So I've been trying to clean out the garage, again! The question is always, "how small is a scrap of fabric TOO small to use?" I do have a few ideas of what to do with some of my scraps; tote bags, pincushions, pencil cases, tissue holders, draw string fish bags, and quilt squares (if I ever get around to quilting that is). But these still use a sizable amount of fabric. Of course, the question plagues me the rest of the day. Then off I go to the trusty (insert sarcasm here) Internet! My results are inconclusive.
Basically nothing is too small. Look at postage stamp quilts. And the basic premise of quilting is to use remnant fabric scraps. Which is why the idea of quilting, even though I've never quilted, is so alluring to me. So now I'm back to square one. Having to trust my gut instincts may just leave me with my garage fuller than before. It's a fine line between pack rat and hoarder. Sometimes, I don't know which side of the line I'm standing on.
On a brighter note, all my research gave me a two projects I'd definitely like to utilize with my scarp fabrics.
Fabric Curlers by Life with Monkey - These fabric curlers are soft and great to sleep in. At least it looks like a better alternative than those plastic pink ones everyone usually uses. I'm definitely excited to try this one out.
Jewelry Wrap by AgricanKelli - This is a traveling jewelry holder for the women on the go. I was just thinking I needed something like this since I've been traveling a little more this year. I was having problems with all my necklaces tangling up.
There were a lot of other good ideas, but they were either things that were similar to ideas I've already come up with or they didn't tickle my fancy.
