Fabric scraps are like little treasures looking for new homes! I use fabric scraps in my mixed media artwork, journal covers, “new clothes”, embellishments, bags, little beds for the furry critters and more!

If you like paper and fabric, trying making fabric paper!

Strip piecing and crumb piecing are two great methods for using up small bits of fabric. I recently took a class with Diane Rode Schneck and learned these fun methods. You can see photos of some of the sample blocks I made from my scraps in class here: http://tinyurl.com/dzu2mx

Doll clothes! I use to just wind them around my dolls and pin them into snazzy fashions. Now I show my daughters how to do the same.

I just finished making a quilted furoshiki (Japanese cloth to use as reusable wraps) – all hand stitched on both sides. (soon to be listed on my shop when it’s finished) I made it to use up my scraps but I still have little bits and pieces left. I was looking to make flowers and brooches out of them but I couldn’t find a tutorial I liked. I’m glad I read this. I can’t wait to try the tut. Thanks!

Fabric scraps would be great for scrapbooking! It’s all about the right glue. Would Mod Podge be OK for scrapbooking? I’m not sure how acidic it is, but if you paint it on in thin coats you can avoid bubbles and wrinkles.

Pillow stuffing is a great one, too!

I’m always looking for stuff to do with fabric scraps! I’m hoping to be able to start using some of them as embellishments to cross over to my other main crafting hobby (scrapbooking). Also in the process of piecing together bits of muslin from a previous test project for a much-needed jewelry organizer (if only I could find something clear to use for the pockets that isn’t that evil clear vinyl! And lately I’ve been using the bits that come off of my serger/pieces I cut out that are too small to use for other things to stuff pillows– my IKEA bed has a pretty large gap between the mattress and the wall, and I’m hoping to fill it in!
