- Is your stash overflowing? Let me show you how to make your own Jelly Rolls from your stash and scraps. This will save you the expense and let you curate your own personal set of fabrics while using up what you already own.
A purchased jelly roll is usually a set of 2.5" strips of fabric and is usually a sampling of an entire line of fabric. These sets usually contain between 40 to 44 strips. There are so many wonderful jelly roll patterns out there! Some are even free.

One of the best rulers for this type of job is the Creative Grids Stripology ruler. This ruler is an investment, but it is worth every penny. Stack and whack your fabrics with no loss in precision and save about 2/3rds of cutting time.
I don’t have one yet. I’m a little concerned about how I’ll store it. Great idea for making your own jelly rolls! Thank you.
I agree. Love my Stripology.
@@sharonlyman3029 love mine too!
Every time I buy yardage, I get extra, and cut four 2.5" strip's, building my own strip stash. So easy. Also cut four 10" squares. I am buying colours i like so know i like the fabric, and just over half yard extra. Or half metre in Australia. Worth it to build own precuts. Tfs,hugs, Chel 🌸
Beautiful idea! I love it! Thank you for sharing your system. ❤️
This may be hard to believ for some but I actually can't by jelly rolls in the Philippines, quilting isn't a common hobby here, I'm so glad that I can make it at home with just some time and effort
Really? That is so interesting! And disappointing. I am thrilled this video can help you, however! Please let me know if you have any questions about the process. ❤️
I think it’s so great that you take the time to encourage people use what they have, instead of pushing some new product or fabric line. Your approach is going to be just as beautiful, totally unique, free to you, and echo friendly! Can’t wait to see what you make!
Thank you so much! 🥰
How fun and organized! I’d love to see a project that you do with jellies, or even charms that would be different… You always have such fun ideas! Thanks for the video
My pleasure! 😍 And thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. ❤️
Watching you handle that rotary cutter with both hands!!! 🤯. You are good!!
😊 Thank you! I have been ambidextrous since I was a kid but not really by choice. I went to an old-school Catholic elementary school and the nuns didn't like that I was left handed. Joke is on them now. LOL!
I am a brand new quilter, and I have this crazy idea- i want to make Log Cabin quilts for my children - all SIX of them- for Christmas.... I am studying different tutorials which have made this feat "seem" completely doable..... then I started calculating hay how many Jellyrolls I would need to make them- YIKES!!!!
and then YOU popped up! Bless you bless you! This l making my own strips also means I can pitch my own fabric colors!
I plan to record the process and will refer to you and THIS video with gratitude for making this project affordable. I won't post until after i have given them to our children, so don't hold your breath! Lol
Momma Gayle
Thank you thank you in advance!!!!
Woohoo! Love this! So glad it is helpful! I also have a log cabin tutorial using jelly rolls if you want to check it out. Thank you for referencing me in your future tutorial! I will check out your channel, too!
Another great video...thanks!!
You bet! Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely fantastic video. I always learn so much from you. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain every step of the process. How you eliminated things and why you eliminated things. I can’t wait to try to make my own. I love jelly rolls but often the price is prohibitive
Thank you! You are so sweet! I am happy this is helpful. ❤️
Kris- nice video. I love how you're into a bit of everything from old quilts to new unboxings. A happy button rings in my brain when your new videos drop. Thanks.
You are so welcome! Some of the advice I got early on in my RUclips endeavor was to narrow my content area. I am glad I didn’t listen. I love it all! Lol!
Jan. 4, 2024. Oh so pretty! But come on Kris, throw some non traditional blue in there! Oooohhh sparkley!
So yesterday I went to one of our local stores that had a sale on clear plastic containers that were 8qt size. Just perfect for jelly rolls and other select cuts of scraps so I wouldn't have to use plastic bags. $0.99 each. Great. They were out of them. Someone bought 50 of them the day before. 😮😮😮😮I told the clerk at check out that at least I only bought two bags of on sale Christmas candy. Marion
Hi Marion! LOL! I love it! I am not a blue Christmas type of gal, but hey, you definitely could put blues into this.
I hate when you have a plan and they are sold out. I hope they restock soon and gave you a rain check! Yay for avoiding the candy! I call that a win! 😄
That’s such a gorgeous assortment of fabrics! I can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Thank you! I show how I use them in my latest video. Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/3mP_Ml6e3UU/видео.html
Love this!
Yay! So glad it is helpful!
Thanks, that was Great! I'm just learning all this from scratch.
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Kris it’s not crossed my mind to create my own Christmas jelly roll. And now that I think of it I should create neutral rolls from my stash too. Thank you for the suggestion.
Yay! I am so happy it is useful! This would be a good workshop. ❤️
Excellent content Kris!!!
I enjoyed this video sew much!
💛💛💛💛❤
Thank you! You are a great mentor! ❤️❤️❤️
Love any length you make! I just enjoy your videos so much. I plan on making some of these projects. Thank you once again.
Yay! Thank you so much! You are so welcome! More longer videos to come. ❤️
Can't wait to see what you do with those! Beautiful assortment, I love Christmas fabric as well!! I will be looking to do this with my scraps, now!!
Thank you! I have a video going up this afternoon using them!
What an awesome jelly roll❤..love it.
Thank you 😋
All reds go together!
That’s such a great idea, Kris. You’re always so inspirational. Thanks ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you so much! ❤️
This was fabulous, thank you!
You're so welcome! Glad it is helpful! ❤️
Loved making jelly rolls!!!
It sure is rewarding, isn't it?
Very helpful video Thank you love your channel ❤️😊🌺
You are so welcome! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ Glad you are enjoying it!
Great idea! What a fun thing to do in the winter months. I also willingly accept my friends scraps
It is good to have friends who don’t like a lot of scraps! My problem is I say yes too often! Lol!
Thanks for this. Can’t wait for your video on how to use them
Thank you! It is going up this afternoon!
Great idea 👍😃 Can’t wait to see what you are going to make with them 🤔 👏🇬🇧
Thank you! There is a jelly roll video going up this afternoon. 🤣
Such a useful video. Will use this technique to make some pieces large enough for a tote bag AND/OR a lounging blouse (whatever they're called. 😉)
Yay! So glad you like this! It would be perfect for those types of projects. Do you watch The Last Homely House? She made a dressing grown recently. I think that would look great in strips. Thank you for watching and sharing!
@@SewtheDistance I've never heard of that channel. Thank you for suggesting it. Will check it out. 😻
You are so welcome. It is a favorite of mine. I hope you like it, too!
GREAT! THX
So glad you like this!
I’ve been wanting to do jelly rolls and other precut bundles with my fabrics. I have about 7 large totes of fabrics that I need to go through. I’m going to have to tackle one box at a time so I don’t become overwhelmed and I think I want to wrap them in pretty ribbons also and I know it will be nice to be organized:)
Thanks for the nice video
That’s a great idea! I am so happy this video with help you get organized! ❤️
Recently I have started cutting down much of my fabric to make my own pre-cuts. Anything I bought for a project is going in a bag per project. The rest i am cutting 10x10, 9x9 (so I can get two from a fat quarter and accommodate stuff I wanted to make 10x10 out of but was short.) Also I am doing 5x5, 4.5x4.5 (because I found a huge stack in black I cut for a project and it had been waayy to many) 2.5x2.5, 2.5x5, 1.5x5 and 1.5x2.5. I am keeping them organized in large bags as I cut it all up. I seem to have mostly 5x5 and 2.5x2.5 so I am stacking them by color. Keeping them in sandwich bags.
Great ideas! Thank you!
Hi Kris, loved this video. I like your eliminating process and loved the jelly roll collection that you came up with. They all look so good together. I am always a bit unsure of what goes with what. Now I am looking forward to seeing what you are going to make with these jellyroll strips.
Thank you! I am so happy you found it useful! ❤️
Nice video - I'm always looking for ways to tame my leftovers! I also have the Omnigrip 2-1/2" ruler - I love it; it's one of the ones I use most often.
Thank you! So happy this is useful. I use that little ruler a lot. Lol!
Brilliant, tfs x
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you
You're welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous I have so many Christmas fabrics and this is perfect! I cannot find the video using these! Have you posted it yet! Thanks!
Yes I have! Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/ay7XqwDOQXI/видео.html Thanks so much for watching!
Always so educational! Love the pine cone branch. ❤
Hi Chris! Thank you! It’s a great fabric!
Hi Kris, 💖💖💖🥰 chris
Good morning, Chris! ❤️❤️❤️ Kris 😀
My son wants me to make him a rag rug but I don’t have any material!
Can I buy jelly rolls?
Yes, you can! Any quilt shop should have them. Hope this helps!
I have tried this, how do you avoid getting that litte "v" at the folds.. I just cant get a straight cut if my fabric is folded. Any tips ??
Hi Shelley! Great question. This is an issue with a lot of people. The V usually happens when the fabric isn't folded correctly, usually when it comes off the bolt. The best way to make sure this doesn't happen is to open up the fabric completely, press it really well, and refold it correctly. I hope this helps!
@Sew the Distance yes Kris, you're right, !!! Thank you ❤️
Hi what is the normal length of a jelly roll strip please
Great question! It is the width of the fabric, edge to edge or selvedge to selvedge. It ranges between 40” and 44” depending on the print, maker, and company. Hope this helps!
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
On your jelly roll knockoff quilt I enjoyed your video. However, if I got Mis- printed fabric from jo-ann's, I would expect it to be free. They should not be selling something like that
True! Although I think it is what happens with the lower quality fabrics. Some people say it happens with higher quality, too, although I haven't experienced it. Hopefully this is a good example of what can happen and others will make sure it doesn't happen to them. Thank you so much for watching this video and the budget video! ❤️
sorry but you don't show video how to roll the jelly roll... how can we do that ?
Gosh, I don't know. I guess just fold the strips in half, stagger them, and roll it? I made them to use, so I didn't try rolling them. Great question, though! I can try to figure it out.
@@SewtheDistance ok no problem. It's because I would do it for me for storage in my boxes. Thank you :)
I hate pinked edges and will never buy any precuts that have them. I suppose if someone is making a project where precision isn’t important, the pinked edged precuts could be okay.
I am not a fan of them either. Totally understand. ❤️
Salvage ??!, Please stop pronouncing incorrectly.
As someone with a master's degree in linguists, I recognize not all dialects and regions are the same; hence, pronunciations of many words are different depending on each individual's sound house. This is okay. This is expected. This is acceptable. This is one of many things that make us unique. Thank you for pointing out our wonderfully delightful differences! ❤️ Love to you. I hope you have a blessed day.
I do this! It's fun! I use these for jelly roll rugs. I do the same with batting scraps
I love it! I want to make a scrappy jelly roll rug! It is on my list. I am going to a retreat in a few weeks. Maybe that's the project I should take! Thank you!
Thank you
You’re very welcome! ❤️
