[@louisea966]

wow, i need more scraps.... i guess that means i need to sew some more. i love your clear and straightforward tutorials and explanations

[@terribradburn6685]

I keep my scraps by color, but whata lovely idea! You are very talented and inspiring! It is apparent that you have lived the life you love.

Well I never knew black birds were called calling birds, your little calling bird looks so sweet. Great idea with the scraps Marion, I’m always wondering what to do with them, good idea for tags to go on presents too. Thank you again for sharing Marion x

[@craftdipper]

I didn't know they were calling birds either - that was nice to learn. Those felt ornaments are beautiful - I have them saved on my etsy favourites. I might treat myself in the new year and try and have them ready for next Christmas if I'm spared. Yours are truly lovely, Marion😍

[@jeanmansfield1138]

Another tip of using up my scraps thanks Marion. I keep them all whatever the size to recycle 😊

[@marionsworld24]

I'd get over run with them if I didn't process them onward...

[@sheilabennett3289]

Marion, I'm saying thank you, again, for all your wonderful videos. I pulled out red and green scraps, and even some Christmas prints that have been around for over 30 years, and whipped up some scrappy ornaments. Added lace and beads, and gifted them to family and friends. The grandkids love them ❤. I still tend to over think what I'm doing, but wanted to thank you for the inspiration. Peace, joy, love, safety, and good health... Sheila in California, USA ❤🎉

Hello Marion... I must say here that you are a true artist. The are absolutely brilliant. I decided to make a few for my little tree. Sharing your talent is a gift to us all. Be safe and take care! Mary Suzanne from British Columbia

[@susanbeattie9333]

I love your way of dealing with the scraps and crumbs of left over fabric to create charming little ornaments, no wonder your garland is so pretty. With all your ideas swimming around in my head my brain feels like a kaleidoscope! The challenge now is to ring in the new year wondering where I’m going to snatch the time for more crafting creations. 😂😄😂😄😂😄❤

[@marionsworld24]

Me too Sue. Me too!

[@kerrigraafmans9993]

Hello Marion, I too didn't realise Blackbirds used to be called Calling birds! I enjoyed watching how your scraps come to life in these Christmas decorations. I keep all scraps large and small and this idea helps to use them for a purpose. Thank you for bringing us such lovely ideas each day prior to Christmas, it has become a " bright spot" each morning here in Aus. ❤

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Kerri. I appreciate your message 💐 I'm pleased you're enjoying my daily videos...

[@RogueAPBT]

Writing from the future, I got inspired by your Advent garland to start making my own. I did crochet a few stars with yarn, but I thought it would be fun for mine to make the stars from a few different materials, like wood, metal scraps, maybe crocheted fabric like a rag rug style, and some scrappy fabric ones. Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I think cutting the blocks to fit their container, while also being a useful size for a variety of uses, is brilliant.

[@maz3002]

I enjoy making fabric from scraps too! I love the ornaments ~ a fun and inspiring project ❤❤❤

[@jenniek4617]

Beautiful Marion ❤ Your calling bird is gorgeous too! Such lovely ideas as ever.

Hi Marion, I love how you’ve stitched the scrap fabric bits to create new fabric.💕🧵🪡🎉🇨🇦

[@helen3756]

Hi Marion, I love the bird peeking out on the star ornament. Fab video ❤

[@marionsworld24]

That was leftover parrot fabric. I made my Mam a quilt from my Dad's ties after he passed away. The parrot fabric was the backing. There's a story about Joey the parrot, but it's far too much to go into!

Very clever idea for ornaments, 😍

[@LeighPogue]

This is an endless idea Marion. Very nice. I love love the quilt too. Beautiful

[@marmalutechaser9411]

Love this! When I was a little girl age 3-9 my Mom gave me her scrap fabric. I was overly protected so I was 9 before I was allowed to sew. I made all sorts of things with the fabric, construction paper, child school scissors, ribbon and Elmers glue, including Christmas ornaments and coffee coasters, now called mug-rugs. Thanks for recharging a memory ❤️

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so happy to have helped bring that memory back for you 💐☺️

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Marion. What an excellent use of scraps. Make them up as squares then use them when you need to. The idea for 6 inch squares seem endless . I love the ornaments and using up left over wadding is a bonus. When you have a small budget it is so nice to see everything being put to use and not just discarded.

[@marionsworld24]

I really try not to waste anything!

[@craftyirina]

Fantastic video! Love your ornaments! The quilt squares are glorious! Love them 🥰

[@christinep9069]

I like your idea of sewing the scraps together to make more material.

[@Krafty_Kaz]

Great idea Marion, I definitely need to make some of this fabric, I have loads of little bits which I just couldn't throw away xxxx

[@marionsworld24]

I love spotting particular design once I've made something out of the new fabric. It's like finding old friends!

[@berniceoconnor5381]

I absolutely love your quilt with the plain and scrap blocks. I will definitely have a go at that. Thank you.

Hello Marion It is vers interesting to ses how you maked your squares with lit le pieces of fabrics. I lire that idea. Thank you very much 👍🥰🙏

[@marjanwolfs6273]

The ornaments are lovely. I like your idea of making blocks and put them in a box untill you have a lot of them. I sew my scraps the way you do, but I use them right away. Making a doll-bed quilt or something small. All your christmas ornaments you put on the advent calendre are made with so much detail. See you tomorrow.

[@marionsworld24]

I was intending to keep them till I had enough for a tablecloth. But I end up using them for something else.... so the tablecloth is taking its time

[@marjanwolfs6273]

That is the "problem"with scraps. Before you have enough blocks, you have to many ideas for something else

[@Angela-en6oh]

Hello Marion. These little hanging decorations are really sweet. I do like the fabric being used. So much better than just getting rid of “scraps”. And each piece becomes a unique, useable, item that will give many years of pleasure - and also a good reminder of what each bit of fabric was originally used for.

A great project for the new year to start using up some scraps turning them into 6” squares Thank you Marion

Thank you Marion. I love the budgie poking it's head out of the star shape one. Random but so unique.

[@michellesocialbutterfly9517]

Love the way you use your scraps to repurpose the fabrics. I love all the variety you have in your scraps. I also have hand stitched the wadding together for my scrap wadding to make bigger pieces of wadding, so I do not have to throw away small pieces or strips of wadding. I think all your birds are wonderful! Happy Holidays to you.

[@raeboyd5596]

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I watched half of it and paused it. I have 3 hat boxes stacked on the dresser at the foot of my bed. I had gotten some more oretty boxes and spent the day dividing colors of fabric. About a year sgo , I had bought on fb market place someones mothers quilt scraps, so alot of single squares and alot of strips i just thought no good for anything but yo yos. They were all in baggies by size and color in thise 3 boxes. But when you said you divide scraps between nice pieces, strips and small and tiny pieces in a bag. you started me a mission of dividing my scrap fabric between 3 hat boxes in the 3 sizes you do, and its now 4 hours later! Lol. But so incredibly satifying. Because since i took up slow stitching it hadnt occured to me to do what youve done making those squares and its a marvelous idea! If i had already had a box of squares id have made my dil a table runner, a Bible cover and a Kindle case for my daughter and for mine! Ive now got days of productive sewing ahead! I am just so thankful for this idea! I enjoy all of your videos, you are so talented, so sweet, you have such a beautiful garden and home and we are so blessed that you share it all with us!

[@poodlegirl55]

Great idea to make squares Marion. I recently found a bag of very interesting fabric scraps at the thrift store. I couldn't think of anything I wanted to make out of them but wanted to play. So I sewed them all together into a half yard of fabric, added batting and quilted it and put it away with my bigger pieces of fabric.

[@marionsworld24]

It's good if you want to quickly make something. You can sew as many together as you need. The hard work of patching is done already ☺️

[@oermama]

Pretty calling bird, the advent garland is filling up nicely. Last year I tried to make blocks from scraps the way you just shown, but as I use a lot of bright colors they became very intense. But your way of cutting them into squares and mixing them with solid’ish fabric just might work. Love the little scrappy embellished ornaments you made.

[@marionsworld24]

By making it all into squares you can then mix and match them up when you come to use them. It keeps the scraps in some sort of order. Of course you still have to make something with them.... but it seems easier when you have an actual piece of fabric instead of a bundle of bits.

Hello lovely lady! 🎉

[@donnacarraway9182]

Thank you Marion! I keep meaning to ask you how you store and sort your thrifted fabric? Do you take the clothes apart? I have started thrifting to build up a stash of varied fabrics. I am taking the clothes apart and storing the odd pieces in a clear bag together because they are the unruly parts. Then I fold the other pieces and store them by fabric type. I just thought that you might have a better way and I was wondering what you consider small enough to put in a container for small pieces and if you discard the unruly pieces? Thank you so very much! I value your expertise! 💕Donna

[@marionsworld24]

Hmm.. mostly I just keep things as they are because I don't know what they'll be used for. Maybe I'd need the hems or the seams... So I just have things folded up amongst the other fabric. Once I've cut into something though I quite often clean it all into pieces. It just depends..
