This is a whole next level of not wasting fabric. I’m impressed 😮

[@tesscahill6110]

Omg those are gorgeous Now what do you do with the scraps of the scraps? 🤣

[@recreatefulchannel]

Thank you so much!! 🤍 Hahaha good question! I always save my small scraps in a bag over a few weeks and then give them to recycling. Some clothes shops take them in to make more fabric out of them again :)

[@suides4810]

Some people put them in pillows or ragdoll toys

[@gildahobbs8829]

​@@suides4810 that's a great idea!

[@raynie8790]

Stuffed animal filling.

[@merelha5930]

in the Netherlands they have collection bins for clothing and fabric (and clean shoes I think?). They donate all the still usable pieces and use the other things for things like chair stuffing

[@dashiajames1882]

Patch work wear are trendy now. Cute & stylish. Great work.

[@Ben-kv7wr]

I want more of this! In historical sewing this is called piecing, it used to be way more common because fabric was like stupid expensive back in the day 😂

[@recreatefulchannel]

I have kind of stopped posting but I do patchwork all the time, so might have a another video or two soon! 😃 How interesting! "Piecing" makes more sense too

I love the result but ngl when people say "scraps" and when i say scraps we dont mean the same XD I would never have enough material, as most of my scraps are like 30x50cm pieces. But if i wanted a real colourful mixmatch pair i now know what to do!

[@recreatefulchannel]

30x50cm is a great piece of scrap though! :D what are you making that these are the scraps you end up with? 🥰

Thank you! 😍

[@KarsonBone-wy2lp]

I did something like this not that long ago were I made a table runner with denim and a red cotton cloth, and it took me 12 hours to do it took a lot of work but was worth it

[@recreatefulchannel]

That sounds lovely 😍 it is a lot of work but once it's done it can last for such a long time!

[@Ac3_Silvers]

Pro tip: make the scraps in a way that “puzzle pieces” into the flats needed to sew the pants, and you automatically have less scraps and save time. Also: another way to reduce waste is to”zero waste” sewing patterns, or to do things that are made of simple triangles and rectangles only. It’s why a LOT of historical clothing is actually very simple, patter piece wise. It makes the waste virtually nonexistent and it’s easier for the average person to make.

[@recreatefulchannel]

Good points but will sometimes mean that the style of it will have to be sacrificed

[@Ac3_Silvers]

@@recreatefulchannel fair, everyone has different aesthetics and stuff. I use a LOT of batik and calico, so I keep my scraps sorted by color and pattern “category” (florals, tie die, geometric, stripes, etc) and make patchwork stuff like harem pants and omiyage bags with them.

[@aukkran]

Love the result! I'm saving all my scraps but upcycling them in such a nice way looks so hard and time consuming, I wonder if I'll ever get anything out of them lol

[@recreatefulchannel]

It is time consuming but these scrap diys have recently become my favourite diys 😂

[@hadang9679]

Do you have to sew a straight stitch line next to your serger seam to make sure the seam is durable and not unraveled? Why when I use serger, the threads seem to get loose and I have to secure them with a straight stitch line

[@recreatefulchannel]

Its generally not a bad idea and for extra durability I'd keep doing that! What it also could be however is that the tension on the machine is too low which is why the thread is too loose. Make sure to feed the oveelocker thread back in on itself and not just cut it off as well as that can cause unravelling too

[@hadang9679]

@@recreatefulchannel hi, thank you for getting back to me! I love learning more about sewing, I took 2 years of fashion design back in high school but I stopped sewing for years and forgot mostly everything, lol. I would love to start sewing again. I saw some people making clothes with just serger alone without using a sewing machine and keep wondering if that’s even possible and if the clothes stay nice after a wash. And when you say feed it back in, does that mean when we get to the end, we need to keep running the serger till it reaches the start point?

[@recreatefulchannel]

@@hadang9679 no problem at all :) I use only a serger for some of my makes and it has worked well :) I think it depends! with feeding it back I mean to run the serger a little longer than the seam you are sewing and then using a needles to feed that last bit of thread through itself so that the seam does not come loos, cause you can't backstitch on a serger

[@hadang9679]

so for this project, when you attach the small fabrics together into a big fabric and then cut the pants patterns from it. Did the threads get loose or still attached after you cut the pattern? Did you only use the serger when you made these pants?

Heyy, i wanted to make something for someone special and i wanted to know (since I know a little bit of sewing/crocheting and stuff) what's easier? Crochet or sawing?

[@recreatefulchannel]

Hi :) unfortunately I only know how to sew so can't really judge! Crocheting can easily be done lying down in bed which is cool, but sewing is usually quite quick since you are not creating the materials :D both will be great though :)

[@painfullythicc]

@@recreatefulchannel thank you so muchh!! ❤️❤️

[@alexia52118]

ik I'm super late on this, but I do both, and in my opinion it's easier to master crochet, but basic sowing will get you further significantly faster and is typically more versatile
