Scraps, selvedges and stuffing...

Do you use your scraps? Do you toss them away? They were once used as stuffing for softies (so were old pantyhose). We now buy soft fill/hobby-fill instead. I use what I can, and pass on other bits to a friend, or the pre-school for pasting and collage.



Jodie made a selvedge quilt some time ago, and I have been collecting mine to do same since. I Love it! Jodie just made another which she turned into a bag, which is amazing and very original. Have a look here.


Another great use for those scraps!

I love that quilt. It is so cute. It makes me want to shrink down to doll size and curl up under it.

what a great idea! When I start sewing in earnest, I will remember this as a great thing to do.
