Project: Heavy Blanket
Heavy blankets are key for comfy couch time – especially in the winter! I usually buy the discount fabric in the back of the store – it’s about 3$ a meter (I pick only fabrics that are 60 inches wide) and I get 2 meters of 5 different fabrics. So, it’s roughly a 30$ project – not bad for keeping warm! Pick out 5 fabrics that aren’t necessarily matchy-matchy but simply look good together. Different textures work well, too. As you can see above –…

History
———————————————————————————————————————————————- 3ten The name comes from? Our address is 310, so that’s the start. An English junkie, and a person who heavily reads into things, looks for underlying meanings, reasons, and signs, 3ten seems to fit. Why? My mother loves the number 3 – it has literature significance all the way from the 3 bears in Goldilocks to the 3 witches in Shakespeare’s MacBeth.
