I call it scrap sewing

.

We have all done our sewing from stash, this is sewing from scraps. You know, those pieces to small to use but to big to throw away.  I was putting them in a tub in a space I call a closet a pretty big space under the stairs.  The day came when I just had to get in there and clean.

Since I sew for grands that range in age from 3 to 10, there were pieces for everyone. This is just the start, it might encourage you to use those scraps.  Well, if you make quilts you already have a plain for everything.

These shorts are for Zoe and Chloe, plus headbands and corker bows.

The next project I am doing I call making notions.  The scraps to small for much of anything I am cutting into strips and using my serger to gather/ruffle them. Then, when a project could use a ruffle, I can go to my ruffle box and see if I have something already made that will work.

These shorts are for Seth, sewn from Kwik-Sew pattern 2604.  I will be making many more of these.
