There’s always time for more fabric scrap inspiration!
I’m constantly watching for fun new ideas for fabric scraps and saving them up for future projects. I seem to have an endless supply of scraps and I don’t even sew that much! Wasting even the tiniest bit of colorful designer fabric would be a tragedy!
Check out these adorable garden markers from Design Sponge. Mark where you plant your seeds or bulbs…super cute!
Paul & Paula have shared this amazing fabric scrap mobile…WOW! I wish I had the patience to create something this fabulous!
You’ll find a sweet hanger makeover on Free People. This is so much better than the yucky metal hangers I have my poor clothes hanging on!
Lovely love rocks make great conversation starters. Red Bird Craft shares this rockin’ {couldn’t help myself} tutorial on her blog.
Alright, anyone that knows me knows that this has to be my favorite fabric scrap creation of all time…a fabric scrap map from See Kate Sew! I could stare at maps all day and when you add fabric…it’s just awesome!
What have you created with your fabric scraps??? Do tell!!

Lovely ideas! I have the same issue but with paper scraps. I have a whole drawer of them and have a plan to somehow incoprate them into my store packaging. I’m sure you can do the same with fabric scraps:)
What great ideas! Thanks for sharing. Those garden markers can be used for lots of things.
Oh I love this! And the timing is perfect. I’ve been on a scrap hunt lately. I’m dying to try out some crazy quilt techniques but using them in a different format (instead of a quilt, make inchies or wall hangings).
Now, I couldn’t sew a stitch if I my life depended on it – but I really appreciated all of these idea. That hanger was too cute and I’m CASE-ing the rock idea for something!! {don’t know quite what yet}. Thanks for sharing. Always love your posts.
O’m with Jennifer in that I have “obscene” amounts of paper scraps.
Love, love, love that map. What a great idea.
PS. English really is my first language. I wish there was spell check on these posts. Sorry.
Beautiful! I love the map that is my absolute favorite.
My one and only fabric scrap trick is to make rosettes with them. I love them, but the process burns my fingers!
What a great collection of projects!! I love using up scraps of favorite fabrics. I have a collection of scrap-buster projects here: http://www.adventuresindressmaking.com/search/label/scraps
Love these ideas and the simple flag project my kids would love.
Hi Kim,Love your post! Have a collection of scraps left over from a global fabric swap. These ideas have given me some inspiration to do some fabric maps! Thanks! Follow you on Twitter as @F5th and hope that you will please follow me back!
Have a great day today!

Thanks so much, Kim. xo e
Sweet finds! I particularly like the mobile.
Love the ideas! The map is so cool! So are the hanger and the mobile!
Great ideas! I’ve started saving neat fabric finds too and I don’t sew much either!

Here’s a reuse idea I currently have in my Etsy store. These are so adorable.
Hey Kim,
I love saving up my scraps and then sewing them all together to create one large sheet of fabric. Then use that as the basis for a cool apron or tote bag/zipper bag.
Waste not want not!

Great ideas! I’m always swimming in scraps. I love the hanger!
I’ve been working on a bunting out of scraps for my sewing room. It’s soon to be a nursery (bittersweet!) so making something for free is a nice way to add some color on the walls. 🙂
Love this post. I can’t even sew and I want to make these things! :o)
