I love this idea. It would be great for using up clothing you no longer wear or to make keepsakes out of grandmas dresses.
I’m afraid if I start collecting material as I’m spring cleaning though I will just end up in front of the sewing machine and all cleaning will come to a complete halt! haha!
Does anyone else do that?
I don’t sew much but I like to take fabric scraps and use them to make wreaths (either by tying strips to a coat hanger or by making little squares that can be punched into a foam form). I also like to make greeting cards using scraps of fabric cut into seasonal or theme related shapes. I think I will try to make a small quilt with scraps but will have to do it by hand as my daughter has my sewing machine.
This is perfect for my husband to make! He used my sewing machine a few days ago for the first time ever and he’s hooked – running aroind looking for things to “fix” or maybe he’all make me a dress – uhmm no! Don’t get me wrong after I convinced him I wasn’t being a B**** in telling him he cannot use the Velcro with the glue on the back that’s why the thread and machine are breaking and seizing – 4 times! 4 TIMES – of this and him switching to the sew on Velcro made him realize he enjoys sewing lol I did promise him I’ll teach him this weekend to use the serger. I bet I can guess what everyone will get for Christmas this year. Thanks for posting this it’s perfect for us.
