Scrap Project Giveaway!


Scrap Projects
Originally uploaded by Sew Spoiled
I recently bought 6 half yards of beautiful fabric from the Meadowsweet Collection, Sandi Henderson, Michael Miller Fabrics from Fresh Squeezed on Etsy. Right away I began to calculate how many projects I could make and what combination would render the most! I cut out two medium size bags and still had enough to make a small buttercup bag, Tic Tac Toe Pincushion and a few appliqué birdies with Heat N Bond lite on the back (Just peel, iron and sew onto any project!) I am still working on the medium size bags but all of my extra scrap projects are part of my Sew Spoiled Giveaway this week!!
This giveaway will run through midnight on January 28, 2010 with the winners being announced on January 29, 2010. The winner will be chosen using Random.org. We will send it priority mail by February 1, 2010! All friends are welcome!
What do you have to do to enter to win??
Just post a comment about what scrap happy projects you like to use with your favorite fabric scraps. You can link in your comment the perfect project if it is available online.
By the Way, the French Cuff Tote epattern is still available at Craft for Hope and all proceeds are going directly to Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.
Best Wishes!
~Leah

I've liked scrap quilts forever. Even before I started quilting! I have my great grandmother's quilts made from clothing scraps and another made into a crazy quilt. They are so cherished! It was so hard to make a "normal" quilt and get scraps when I first started quilitng. I can't complain now, but scrap quilts will always be my preferred pattern

I've only recently gotten into sewing, so I can't say that I've done much with scraps. In fact, I was needing ideas after all my Christmas sewing, so thanks to your other commenters and their ideas! So far, I'd been thinking of making some potholders and a good ol' scrap quilt.

I like to save my large scraps to make my son fun pants and shorts. It's so fun to sew for a toddler, it's quick and easy and doesn't take much fabric.

I found your giveaway through the buttercup bag Flickr pool - lucky me! This is beautiful!! I like to make fabric 'sheets' out of my scraps by stitch and flipping onto a muslin base, then use the sheets as if they are one piece of fabric, like I did here for my fabric bucket: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bluecottage/3388485984/in/set-72157615946237238/
Thanks for this lovely giveaway..fingers crossed!

I love scraps. I make whatever I need. Usually it is a accent on another project, making something small for a cousin for their dolls, things like that. Scraps are very useful.

I like to either applique or to patch the fabric together to do a bigger project like pillows, or sew pincushions. Lila Tueller has a wonderful pincushion pattern. coveredbydesign@hotmail dot com

I like to make the "frenchy" bag by Amy Butler and with the scraps leftover I have been cutting them into 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 squares to make a scrappy quilt at a later time. Most recently I have been collecting 3" squares and random sized scraps to put into "scrap" bags for children.

I love scraps. There are so many things you can do with them. Some of my favourite things to make with scraps are small monster dolls, and cushion covers. Add some buttons and beads and people wouldn't even know they were just scraps. Thanks for the give away, and thanks for the continual inspiration.

Thanks for the great giveaway. I keep all my scraps. I only throw away the inchy small scraps. I use them for applique, making yoyo's or for making strip quilts. I always find some use for my scraps. Lisa

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
