As I look around, there is a pile of fabric scraps in the corner. A grocery sack of leftover fabrics from various Halloween costumes. I've even got an old shoebox full of cut out scraps that were my grandmother's.
I don't regret keep the fabric scraps, but really, what am I going to do with them all? The answer. Make one of these amazing scrap fabric projects.
If you are like me, those scraps have been around for YEARS! So why not make this year the year of the scrap pile projects.
Instead of purchasing more fabric. Try working your way through your scrap pile.
Pick 3 or 4 projects below and use up those scraps to make small gifts for family, friends, neighbors, church groups or teachers. Or perhaps, create several projects to donate to local shelters or hospitals.
Your scrap pile doesn't have to end up being and giant pain the the bum. Instead, find several things to sew with scraps and get stitching.
