Look What They Made: Ideas for Fabric Scrap Projects

If you sew or quilt, you may have accumulated a bag or two of fabric scraps. Even if you don’t, we also keep scraps that we have generated in the workshop; from ends of roll, slight imperfections or project scraps.

Apart from the fact that this reduces waste, they can also come in very handy if you have small projects that don’t rely on large pieces of fabric. It also means, you can have a wide variety of colours and patterns to play with. Here are a few ideas for fabric scrap projects;

• Fabric covered buttons
• Zip pouches
• Key holders
• Bookmarks
• patchwork totes
• patchwork cushions
• hair scrunchies
• coin pouches
• bank card holder
• bunting
• jewellery

Our African Fabric Scrap bags have proved to be extremely popular. We offer packs of 5, 10, 20,  50 or even 100 vibrant fabric scraps all made with 100% cotton. You have also shared some of your projects using our scrap bags and these have been very inspiring! Thank you
