How to sew crumbs (scraps) together

Watch me start with a pile of scraps and end up with a beautifully colorful tote bag! If you'd like to see how to piece crumbs of fabric together so that you can use all your small pieces of fabric and turn them into wonderful pieces of art, then this is the video for you!
This isn't exactly a tutorial, but I filmed it so you could watch my process from when I start piecing the differently sized fabric scraps together, up until I turn them into a tote bag. You could use this process to make any number of items, such as potholders, table runners, mug rugs, quilts and more. Use your imagination to take your beautiful scraps and turn them into beautiful creations! I hope you enjoy watching me sew!

It always surprises me that people aren’t totally grateful for all these marvellous free videos. It’s sad that you experience negative feedback when you’re offering gold!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Aww, thank you! I am sometimes quite shocked with what people comment. I used to leave them all up, but now, I sometimes delete the nasty or negative comments. I guess I don't understand the need to say something negative, instead of just moving to another channel.

[@vickifolsomeggleston4642]

I am enjoying this video very much. Thank you for putting it up for us to see. I do enjoy watching and making my own scrap/crumb panels. I think people post negative comments because with the arrival of social media they begin to believe their opinion matters most of all. Instead they are just rude. Again thank youn for posting this great video.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Vicki! I apologize that I didn't reply to your comment, but I just noticed it today. It was turned under someone else's comment, so I don't get a notification for it. I happened to be here looking for something and saw what you wrote . Anyway... I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video and I agree with what you wrote about people using social media... they're brave behind the keyboard 🙄

My grandmother made scrap quilts. She sat on a slipper rocker by the oil furnace and piece the top in winter. In summer her quilting frame was set up in her bedroom. The shades down, window open. She’d sit in front of it and quilt in the darkened, cool room. I consider it a great blessing she lived next door to me. She didn’t talk much to anybody so I didn’t talk to her. One day she took a break from piecing, took down her top knot and combed her long white hair with the same combs she used to keep it up with. I was sitting on the floor watching. Uncharacteristically, she stopped, turned and looked right at me and said, “Long hair is a woman’s glory.”

[@Faye-bwa23]

Love the memory you shared.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

That’s absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!! l watched my great-grandmother piece crazy quilts at ages 6-7 by sitting next to (and at her feet) while she pedaled her treadle sewing machine. Your memory is so special, thank you!

[@debramccafferty2918]

So THAT’S why I’m growing my white hair long? LOL! I loved your post!

For those of us that have some knowledge under our belt, it was good to see a project come together. 🇨🇦

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thanks! Yes, I’d gone over a lot of techniques in my 5 part Freestyle Scrap Tote Bag series and so I used this video as less of a tutorial and more for people who wanted to see how I get crumbs put together, start to finish. It’s my #1 question (how to sew crumbs together), so I figured this video would be helpful to those people (my Mom is one of them). I hope you give it a try! Of course as I’m sure you know, you can turn the crumb fabric into anything from a bag, to potholders, to a pillow. Have fun!

[@birdlady8147]

Love it.

[@helenbardawil4909]

This scrappy bag is beautiful. If I hadn't watched the video I would have thought that it was ready made fabric and that is because you iron at every stage and open up the seams of the scraps you've sawn together. Well done and thank you. God bless

Hi Juanita! 94 and still sewing, that’s fantastic! My mom just turned 91 and like you, she still sews. I’m glad to hear you love scraps, too! I think they’re fun to sew with, but I also don’t like to throw anything away that is useful. Happy sewing! 🧵

[@marym8028]

God bless you. I am 80, and although I sewed quite a bit, even supported myself with my sewing for two years, I haven't touched a machine in ages. But now I'd really like to try a scappy quilt because it looks like fun, but I don't have scraps, lol. My second choice is a Jacob's Ladder but for that I'll buy new cotton. Looking forward to a busy winter as I have four great-grandchildren to make quilts for, and I've never tried quilting before. LOL and I thought there would be no more "firsts" for me at this age. :)

[@6869-h1l]

I love your scrappy bag Marie. I don't sew much, so giving us your stitch length is extremely handy. I don't have a sewing machine that has a digital screen, but it gives me a rough guide for my stitch length. I find it very relaxing to watch you sew while I do my craft work (crocheting or knitting) 👍

Thank you so much for such a detailed narration and no music. i enjoyed the entire experience.

Very enjoyable and it has definitely inspired me to do this bag.

Marie, your voice is calming and you give great tips as you chat and sew. I appreciate your pinning, stitching and pressing methods. I've tried the basting spray and once cured me. I ended up with spray on my surface and it was a sticky mess. I've seen others doing it and I'm amazed that no one has my issues of stray spray. Thanks for not using music! I just found you so I have plenty to watch.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Alice! You’re very welcome on the n”not using music” part… That drives me crazy on so many videos. Sometimes I really want to watch them, but I just can’t get past it. Anyway, thank you so much for watching and then for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed the video. I am old-school as far as pinning and pressing go, ha ha. Sometimes I don’t pin as much as what I showed in this video, but since I was filming it, I wanted to make a good example. I truly feel that pinning and pressing are an important part of sewing. A lot of people just throw these things together and I can’t imagine how they do it without pins to put things in place and a good crease with an iron. I know exactly what you mean about the spray baste and I used to lay out newspaper across my sewing area, and then placed my pieces down to use the basting spray. I’ve gotten to the point now where I can keep it mostly on the project and not on my table. When I first started using it without the newspaper, I would keep rubbing alcohol near my table, and I would put that on a paper towel and wipe off the sticky stuff. I understand what you mean, though, it can make a terrible mess!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Marie, I really really enjoyed watching you creating this amazing and beautiful bag. Your friend is going to love ❤️ it. I really really love ❤️ it too. It’s absolutely and utterly stunning. I also iron everything as I go it’s really something that make’s the finished piece look so very very well put together too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thanks so much and I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video! I made the video back in July, just before I gifted it to my friend for her birthday. She’s blind, so she can’t actually see it, but she does love it, nonetheless. I think ironing and pinning makes a world of difference in the way a finished project looks. I know there are a lot of people who don’t do either and they just seem to slap things together, but it really makes me wonder about their items. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, and I appreciate that you took the time to write to me. Take care and happy sewing!

[@connieking9873]

So glad I found your channel when Brenda sent us over a couple months ago. I have been enjoying your videos. Yes I have crumb been quilting for about 4 years. Your comment about relaxing you is right on. It is great to see how others do projects so when I can’t sleep at night I turn down the volume and binge. I started with Darlene Michaud. The first thing I learned was the only thing you need to do is have a straight edge. WELLLL from there I evolved I don’t pin with the crumbs as I have my magnet for my seam,but I do press and trim I do sew my triangles together to make a square if they are in my stack. I have learned that pressing open my seams on the blocks with really small pieces reduces the bulk. Finally hit the subscribe button always the like button. Thanks for the refresher. One thing I learned was seeing the corners of the bag and lining together. I have always just tacked the bottom. I like this much better. One tip I leave a handful of pieces big and small to fill in when near the end so I can add to if a little short rather than trimming off to make my blocks. I also try to have only bigger outside edge when almost done for trimming so the seams don’t come to close to the edge after trimming as less of a chance to pull apart after washing .

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hi Connie, and thank you so much for your wonderful comment! To be honest, most times, I don’t pin my crumbs, but since I was filming it to put up on KZbin , I thought I should maybe do it. Although sometimes if I want them just right , or just in a certain way, I tend to pin them, but usually not as much as I did during this video, ha ha. I agree wholeheartedly that pressing my seams open allows for less bulk. I’m so glad you subscribed and I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me. Thank you and have a wonderful week!

I found it back in July when I was working on this for my friend and I hesitated, dropping it since I have never really made a video similar to this, and I wasn’t sure how well received it would be, since I spent so much time on just the piecing. Judging by the feedback I’ve received, I’d say that it was well received, and I’m happy that you found it helpful. My friend absolutely loves her bag! Normally, I use all kinds of shapes in my crumb piecing, but since she’s blind, I wanted her to be able to easily feel and distinguish between the shapes easily, so I kept it with rectangles and squarish shapes.

Marie, loved this video! Learned a couple of new things too. Like the idea of serpentine stitch in middle of straps, going to do that on future bags. I don’t quilt as close as you do though, my preference is to quilt enough to keep things together and still have a pleasing pleasing affect. As you often say, “It’s your bag, do what you want”, do love your quilting though. It was not at all boring and I was able to do some hand sewing of my binding to the back of my latest finished quilt. Thank you so much for sharing all your informative tutorials.

This was a great video this morning. My process of sewing crumbs is very similar to yours. I also love to give them a good press. I find it makes for a much neater finish. You use more pins than I do, and that’s probably why I get a little off kilter at times! And don’t we all wish we could speed up that fast sometimes?! Your finished bag was truly delightful!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you, Nancy! As I had just told another commentor, I normally don’t use that many pins when it’s just me, but since I was filming for KZbin, I thought maybe I should set a good example, ha ha. I’m really laughing about that, since that’s about the only time that I set a good example… when I’m filming, lol. I agree, that ironing makes a world a difference. I have seen many videos where the KZbinr doesn’t press and it drives me crazy. But then again, I’m always saying everyone should do their own thing. But that’s of course, not counting my OCD, L O L!

Loved this and would love to make one. Thanks for the video.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You’re welcome 😊 I hope you give a tote bag a try! If you're interested, I have a 5 part bag series called the Freestyle Scrap Tote Bag series. Happy sewing!

[@Karendavissutv]

You’re right may of us didn’t need a tutorial to make this bag but I watched it and loved the bag and you make your bags pretty much like I make mine. Great job!

Hi there Marie, I’m so glad that i found you. Thank you so much for your video. Now i want to get all my scraps together. I just love your tote bag. I just loved watching you. I’m watching you from South Africa 🌻

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Hello to you in South Africa, and thanks for letting me know that you found my content helpful 😀 I hope you gave a lot of fun with your scraps!!

Beautifully made bag 🇺🇲. Lots of features on it. Thanks for the video 😊

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you so much 😊. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you letting me know. I hope you have a wonderful week and happy sewing!

[@DettieDeshotel]

Loved it.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Aww, I’m so glad! I hope I inspired you to sew some scraps! 🧵🥰🪡

[@joycoast8638]

thank you for this video, watch it all, love it.I just started up sowing and art after many years. Look forward to your next video.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Wonderful! I'm SO happy that you enjoyed this! It was a LOT of fun to sew this project, too!

[@annholmes9650]

Fabulous, love this bag so much, it was absolutely amazing watching it all come together! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I have. Ever done any quilting and use so many different fabrics that I don't think I would ever gather enough same type to make anything. Thank you x x x

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you give it a try!

[@Chitterboye]

This was so satisfying to simply watch the process! Thank you.❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it! I know what you mean, though, it’s almost mesmerizing to watch. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment, I appreciate that. Happy sewing!

[@DettieDeshotel]

I’m so I presses with your tote bag. Your friend must have loves it. For her birthday.

[@unlisted9831]

Thank you for the Beautyful video

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thanks for visiting and I'm glad you liked the video 🥰

[@cocotheo]

You are a master at scrappy sewing! I love your style.🎉

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you so much. I’m so glad that you’re watching and enjoying my content. Have a wonderful Monday!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Beautiful bag❤❤😊

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you! 😊. I had a lot of fun, making it for my best friend, who is blind. She loves her bag!

[@sonniecampbell1788]

What a great video. So interesting to see it come together! And great tips too. Love the quilting.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy that you (and others) found this video helpful. I was being asked all the time about how I sew scraps together, so I thought it was about time to film it. Thank you so much for watching and for writing a comment for me. Happy sewing!

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

I love this bag! I make purses and grocery bags similar to yours, and they are SO MUCH fun! You mentioned that a person gets attached to a project when they put so much time and effort into it. So true. I just made a few little mug rugs with appliqués I colored with crayons, and for some reason I just really love them. I gave one away already, but the others will stay here since they have my initial on one and my husband's on the other. LOL

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Those mug, rugs sound adorable! I have heard of coloring on fabric, but I’ve never tried it. Sounds like you like making bags as much as I do, ha ha!

[@bernicewetherby5302]

Thank you so much for these videos. I have been sewing for many years, but mostly clothing. I am having so much fun sewing different creations now and you are an inspiration and your videos are very informative.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Aww, you’re so sweet to say that! I’m so glad I could help you out. When people ask me if I sew shirts and other clothing, I always tell them that it’s two completely different things to sew what I do, versus clothes. I’m glad that you stepped into the next realm of sewing, ha ha.

[@marygainey6908]

Great job. I love to sew scrappy..❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

​@marygainey6908 thank you, Mary! Sorry, but your comment didn't show up. I just noticed it here

[@Tilas8]

I’m back again!!!! I know I don’t need to know how to sew crumbs. But I’m here just to watch you sew crumbs, I am here to see how your technique is different from mine. I’m not here to critique but just to have a sewing friend. I like your really long crumb videos while I’m sewing. The quilt of valor would be for myself.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

I’m so glad that you like this. I hesitated before dropping this video on KZbin because at first, I thought it was a bit long. I have had a lot of positive, but also negative, feedback. Some people love the in-depth look, while others said I spent too long showing the same thing. To me, I find it to be a fun way to spend my time, ha ha. Thank you so much for watching, and for taking the time to leave me a comment. Happy sewing!

[@cclinton2012]

Thanks for this Marie. I found it very useful to see how methodically and easily you sewed scraps together. Regarding your comment about a 'silent' video, I don't think it matters sometimes that there's no music or voice-over. It can be restful to watch the process in silence. I have seen it done and enjoyed it just the same. C xx

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed watching my process and I appreciate that you took the time to let me know. I always love to receive feedback, as it lets me know which direction I should go in for future videos. A lot of people have said that this was an enjoyable and relaxing video, so I will probably make more in the same style in the future. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

[@BettySlowinski]

Beautiful! You make it look so easy! ❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you! 😊 I had so much fun with this project! Thanks so much for watching and leaving me a comment, I really appreciate it!

[@DottyKupsky]

This was such a calming video. I watched it all the way through and, as always, am impressed with how well you manage the details to make a scrappy happy bag!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and then taking the time to write a comment to me! I'm not sure if you're new to my channel or not, but if you're interested, I have a 5-part bag series of videos called the Freestyle Scrap Tote Bag series. I run through a lot of different ways and methods of making tote bags.

Thank you! 😊 ❤️🧵🪡

[@sewingal17]

Great video! I've made many bags, but never a freestyle. Can't wait to give it a try! I gathered a few tips as well, thank you!!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Glad it was helpful! I always pick up tips and tricks, no matter where I am, or what someone happens to be making. As my mother always says, there’s always more out there to learn. I’m glad you were able to pick up a few things and that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for letting me know and happy, scrappy sewing!

[@bethanyjohnson5598]

Wow! New viewer and now subscriber. I have loads of scraps and am looking forward to using them with the help of your videos. Thank you so much!

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thanks for subbing! I'm glad you joined me!!

[@tamdan27ify]

Beautiful bag ❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@marygeorge9688]

I’m sure your friend loves her bag.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thanks, Mary - she loves it!!!!❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you Mary, she really does! She is blind, so although she can’t see the colors, I’ve explained it to her what it looks like. I quilted it very close so that she could feel all the texture. She gets frequent compliments, so it’s a safe bet she’s pleased, which makes me happy!

[@juliechao3638]

I subscribed and am enjoying the entire replay of this video ❤

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

I’m so happy to hear! You, and others, enjoyed this and it’s a video that I had held onto without releasing for a while because I thought maybe it wouldn’t generate much interest. The opposite has been true, though. I’m happy that s many of my subscribers have found it helpful. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@alicesa6114]

So beautiful. Congratulations. Alice from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Thank you! 😊 hello in Brazil!

[@jandimarco3113]

How inspiring! I have dressmaking cotton scraps, very odd shapes indeed! Now I can see how I can put them to good use.

[@MariesScrappyCreations]

Wonderful! Dressmakers scraps … I bet you have a great variety of colors and prints to choose from! Enjoy!
