be a little job for me tomorrow or the next day.   :)

Well, full disclosure, I have mine in bags but the label on one them says ‘various fusible interfacing’.  :S

 :laughing:   I have a bag which says ‘scraps of fusible interfacing' which is useful for stabilising things like points of godets, plackets etc.  I also have another one that says 'scraps of woven interfacing'!  I just don’t seem very organised with the larger pieces which started out neat and tidy in my large drawer and now get thrown in after use! :rolleyes:
