She presented me with boxes and boxes full of material. Oh my gosh! I have a whole closet full of containers filled with fabric. (Filled with possibilities!)
The pictures below are things I have made at one time or another. Most of these projects take very little fabric, a Fat Quarter or less.
So start sewing! Remnant fabric pieces can be used for so many projects. And these projects make fabulous gift ideas… Purses, Key Fobs, Cell Phone/Gadget Holder, Tissue Holders, Doll Quilt Blanket, Crayon Roll-up, Valances, Runners, Place Mats, Fabric Coasters, Memo Board, Pillows, just to name a few. The possibilities are endless. It will keep me up at night just thinking about them! ha! Hold on to your fabric. You never know when a piece of fabric will inspire you to get creative!
I don’t sew with a pattern, I wing it as I go. There are tons of free patterns on-line, though. Sew on!
Hip Bag and KeyFob
Tote Purse
Cell Phone/Gadget Pouch

Patchwork Pillow
Doll Blanket and Pillow
Business Card/Mini Wallet
those keyfobs are awesome!
Thanks! They are super easy to make. I use to sell them a few years ago.
These are great ideas to use fabric scrapes that none of us will throw away, no matter how small
Thanks! I keep trying to destash my fabric, but I just can’t do it! Ha! I always say to myself, “this little piece would be great for…”!
Great inspiration
Thank you!
Wow! Too adorable!
Thank you Amy!
I love your ideas. Your fabrics are just great. Wish I could find a stash like that! I did find some patterns for a quarter when they were moving a Joann store a few months ago. Bookmarking your site!
Thank you! I’m a fabric-holic… you should see me closet! ha! Thank you for stopping by!
What beautiful projects and fabrics! I love what you’ve done and thanks for the inspiration. I’m hoping to squeeze in a pillow project, using pillowcase remnants leftover from when I made my daughter’s bedroom valances. It’s so hard to find the time, tho.
Thanks you! It’s even harder to find time to sew or craft in the summer with kids home!
Love what you do!
I appreciate you stopping by! Thank you!
