Projects for your Stash!!!































If you are like me, you look at how much fabric you have in your stash and then you try to figure out how much you can make with it. I like to get the most out of my fabric, so I have created a list of my favorite projects and how much fabric they need. Maybe this list will help you too calculate what to make with your fabric stash! This collection has women's clothes, kids clothes, accessories and everything in between. Some of these are free tutorials and some are bought patterns but all of them are great!

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 .

This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5
