Bye Bye Scraps! How to Use All Your Leftover Scraps (Even the Tiny Ones)

I’m going to share my best sewing tips on how to organize leftover fabric, reuse waste pieces of small fabric, transform scraps into beautiful patchworks and get them ready to be used for your quilting projects.
This is the perfect sewing idea for beginners to recycle and reduce fabric waste.
After watching the video you will never throw away even the smallest leftover scrap again!
It's a very creative and useful sewing tip that will get rid of your scraps once and for all. Your fabric stash will get used all at once, even before you can think of a project for them.

Still fighting the scrap war and this is the most effective way I've ever seen!😊 Give it a go and let me know if you agree!

[@kristicitak3932]

Once a month!!! Beautiful idea. Thank you for the idea!!!! 💡 ❤❤

[@cynthiadana2424]

Training your precision ! What a smart idea , I will start doing this , thanks for the tip

I sew 2.5” squares together to make lap quilts from my scraps

[@joydalton4987]

I love the ideas. I want to see the sampler quilt when you make it

[@karin0963]

Those tiny squares are so cute. I haven't tried to make scrap blocks but I sure need to. I'm in the process of cleaning out and organizing my sewing room closet.

[@seweasybysandy]

It makes such a big difference!

[@teresaallen4933]

I really enjoy your videos. ❤

[@lindalosier5989]

I love sewing my scraps. I really like the idea of sewing them into blocks to make a quilt when you have enough. I really need to work on staying on top of my scraps so I can control the scrap clutter in my sewing room.

[@seweasybysandy]

That's so important. I wasn't as organised and things were getting out of hand

Have you watched a web-piecing demo? How to piece in columns to keep patches in place, so you don't lose your placement? Lay out your block Chain piece the vertical row, column 1&2, keep the pieces connected. Add the next piece to the proper side, usually the right, column no.3, until all pieces are connected, in.place. Turn your block 1/4 turn, and sew the previously horizontal seams. Done. Do you know about leaders and enders, done to get things out of under the needle? Or between units, to save thread ends. Once you have enough, do an alt block. Get enough for a bonus quilt. Piece some into a quilt back? Sew up snowball off-cuts? Do a second seam 1/2" away in the off-cut area, for a done triangle to be cut off, less finicky to piece. You can combine or sash to get your blocks the same size, or do 4 - squares units together, then sew 4 of them together for larger 16 - square pieces. You can Frame your interesting tiny patches, or use same sizes in double 4-patch units. Using squares or sashing strips, log cabin, attic window, or courthouse steps. You can get pinwheels or broken dishes units with hst's, keep making them all bigger by adding bits, or use a jelly roll to fit them with enough strips to fit them together like a wide rail fence. You can use partial seams to add a square in the centre. Or use alt plain, or j roll, large squares? How about piano key border strips, just cut to length later? Use alt widths, cut to one length & sew a strip together and add to the roll when you have a minute, or are needing a longer piece? Where, you have cut a square from a triangle scrap, can you get a hst from the smaller left bits, add some white? They don't all have to be small. Nobody can tell you no, don't do that, it's Your quilt. Whatever you choose, have fun, all the best.

Thank you!

Do you mean Chain piecing? I've never heard of web piecing. It has been known as Chain piecing for decades, as a way of keeping the pieces together after sewing them together in rows, to be able to sew them together, in order, into columns.

[@user-go2wy7zc4k]

Would love to see the finished quilt when done

[@soniac.9085]

Recently I’ve been doing this “sort of”. When I’ve finished a project I will cut the remaining fabric into 2.5” squares for a patchwork block, 2.5 x 6.5 for split rail fence block and 2.5 x 5 for a mixed match block. 1.5” strips for a string block.

[@seweasybysandy]

that's perfect. much easier to use after!

[@kimberlyjardine8634]

❤❤❤

[@suejameson1517]

Good ideas but I agree you should close your blade!

[@mlsmiles2]

What foot are you using on your machine?

[@seweasybysandy]

Hi! It's my 1/4 inch foot.

[@user-fy1de6xl1c]

Когда смотрю иностранные видео, очень часто в них ткани режут слева. Неужели так много левшей? Удивительно

[@barbaram6303]

I donate my scraps…others can enjoy…

[@seweasybysandy]

I used to do that! I would give them to a dear friend who's no longer with us. When she passed I decided to try and see what she liked so much about scraps. And now I'm hooked hehehe

[@shelaghfolgate1468]

Please CLOSE your blade. Giving me shivers watching. SO dangerous 😳

[@seweasybysandy]

You're absolutely right, I have to be more careful. Thanks

[@auntdello5286]

I prefer to use the Olfa rotary cutter, because it automatically retracts.​@seweasybysandy

[@seweasybysandy]

@@auntdello5286 this one is olfa too but not the retractable version. I'll have to look into that because I keep forgetting to close my blade and, even though I've never had any issues, I know that for the videos I need to set a higher safety standard...
