Fun and creative things you can do with leftover scrap fabric pieces from rag rugs and wreaths to pin cushions
Show of hands, who doesn’t have a pile of fabric scraps laying around the house? Anybody? Of course you do. We all have a little craft hoarder inside of us, right?
Actually, for me it is more of a recycling issue than anything else. So much of what we buy ends up in a landfill and fast fashion is one of the worst culprits!
Anytime we buy fabric for a sewing or quilt project, there are always leftover scraps. So, I decided to find some cool fabric scraps projects to share with you. The best part is, all you really need is a sharp pair of fabric scissors.
One of my favorite ways to use up old t-shirts, blue jeans and other clothing, is to make them into t-shirt yarn and denim yarn. These thick lengths of yarn can then easily be crocheted into rugs, purses, tote bags, trivets, potholders and any other pattern that calls for a heavy yarn.
I asked a bunch of my fellow craft bloggers to share fabric scrap ideas. Honestly, I’m always so impressed by the creativity.
This fun craft roundup includes a little bit of everything: We have a very pretty leftover fabric hair bow, some no sew wreaths, a burlap pillow and an upcycled denim pocket shirt.
A great, big Thank You to the Ladies for allowing me to share their clever fabric scraps projects and ideas. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
