Quick & Easy Scrap Fabric Projects 🧵 Sew With Me

[@arionrhod6383]

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout/This is my handle, this is my spout" is an old American nursery rhyme. :D Though tea coming out part is utterly adorable. :D

[@aliiannucci3135]

I came here to say this! It's a tradition in my family that whenever someone receives a teapot as a gift, the recipient has to perform the song before they accept the gift, so I know the song VERY well

[@Woeschhuesli]

not only American...!

[@nicolemulready6329]

When I get all steamed up, hear me shout! Tip me over and pour me out!!

[@jexae]

you could also stuff the pincushion with tiny scraps that you shredded...

[@junimondig]

Yes! Even less waste owo

[@Celebrinthal]

I suppose it's easier to stick pins into batting than a tight bundle of fabric scraps. Can't speak from experience though, I haven't made a pin cushion yet.

[@arielholmes8700]

I did that to make a bustle pad last week, and oh myyy goshhh it was so many little tiny scrap strings i had to cut that the scissors rubbed my skin raw and gave me a blister, which got torn open and left a little patch of open skin. that was very painful lol

[@Celebrinthal]

@@arielholmes8700 Ugh! I can imagine, my hand always hurts from cutting fabric... that's why I bought a rotary cutter, but guess what - they forgot to pack the cutting mat, so I'm still waiting to have that shipped and can't use the cutter 😒

[@hibiscus10moon]

@@arielholmes8700 i’ve made paper from cotton scraps and we put a razor blade in a vise to efficiently chop it up. that always put a little fear in my heart but was way easier on the hands!

[@rosetta2039]

I love these ideas, could you maybe make more of these videos in the future?

[@CookieScrat]

Scrap fabric can also be used as stuffing! I do a lot of crochet plushies so I often stuff them with a combination of regular suffing and scrap fabric, the tiniest scraps you can do nothing with x) Could be used also for small projects like the wrist pin-cushion!

[@patspadd8243]

Hello Lucy and that’s the best sewing video I’ve seen as you do some good sewing videos as you’re very clever in what you do and make it enjoyable to follow as one can learn from your skills and I’m lucky that I have a decent level of needle work skills as I’ve done bits of sewing during my years though to be honest I’ve never used a sewing machine and I’d like to invest in a small sewing machine so I can do more sewing work and love how you recycle leftover fabrics and put them to good use as me being a carpenter and joiner when at work or doing stuff at home I like to keep the off cuts and rippings and shavings sawdust etc and use them as timber/lumber/wood is a very valuable natural resource so that’s it for now only I always look forward to watching your teatime videos as I’m an avid tea drinker and you make me cheerful and relaxed when you so your teatime videos so until the next time take care stay safe and cheerio

[@P0nyl0ve]

Wow that's a long sentence:)

[@mirjanbouma]

Nothing better than a Loepsie video to cheer me up. Great timing! Edit: an finally a good tutorial for a headband without a knot in it. Sorry, I've tried to find one in the past and could not, for the life of me, find one that was like this.

[@Urukins]

Unexpected upload! The headband is absolutely gorgeous I might try to do it, I hope you are feeling better and a bit more cheerful!

[@HeyItsBonnieBee]

So excited to try and make a mask to go with the dress I shortened recently!

[@MiffoKarin]

For the wrist pin cushion I suggest putting a bit of cardboard (or whatever material you prefer) in the bottom, so that if you bump your wrist against something, there's a harder layer that's stopping the pins from going through and stabbing you. I learned this the hard way.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I also learned this the hard way.

[@Bittern-Bonnet]

Same here! I used a scrap of balsa wood last time I made one

[@cherrylee1103]

love that cozy. i used scraps the create pattern weights. i purchased flat netal washers in various sizes, made patterns for each size by laying the washer on paper, then drawing a circle twice the size of the washer, used button thread to stitch close to the edge of the fabric, laid the washer inside and drew the fabric around by tightly pulling the free ends of the thread. i then tied four knots. voila! pattern weights.

[@P0nyl0ve]

The scrap pile? Don't you mean the * cabbage patch *?

[@ItsThatJo]

I've been watching your videos for years so I've been following your sewing progress from the very beginning and I must say that it is a joy to see you so dedicated to this craft! I must say, however, that I've noticed a slight change in your editing style and I'm really enjoying it as well. I especially appreciated that little Rachel-Maksy-esque zoom as you said scraps haha. Congratulations on your progress, Lucy!

[@hazeleyeartist]

I LOVE the tea cozy idea!!!! So adorable!!!!

[@angelikaoreshko1945]

I like collecting my scraps, and someday i hope to sew a whole scrap skirt! But these are some great ideas and i will definitely try some of them out))

[@emilysmith2784]

I just snapped my last bobble (hair tie) yesterday and was thinking of being sustainable and using my leftover elastic and fabric scraps to make scrunchies. Thanks for the measurements 👍

[@isabellapattinson1437]

You look gorgeous in this video and your hair looks amazing. I love the colour of your hair and I wish I had it as well however I am stuck with my much darker almost black strands. Without even watching, I know it's a great video.

[@sakshithakur4437]

You are a really very creative person 😍😍😍

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Ah, the ever growing cabbage patch! Mine started out as one drawer, now it’s two and a half. I really do need to do some cabbage busters. I also need to sort my cabbage, I think- larger scraps I could conceivably do something with, and tiny scraps that are only good for cutting up further and stuffing things with. But there are so many other pretty things to make that it just gets pushed down my list, further and further. I have made a heap of masks this year though, but they’re not as useful right now in Australia, given the lack of covid here. Which is nice, but it means less cabbage busting projects. I think I might make a few scrunches for my daughter though.

Wow! Thank u so much! I luv ur vids! I have a whole dresser full of scraps! No joke! 😝 so this should be helpful!

[@aurorapapillon4883]

I have some pants that are worn out in places. So I've been finding ways to use the fabric that sections that aren't worn out and I mostly have been doing fichus/kerchiefs, and square hair scarves, although I'm thinking of making a tie on pocket and bustle pads! I'm a beginner sewer so using old clothes as cabbage is great for me because it's free and I feel no pressure to be perfect.

[@jennifergrove2368]

I *love* this. Originally I was thinking of making face masks for people in my extended family as Christmas gifts but then I realized I wouldn't be seeing them as they all live in Canada and our US borders are still closed. (And it's astronomically expensive to send mail over there.) But I suppose it would be difficult to make sure something like that would fit everyone properly. :\ Also, that tea cozy is sooooooo cute!! I have a sewing machine in storage but a) It's freaking heavy, and b) I'm so intimidated by how to load it and work it. Oh, and the names for the teapot pieces are a handle and spout

[@strawberryemery]

I have a ring pincushion that I made, and put a giant button on the inside, on the side closest to my skin, to prevent the needles from going all the way through and poking me.

[@junimondig]

Your last sewing video made me think that you gotta have a lot of leftover fabric by now and that you should do a video like this and look at what you've uploaded haha

[@TalynG]

If anyone is still looking for a good fitted mask pattern, the Dhurata Davies contoured mask is great. It’s free and has different sizes.

[@juliapalos2077]

My first attempt to sew a mask, didn't go exactly as well as I thought...🤣🤣

[@macnugbur2181]

To anyone who made the mask, does the fabric one actually work??

[@juliapalos2077]

Have you considered sewing your own underwear? Panties or pants, whatever you called it. There are some tutorials you can folllow or just use one of those you already own, as a model. I hate the decorative elastics fast fasion puts right on the thigh area, so it sometimes hurts when going for a long walk. So I am really thinking about sewing my own underwear without those. And a lot of scrap made of good quality cotton sounds just perfect for that.

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

I’m thinking about learning how to make bras myself. At my size, there is a significant amount of engineering involved, but I think the rewards are worth it.

[@juliapalos2077]

@@marthahawkinson-michau9611 Wow . It has to be really complicated, but go ahead! I don't like fast fashion, it treats us like we had the same body, and of course we don't. I suggest wide and cushion-like straps if you have trouble with the weight on the chest area.

[@marthahawkinson-michau9611]

@@juliapalos2077 I’ve been comparing regency short stays with modern longline bras. They actually have quite a bit in common. I’m thinking a fusion between the two designs might just give me the support I’m looking for, as the compression on the ribcage is what gives the best support. I passionately hate it when my bra straps are digging in, or just carrying too much weight. Presently I wear a light compression sports bra OVER my regular bra just to keep the weight off my shoulders.

[@juliapalos2077]

@@marthahawkinson-michau9611 That's really interesting. And for sure it sounds like a full enginereeing process.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

@@marthahawkinson-michau9611 I think the only real difference in shape between Regency stays and longline bras is that modern bras tend to lift and squoosh together, whereas Regency stays lift and separate. Not an issue for me- even the squooshiest bra can’t get my girls together, so I find Regency stays more comfortable. But ladies who have breasts that are very close together, or even connected, might find something uncupped, like earlier stays or a corset to be more comfortable. Not everyone can fit a one or two inch busk between the girls. And a friend of mine can’t even wear modern underwire bras, because her breast tissue is connected in the middle, and that little wired centre gives her bruises. So she tends to go for bralettes and sports bras.

Not every type of fabric is suited for mask making. Wool and fleece are LESS effective than NOT wearing a mask. The way they shed water particles actually makes it worse for you. Do your research everyone.

That's why I recommend at least one layer is made of cotton!
