While I wait for a replacement for my leaky iron, I’ve been thinking about how to use what I already have. Lately I have been pondering what to do with my scraps.
You can always use your scraps to practice on, or rip into strips to tie up your tomatoes. But you love that pattern! Every time you see it in your stash you sigh and put it back. It’s just too small. Or is it?
Here are some things to do with that piece that you may not have thought of:
- Bias tape
- Quilt squares
- Pocket linings
- Facings
- Doll clothes
- Covered buttons
- Multi-colored projects
- Accent stripes
- Color blocking and piecing
- Contrast welting
- Headbands, barrettes, bows
- Luggage tags
- Pattern weights
- Applique
- Patches
- Baby clothes
- Patches
- Napkins (assemble a mixed set)
- Small bags (coin purses, earphone case, etc.)
- Sachets for your drawers
Of course, these are just a few possibilities. What do you do with your scraps?
