Love that you show a real working studio space not the “ decorative version of a sewing space “. In order to work on many projects at one time my fabrics need to be organized and even placed into project boxes with labels and instructions for the remaining steps. That way I can be super productive with my work time. You are so inspiring!
Wow! You're my kinda women! I learned more from you about what to do with small quilt scraps than from anyone else online. It hurts my stomach to throw fabric away. You nailed it. Loved it.
I love that you organize, press and neaten your fabric! I seriously cannot watch a quilter work with stringy, wrinkled fabric. You are a good teacher and I've learned a lot from you. I'm 75 and a quilter for 50 some years. Thank you Tiffany!
Thank you so much for such detailed explanation. Now I will have to watch a few more times so it will sink in to my brain. But it will be well worth it!
Glad to know there are some diehard scrapaholics like me out there! I save 2,3,4,5,6,8,10”squares plus 2 1/2-5 1/2”squares, 1 1/2”,2,2 1/2”, 5”strips. During Covid (2020) I made 6 scrap lap quilts from my collection and did not make a dent in it😂!
Tiffany, This video has really spoke to me. I teach a free quilting class & provide all the supplies & sewing machines. So saying that, I am thrilled to receive any scraps from anyone. I have struggled to have a good dependable scrap organization process. You have honestly inspired me with a process that I can actually do from go, with out stopping due to a scrap that doesn’t fit my cutting process. This is going to be my new absolute process! Thank you so much for touching on and showing the difference the ironing makes. Saving space is a real need in my class room! You are an amazing lady. Thank you from Oklahoma!
OMG I am speechless ! I really liked this video ! It's for my soul 🤗 and I'll show it to my husband too. He always says I have some special kind of "illness" !😅
OMG that is so funny and when it comes to fabric i just cant stop i got so much so i did not want to hear any complains so i got rid of the husband 🤣🤣🤣
New to quilting, and love to see the scraps and pieces put to use. If only I had people send me scraps like that! Thanks for sharing your process of organizing. I love your channel...you are an inspiration to new quilters like me!
Tiffany, thank you for being you, and taking the time and trouble to help all of us that are somewhat new beginner in sewing etc this surely helps me eminently. I’m starting to do some of this cutting down 2-2 1/2 inch squares, 5” squares, 10” squares, but..not cutting up all of it. Your collection likes good, I’ve only been sewing for little over 2 years now but…not as often as everyone else on U-tube. Im learning still, but….need to get busy, but Im disabled so I can only do so much in a day, my health issues keep me feeling uncomfortable every single day. But..I continue to do my best. Enjoy your week.
You do what you can when you can 😊 That's all I do. Sometimes I come in here for 20 minutes just to iron. Sometimes 30 minutes just to cut. I just do what I can when my body says it's ok. So take your time and enjoy the process
@@TiffanysQuiltingLife thank you. Great suggestions, been cutting just today. Maybe sewing some of my quilt 9 patches this evening, I'll see how the rest of the day goes. Ty.
Never seen anyone keeping their fabrics as organized as yours, and who values every inch of them as much as you do. You are on my list of heirs to inherit some of my fabrics if I go first. Wish you health ❤️
Thank you for the info-I actually started on my scrap busting yesterday. Wasn’t sure what how to start. But now-you’ve given me the push I needed! Iron’s on!!!
Thank you! I’ve been quilting since 2014 and recently cleaned up my quilt room… my fabric & scraps are diverse! I love what you’ve done and can see myself doing (& feeling great about) what you have shown. Thank you for giving me a process as well as a picture of what it looks like once my fabric & scraps are processed (with very little waste!) Thank you!
I’m inspired to iron and organize my scraps in January! It can be very relaxing to sit (or stand) and iron. I don’t keep as many sizes as you, but I do love to use my stash as much as possible. Thanks!
Wow, wow, wow!! You are amazing! I cut only 10", 5", and 2.5" squares. Strips - 2.5", 2", and. 1.5". Then fat quarters, then full width up to 1 yard, and then yardage. I have fabric pieces big enough to be backings. Then leftover or pre-cut binding. I store fabrics I bought together (or are collecting) for a project in separate project bins. Then I have kits (please don't ask a lot of questions about this). Then purchased, complete layer cakes, charm packs, jelly rolls. Partial pre-cuts are mixed in with the sizes cut above. Then I have a string bin - 1" to less than 2.5", any length greater than 5". Then the crumb bin - bigger than 1". Then the trash bin. lol. There is also the bin of fabrics to send to Tiffany. What goes in here? Fabrics that have already been used in 2 or more quilts, fabrics for projects I will never make, things I think you will like, other interesting stuff.
My late mom was a very talented seamstress and quilter. She passed away almost 10 years ago. She had a closet full of fabric and scraps. I filled up half my attic LOL. I am learning how to quilt small projects finally. I've been crocheting for 18 years. I have cut up some of the fabric into strips and made fabric yarn. Makes great crochet rugs. All of the very small pieces not sewing worthy are great for stuffing crochet projects such as amigurini, pillows, etc. I have mixed them with fiberfill. I am now tackling organizing the rest of her stash. Organizing yarn scraps is another beast lol..... Thank you for sharing all of your tips!❤
@TiffanysQuiltingLife thank you! Going to start making small quilt projects. I forgot to mention I have seven of her quilts. We found over 30 of them in her closet that we had never seen before. All of them were hand-quilted except for two. Mostly all are king size quilts. I'm now getting her last one finished.
When i was going through my closet because i didnt have any more room... i found 5 boxes and containers full of remnants from my past projects... lots of great fabrics... i will definately organize using your system.. thank you!
OMG 😲 😱 You are so organized. You have said before you have OCD, but I didn't think it was this extreme. You are a Quilting Fabric Goddess!!! Just WOW!
Do you think you'll ever use or even find any pieces you really want in a particular quilt or does it matter? I realize u like scrappy quilts but saving all these scraps makes me dizzy lol. I have one big box of my favorites only. All in different sizes but nothing smaller than 2 1/2". Just don't have the room to store. I am the opposite of you in this. I am a nutty gotta know what is where so I can grab and sew. Do you go through these boxes and piles to get what you want I guess is what I want to know. Second do u want ppl to send you such small scraps or would you rather get larger pieces? Happy sewing☺️
@@pattiecoxey I go through when I am looking for something specific. Most tomes it's grab and sew. When it comes to people sending fabric I like when they send big pieces cause gives me more to work with. But I've never minded what they send. I use it all eventually. When I buy fabric I buy 2 yards instead of 1 and or 2 jelly rolls or whatever. Just incase so I always have more to work with. But I make lots of scrappy quilts. I enjoy the process. I like to organize and I am slowly getting things more organized then I currently am 😄
@@TiffanysQuiltingLife thanks Tiffany. I am a curious gal when it comes to what others do and how. It gives me ideas and different ways of looking at things. I appreciate you answering all my nosey questions lol. Have a good night. 🌜😊
This is what I am doing at the moment. I am sorting my fabric. I have a bedroom full of quilting supplies and have a lot of containers of fabric. I just started a quilt using scraps and have already got 3 10 inch blocks made. I have always love watch you quilting. Have a blessed week.
@@TiffanysQuiltingLife Busy can be good…and you’re doing a great job creating videos for so many of us! I look forward to a video using scraps … when you can create one.
😲 l hope Scott helps you a little. Believe me l put my scraps in zip lock bags write project they are from. Maybe l will start to change thank you for explaining all of this.😍
I don’t have a sewing budget, so I deconstruct clothing etc that I get by the pound at thrift. I typically make small projects, bags and such, but have been playing with quilting more lately and wanted to get more serious about it. This video has been very helpful for me. Subscribed!
In medieval times, fabric was very expensive, and well cut, just like you are doing. The small bits left were called 'cabbage'. You do an excellent job at getting the most usable bits and have only small bits of cabbage left. Thank you for sharing this video.
Great timing Tiff. Last night I was dealing with scraps and finally threw my hands up and quit. I realized my issue is I don’t have enough bins. And you just confirmed that for me. I also realized I don’t deal with pre-cuts so I have no idea what I use the most of. So its something that I need to pay more attention to in the future. Thank you also for going as small as 1 inch. Most of the scrap management videos out there, they throw stuff away that’s useable, it makes me cringe and cry a little. I hate waste. Thank you for sharing you with us. 💖
I don't like waste 😒 and I love to make mini projects so it's great to have the tiny pieces. I need a bunch more cut up so I can many my next mini project. I hope you figure out the size you use most often and can cut scraps to that and then enough pieces together can make a great scrappy quilt 😊
This is a great vid. I originally watched it some time ago. As I’m dealing with gazads of scraps, thought I’d watch it again. Ya know, for inspiration. ❤. Its been hard to make progress as I know these things propagate when I’m not looking!
Great to see your system of scraps very similar to mine. I hv mine in bags and tins . Triangles in bags smaller cuts like 1 and 1½in to 5 in all goes in separate tins according to their sizes. I usually iron and starch my material anyway before cutting them so these scraps are already nice and crisp and i also have strips of 1½ to 5 in as well in tins. My tin on of them are now starting to over burst!!! Looks like i might need a new outlet or move the strips to another place temporarily whilst using up the squares.
I really enjoyed this video,,this is something that really helped me,,I do my scraps this way too ,,just not the little tiny ones ,,I use those for scrap borders mostly, sew them together and add them on to my quilts to make them bigger,just all colors piano key style borders,,well it works for me anyways ,,thanks i could have just kept watching,,its a job to find enough space for them all ,,i know ,,May God bless you ,,Tiffany and family.
Awesome video. Because you use so many sizes you are able to cut down I tried all your the different squares but have found for now 10,5 squares then I did strips same sizes but also 2.5 and 1.5 , and 1 then the strips that are smaller Is crumb pile. My storage is minimal but love how you are doing it. If the left over is around 1 inch it also goes into my crumb sack. I really enjoyed seeing how you use the irregular scrappy pieces.
Awesome video! Thank you. You’re very clear in your explanations and I appreciate a focused how to video without a bunch of off track dialog. I hope you’ve been able to use some of those beautifully prepared scraps in a quilt or two. I could see you were kind of reprimanding yourself to “get something made”.😂
Similar to what I do except I have a lot less fabric remnants than you do. Lately I’ve been using lots of scraps for a quilt as you strip quilt. Just finished.
Wow!!!! That is a lot of scrap cutting. I only cut five inch and two and a half inch squares. Yardage goes on comic boards. Half yards, fat quarters and fat eighths go in drawers and storage containers. The amount of fabric I have sometimes overwhelms me. I commend you on all the organization you maintain.
I’ve followed a lot of quilters on UTUBE. She is the most genuine yet! All the other ones are pretentious and and they have the money to buy what they want and ALWAYS say the quilt is easy. And then they whip up a quilt in no time.
I just love your videos I learn sooooo much but you wear me out lol 😅 I never knew you could do so much with scraps!!! My husband also makes quilts so he is remodeling an old drafting table for our cuttings. He is also making elongated sewing desks for each of us. But I have been reorganizing the two closets materials books patterns quilting magazines notions ironing stuff but it was the scraps that had me baffled!! So thank you thank you!!! You are so fun to watch I am loving to see again. Kathy & Charlie re-tired.😄
I have started to cut up all of the FQs I have collected (or hoarded?) into 2.5, 3, 4, 5 & 10 inch squares and strips, as those are the sizes that I tend to use most. I have found that by cutting the FQs down into smaller sizes makes it easier to use!
Do you make home visits 😉? Your system is amazing. I’m downloading this video for easy access. I’ll be referring to it often. Thanks so much for the time, effort and expertise you’ve shared with us!
😂 I do the same, I will throw anything away that is less than 1". I have my bins of orphan blocks, 2 1/2" strips, strings, hst's, 1", 1 1/2" 2", 2 1/2" and 3" squares. I always refold my fabric and they go back on the shelf. I have decided this year to start cutting my smaller pieces into squares, strings or stripes. If I have a tiny corner missing, 1/8" I will still cut it as a square. That part will be in the seam, so why worry? Right? 😂
I’m working on my scraps. Using 10”papers and sewing strips diagonally onto the papers. Then I trim off the fabric that hangs over and make 10” squares. I may use the squares for a bedspread for our king-sized bed.
I’m exhausted watching you, girl! Your energy level is impressive. I’ll apply part of your strategies to my tons (literally!) of scraps. Might just keep some of bigger ones and send anything- other than string-strings - smaller than 2.5 off to a new home. I’m finally to a place where drawing a line has become mandatory. Great vid. Very helpful. Thank you, Tiffany. ❤
The scrap buckets: you put it in a pillowcase to make a dog bed in shelter. Very confort. Or ina "bubble quilt " to make a mattress! Right now, I am making a kid mattress with scrap like your to put inside.
I use to do that, but now our local shelter does not take fabric beds cause the dogs tear them up and then eat the fabric and sad things happen from there. So they don't accept them no more. I have a guy a city over that takes it all for pillow case beds at his rescue center.
Love that you show a real working studio space not the “ decorative version of a sewing space “.

Thank you so much for such detailed explanation. Now I will have to watch a few more times so it will sink in to my brain. But it will be well worth it!
Can I just send you my scraps to organize and send back? K, thanks.
Same..lol
Perfect!
Sounds Ike a plan
I wish I had more room but you gave me some great ideas!
@Sew Becca we just need a visit!
A lot of info here Tiffany. I'll have to watch it a few times to grasp it all. Very helpful. Thanks
I’m so glad to see you iron.I’ve seen people put together two pieces of fabric that’s not ironed! Thy sew them together!
Wow - I might add ironing to my process after seeing how much you fit into your bins. Great video - thanks for sharing your scrap process!
That's a good point to iron.
I fit way more having them pressed. But it does require the time to press and put away. I tend to do it at night when I can't sleep.
I love scraps❤ scraps make me happy❤
You are fabulous! Wish I was that organized! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Awesome video! You are a treasure for the quilting community!
Thank you 😊

Awesome video! Thank you. You’re very clear in your explanations and I appreciate a focused how to video without a bunch of off track dialog. I hope you’ve been able to use some of those beautifully prepared scraps in a quilt or two. I could see you were kind of reprimanding yourself to “get something made”.😂
Ya I use scraps and make more neat scraps as I go 😄 🤣 😂
Similar to what I do except I have a lot less fabric remnants than you do. Lately I’ve been using lots of scraps for a quilt as you strip quilt. Just finished.
Wow!!!! That is a lot of scrap cutting. I only cut five inch and two and a half inch squares. Yardage goes on comic boards. Half yards, fat quarters and fat eighths go in drawers and storage containers. The amount of fabric I have sometimes overwhelms me. I commend you on all the organization you maintain.
Thank you 😊
Oh my goodness...sew organized.
I need to train my brain to do this. I am sew disorganized.
Pressing is my first thing to do. Thank you.
I’ve followed a lot of quilters on UTUBE. She is the most genuine yet! All the other ones are pretentious and and they have the money to buy what they want and ALWAYS say the quilt is easy. And then they whip up a quilt in no time.
Lots of people would want those "I don't need it " scrap buckets! The slow stitch community would go nuts over those!
Well that is some impressive organization!! I just have two bins. Small and large scraps 🙃. Good info in here!
Thanks 😊
Thanks Tiff for sharing
I just love your videos I learn sooooo much but you wear me out lol 😅 I never knew you could do so much with scraps!!! My husband also makes quilts so he is remodeling an old drafting table for our cuttings. He is also making elongated sewing desks for each of us. But I have been reorganizing the two closets materials books patterns quilting magazines notions ironing stuff but it was the scraps that had me baffled!! So thank you thank you!!! You are so fun to watch I am loving to see again. Kathy & Charlie re-tired.😄
Sew not see
Yes I do many things with scraps 😊
Love this video … very helpful to me… Thank You! Bless you! Wish you all the best!
thank you good idea.i have a fleece fabric scarp.they need bends to put them in.i sewing fleece quilt Blankets. 10" to. 5" 2 1/2"
Great video gave me some great Ideas for my scraps thank you
I have started to cut up all of the FQs I have collected (or hoarded?) into 2.5, 3, 4, 5 & 10 inch squares and strips, as those are the sizes that I tend to use most. I have found that by cutting the FQs down into smaller sizes makes it easier to use!
Yup it does make them easy to use 😊
I love your system. We should all be so organized!! 😂
Do you make home visits 😉? Your system is amazing. I’m downloading this video for easy access. I’ll be referring to it often. Thanks so much for the time, effort and expertise you’ve shared with us!
Thanks 😊
I wish I could make house visits 😊 Thank you for watching 😉
😂 I do the same, I will throw anything away that is less than 1". I have my bins of orphan blocks, 2 1/2" strips, strings, hst's, 1", 1 1/2" 2", 2 1/2" and 3" squares. I always refold my fabric and they go back on the shelf. I have decided this year to start cutting my smaller pieces into squares, strings or stripes. If I have a tiny corner missing, 1/8" I will still cut it as a square. That part will be in the seam, so why worry? Right? 😂
Exactly 💯% 😊
Awesome scrap tutorial! Thank you!!!
What a wonderful video. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
The light square on your mat just inside the 1st outer dark square, is 10" I'm pretty sure. To use for measuring quickly 👍💙
You do an excellent job of keeping the waste down to minimal amounts. 😊 you should be proud of yourself. What do you do with the 1” pieces??
I make tiny quilts with the tiny pieces
I’m working on my scraps. Using 10”papers and sewing strips diagonally onto the papers. Then I trim off the fabric that hangs over and make 10” squares. I may use the squares for a bedspread for our king-sized bed.
I've done that 😊
You are amazing! What a great video! Such a strategic approach but efficiently simple on top of that!
Thank you 😊
Great video thanks! I have some scraps to work on and a plan😊👍🇨🇦
Loved this a bunch !!
Great video you answered all the questions in my head🎉
Thank you for this video it will be very helpful
I’m feeling SO much better about my scraps. Thought I was getting overrun but I have a way to go!
Omg! I am so excited to copy these ideas. I have tons of scraps! Thank you 😊
I’m exhausted watching you, girl! Your energy level is impressive. I’ll apply part of your strategies to my tons (literally!) of scraps. Might just keep some of bigger ones and send anything- other than string-strings - smaller than 2.5 off to a new home. I’m finally to a place where drawing a line has become mandatory. Great vid. Very helpful. Thank you, Tiffany. ❤
Thank you 😊
The garbage pile I would use for stuffing eg teddy ❤
The scrap buckets: you put it in a pillowcase to make a dog bed in shelter. Very confort. Or ina "bubble quilt " to make a mattress! Right now, I am making a kid mattress with scrap like your to put inside.
I use to do that, but now our local shelter does not take fabric beds cause the dogs tear them up and then eat the fabric and sad things happen from there. So they don't accept them no more. I have a guy a city over that takes it all for pillow case beds at his rescue center.
Wow, wow, oh wow. That is a lot of scraps. You have years of fabric projects just out of scraps.
Yup there is a lot 😄
Praying for you and your family.
Well done Tiffany 👇
Mines next please 💗
😄 🤣 😂
Great ideas here! I’d love to do this.
