Love that you show a real working studio space not the “ decorative version of a sewing space “. In order to work on many projects at one time my fabrics need to be organized and even placed into project boxes with labels and instructions for the remaining steps. That way I can be super productive with my work time. You are so inspiring!

I am learning how to quilt small projects finally. I've been crocheting for 18 years. I have cut up some of the fabric into strips and made fabric yarn. Makes great crochet rugs. All of the very small pieces not sewing worthy are great for stuffing crochet projects such as amigurini, pillows, etc. I have mixed them with fiberfill. I am now tackling organizing the rest of her stash. Organizing yarn scraps is another beast lol..... Thank you for sharing all of your tips!❤

I’m working on my scraps. Using 10”papers and sewing strips diagonally onto the papers. Then I trim off the fabric that hangs over and make 10” squares. I may use the squares for a bedspread for our king-sized bed.

The scrap buckets: you put it in a pillowcase to make a dog bed in shelter. Very confort. Or ina "bubble quilt " to make a mattress! Right now, I am making a kid mattress with scrap like your to put inside.

I use to do that, but now our local shelter does not take fabric beds cause the dogs tear them up and then eat the fabric and sad things happen from there. So they don't accept them no more. I have a guy a city over that takes it all for pillow case beds at his rescue center.

I have been cutting and sorting my fabric that way ever since I started to clean up my sewing room. I still have a few lots of fabric to cut up. I am going to have to buy more bins for them soon.

@@TiffanysQuiltingLife No I have not used them yet. I am in a slump at the moment but I did make 2 more cross-over bags with extra zippered pockets in them. I used mine when I went to the Brisbane quilt show on Wednesday. Not much fabric there that I wanted to buy. For a change, I DID NOT BUY ANY FABRIC that day but I was really sore in my legs and back from walking up all those stairs. 16 in all. I was glad to be home as I could barely walk for the next few days.

@@TiffanysQuiltingLifeIt was the first one since before the pandemic that I wanted to go to. I was really disappointed with it I only spent $3 on a bag strap to use for the blue bag. I ran out of the fabric for the strap and I am going to use that instead.
