DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY: Vid for Embroidery Designers, Dressmakers & Quilters

Sewing with scraps is like a way to connect with our sewing ancestors, who would reuse old garments to turn them into new things in an effort to waste not, want not. These days, it’s rarely less expensive to sew something yourself than it is to buy it in a store, but there are ways to economize your sewing - and saving your scraps to use in future projects is at the top of that list.
There is such a thing as a piece of fabric that’s too small to be scrap-worthy, too. So ask yourself this: Can I physically sew this piece of fabric to another one? Is it large enough for me to maneuver it in my sewing machine without sewing through my own fingers?
If the answer is that the fabric is too small for you to sew, then it’s probably time to retire that one to the trash. But if it’s big enough to sew to something else, keep it! It’s a scrap!
Now that you’ve got a good idea of what makes a fabric scrap, what exactly are you supposed to DO with them all? We’ll be covering that all month-long, but here are some great ideas to get you feeling inspired:
- fussy cuts - cutting a small section out of a piece of fabric to be a visual focal point in a piece
- burst of color - use small pieces of scrap fabrics to accentuate your projects
- new fabric - sew several scraps together to make a larger piece of fabric for a bigger project

It’s so relaxing to watch you doing this. The patchwork, different stitches of embroidery, and everything. You are a pure soul.

[@jessiehaislet3625]

I love watching others sew and do their stuff. This one is mesmerizing. Relaxing.

[@nywvblue]

I hope you enjoyed making this as much as we have enjoyed watching it. Beautiful work.

[@medipakpahan]

I can tell you've done so many stitches before. You even design those and decide what stiches for every part of the design. Awesome!

The first time I have seen applique done like this - base, then snipe and turn as you go. I love it, so I'll try this.

[@hissonshinegirl]

Yes, I agree, I am wondering is this faster than pressing with an iron first then sew the applique?

[@tigger8935]

I was so happy to see this video recommended! I honest to goodness have a cardboard elephant and was trying to think of how to do a fabric patchwork for it!

[@debbieexcell5088]

Definitely an artist at work. I enjoyed watching the tapestry come alive under her skilfully executed stitches.

[@swethadodda604]

WOW!!! I dont have words to praise your patience and precision while stiching. Great talent 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ritarajgor8317]

Wow beautiful,I remember my school days ,this all stitches I was learned in school 😍👍👌

[@akjam1]

I love your sense of color and pattern choices, everything is so gorgeous! ❤

[@julianapegas2043]

I really like the way you sew the applique on, undoing the basting stitch and turning the fabric inside a little at a time. It looks like a technique simple enough for someone who has never tried hand applique, like me! Thank you!

[@rajivsatpute8667]

Kya talent hai yaar. Embroidery ka ek naya roop. You are great.

Oh my goodness, I haven't done any of this sort of embroidery since I was in junior school. You are such a good teacher taking us through every stitch, showing an example first with such patience and calm. It made me feel so relaxed. Very therapeutic. I have an old metal trunk (the grandchildren call it "nanny's treasure trunk") full of different types of material, including scraps which I never throw away, and use to make cushions, pot pouri bags, small toys etc but now I shall have a go at this work of art. You are amazing . Thank you so much
