10 Projects to Sew from Scraps
by An Kesenne
I use the words “scrap fabric” a lot when writing my blogs. I like to sew accessories and small things for the house and the kids. I don’t throw away fabric pieces easily, or for that matter.. I don’t throw away things easily in general :-). I know you’re thinking “Is she a hoarder?” But… at least I’m an organized hoarder. I do try to fight it and I keep everything as uncluttered as possible.
