If you're anything like me, you'll have a healthy stash of little pieces of fabric. Mine is growing at an alarming rate, as I find it hard to throw away even the smallest of scraps. Today I'm sharing 50 projects from the ongoing sewing link parties here at Threading My Way. All can be sewn with small, left over pieces of fabric or with tiny scraps pieced together.

ReplyDeleteDear Pam,
ReplyDeleteThank you, for the great remnants of tutorials that you show today. My leftovers are getting more and more ... and it's nice to always have matching fabrics ready.
Tomorrow I'll link your blog to me.
Greetings Klaudia
Haha, Pam,
ReplyDeleteone more here - no way I'd throw away any scraps. I've made soo many totally cute things out of them, and creativity is guaranteed when you get to combine colors and prints in a new way! Have a great day,
I used to keep even the tiniest of scraps, way back when I did paper piecing and could use them. Now, I just keep things that are over about 2", and the rest go in a bag for dog beds. Selvages I save for selvage projects. While my scraps are actually very well organized, they're expanding at an exponential rate, and I need to corral them before there's no room in my sewing room for ME! Those fabric letters and that fabric memory game in particular look like good projects to use up some pretty scraps and make some wonderful gifts! Then, of course, they could go in a matching scrappy drawstring bag :D
ReplyDeleteWow...so many new ideas for me to use up my precious scraps! Thanks Pam, for sharing these. I love quick projects that fill my sewing soul and still look great!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely projects to make! I keep all my scraps... and everyone else's that doesn't want theirs!! Thanks for sharing xx
ReplyDeleteQuite honestly, some of the featured fabrics are so nice that it would be a shame not to make something out of them! (Thanks for including my basket.)
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas. I'm a sucker for a cute fabric so all of these look doable to me! Visiting from Really Crafty Party.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Victoria. There are some very quick and easy projects in the collection.

Hello Pam!
