Yes!! But, you even out because you put the scraps on the wreath form. I have a feeling I will make lots more of these! So fun!

I think it would be a great idea to make them in color schemes as well…I am plotting one for a guest bath using sea shore colors…I will be sorting scraps…thanks for the instructions and tips as well…it will be a fun project while binge watching something!

I need some kind of plan to deal with my scraps. I watched a bunch of tutorials about how to make the fabric master boards - help me out @Magpie. You made some - what are they called? (Having a senior moment - argh!)
I was sorting by size but I just want to use stuff up so I think I will just start sewing.

Yes - the fabric made from scraps. Thought there was a name like crumb fabric.
Anywho, I want to try this - need to go to fabric store to get the water soluble stuff.
But I avoid going to the fabric store, because you know, that’s where the fabric lives.

You totally got me hooked on making fabric from scraps…I save thread and all of the trimmings…the new fabric is heavy because of the sewing, but it is great for prayer flags, notebook covers, ATCs…

I know @kbrison and @AIMR make some sort of “crumb quilt” thing…
I did a mini art quilt one time with tiny bits of fabric under a piece of tulle. Stitch all over to hold the layers down. It works great and maybe no need to risk the fabric shop?

Crumb quilts are much more labor intensive…I generally group my scraps by color…when I have enough, I take out my rotary cutter and just slice away…I have to be careful that I don’t make too much “dust”…I then throw in all my matching thread scraps…
I do have a few crumb quilt pieces going but it seems like forever before I can get a decent piece…

I LOVE the wreath! The colors are so cheery and the texture just makes me what to put my hands all over it. Well done.

@Lynx this one may be living in your craftroom, but I have a feeling several of your friends will be asking for rope wreaths in future swaps.

I actually started with fabric rope bowls, but they were swap items, so had to be hush hush.
I added little succulents because I used yarn stash…and you can’t kill them!

Oh my goodness! This thread was so much fun to read through! It makes me sad that I haven’t been saving scraps for all of the years that I have been sewing! I have watched a few videos on scrap organizing, and once I get my craft space cleared out, I’ll be tackling what I do have. I went on a scrap buying bender when I was participating in the hexie swaps (I was a bit giddy digging through the scrap bins - fill a baggie for $5!- at local fabric shops). My friends have let me rummage through their scrap bins… now I want to go and organize them!
I have a question… does anyone have suggestions for polyester knit scraps? I have a lot, and I don’t know what to do with them. I could make rope bowls with some of it, but I could definitely use more ideas. I am having a mental block because of the stretch factor…
