Crafty Uses for Fabric Remnants

Hey, hey!

If you're a regular visitor to this blog, you know by now that I have difficulty throwing things away. Even the smallest sliver of scrapbook paper, I'll turn into a greeting card or scraps of ribbon, I'll give new life as cake toppers. The same is true for fabric remnants. I'll find a way to turn them from "blah to TADA!"

Let me show you some items I made using fabric left over from other sewing projects:

I turned the fabric into a cushion cover...TADA!

Here's a tiny back pillow made from the smaller fabric. 

And for the smaller fabric remnants, I made them into pencil pouch...TADA! This was also a good exercise for me on how to attach a zipper.

I like how the zipper added a pop of color.

This is now home for my colored pencils.

Then I turned the smaller pieces of fabric into a pin cushion...TADA!  

Here is another kind of pin cushion but with elastic attached so that it can be worn on the wrist just like what the talented tailors, seamstresses, and fashion designers use...TADA!

I also made an elastic bowl cover...TADA! Because it's made of fabric, it can be washed and used multiple times. 

Maybe these crafts have given you ideas on how you can use up your fabric scraps and turn them from "blah to TADA!"
