This quilt idea reminded of a friend whose Mom made clothes for her all the years she was growing up and saved pieces from each outfit in her cedar chest. When my friend was expecting her first child, her Mom got out the scraps and pieced a crib quilt for the new baby. It was exciting to see when she unwrapped the quilt and remembered so many of the pieces, the Easter dress, the dress for Grandma's birthday party etc. What a wonderful trip down memory lane that was for both of them. Just an idea for some of your young dress makers out there.
I love this idea, and while I make clothes for myself now, I dream of making dresses for my future daughters. This is a wonderful idea, and I hope to be able to do this one day
Yours are one level above mine, which are on the floor. It was so I could get a better look at them to pick out colours that would work for a patchwork project.
@@sybillestahl8646 if it helps, I like to use scrap pieces of cardboard to tack all of the fabric. you can use any old cardboard, from pieces of cereal boxes cut to size or old toilet paper rolls. i fold the fabric around it so it is square or rectangular, and then pin it there. it's a nice way to spend an afternoon if you are at home and have nowhere to be, I like to sit in the sunshine and do it. you can also tie together these tacked rolls of fabric with some string if you want to keep certain colours together
I love it so much that you tell us the centimeter AND inches ! As a German we only use centimeters. I always have to Google what inch length is in cm. I don't know but this makes me so happy! Thank you 🌼🌼
I'm currently stuck at home during the quarantine in Italy. I had scheduled my first sewing lesson next Saturday but it got canceled since every non essential activity is being shut down, so I'm kinda sad and looking for cute sewing projects to do with what I currently have. I already made a couple of comfy sweaters. I will try some of these as well!
I’m so sorry to hear that Serena, hopefully they will reschedule your lesson when all this craziness is over! Lovely to hear you’re using the time to make yourself some nice things. Stay safe! Xx
Serena I’m not an expert but I’ve been making some dresses lately. When I first started I made aprons and placemats. 25 years later I’m still using them. I’ve reclaimed an apron that I made as gift to my sister over 20 years ago.
Steph Krunic. The best ways to get good hexagons is to use a paper base so they are the same uniform shape. But that's hand sewing and so so painful. But just look at 'English Paper Piecing' if you need instructions.
So cool! Particularly love the last one. It's like "Still not sure what to do with your scraps? Make them someone else's problem!!" in the most positive and helpful way :)
@@sedmihradska It's ok if your scraps are smaller! You may just need to cut smaller hexagons. :) My scraps are always super irregular and small as well - but I'm keen to give these tutorials a try.
Your scrap fabric collection is so aesthetic! I look at my pile and it feels so lackluster. I'm still super excited to try the scrunchie and quilting with what I do have though!
Watching you sewing made me realise how poor my sewing skills are.... watching you ironing makes me realise how poor my ironing skills are.... 😳😅 Yeahhhhhh !!! I’d better start playing tennis.. please don’t ever make any video where you play tennis please Thanks I love the scrunches by the way You’re great 👍🏼
Awesome. My scraps are mushed in bags and the bags are piled in a corner. But, after watching your videos, your order and method, I feel it's possible to change my ways. Thanks for another great video.
I'm a beginner sewer and I'm so grateful for your videos! Thanks for sharing these little projects, will have them saved if I have to self isolate! Or even if I don't, they'd be an ideal way to spend an afternoon! Hope you are keeping safe, well, and healthy x
Great ideas to help keep our crafty hands busy while we have to kinda stay home etc! I have a hexie little ruler guy ,you've inspired me to pull him out and give him a go . Always fun to watch as always Janell . Stay healthy 😊
I'm making a braided scrap rug! So far it is 4 ft in diameter and it looks so fun. I included a few old pieces of clothes that aren't really worth wearing. I recommend it! It's great to do in your yard if it's nice out. I just sit outside and braid. There's definitely time to get started on a longer project like that!
I love your contrasting pockets! I have a couple of garments that could do with pockets so will give this a try. Thank you! Also, I'm so happy to see someone use pins the way I do. So many You Tube clips drive me crazy when I see pins inserted along a stitching line instead of adjacent to it so you can just keep sewing :-)
My scraps are way tinier because I hate throwing them away!! But some of these are still useful ideas. And masks have actually been perfect for the larger pieces.
What lovely ideas I just shared my first sewing project on my channel so I don’t have much scrap fabric yet but I love the idea of using these bits instead of letting them go to waste xx
You right don’t feel like shopping like fabric at the moment . Online isn’t the same I brought what I really needed but it was just a solid colour to finish a project .
I think it works best when you have a lot of leftover fabric from a big project, say, a dress. So you already have a dress of this pattern, and a napkin, and some quilt pieces, and a doll's outfit, and you STILL have some scraps left. And this is when they should go to a new home :D Happens to me all the time, thankfully I have a couple of friends in the doll collecting community who gladly accept my scraps and exchange theirs. Otherwise I'd have all my apartment covered in blue velvet after this particular cosplay dress.
English paper piecing technique is much easier for hexagon quilts, in my opinion, and it's very meditative and calming at a time like this! The extra supplies you need are very limited as well. You can buy precut paper pieces or a hexagon punch to make them yourself.
When fabric scraps are not big enough...sew them together to make new fabric. Then make the things you want out of that. This is what some clothing designers do to salvage scraps. Complimentary fabrics look great and random fabrics make unexpected surprises. Explore.
i love the idea of the hexagon quilt! I would hand sew it because I currently done have a sewing machine :( So it would take longer, but wish me luck hahaha
I have been given some pretty antique linen embroidered napkins but I feel like I’ll never use them for that purpose. (I just got married and we’re remodeling our house so we don’t have too much use for that type of stuff right now plus I got a ton of modern farmhouse dish rags/napkins for my wedding) I’d love to learn to sew and make a pretty flowy shirt out of the linen napkins but I don’t know if I should. I don’t want to ruin them!
😝Frankly, I often feel squeamish repurposing brand new items (fabric in clothing or linens or entirely other pieces) too -- esp. when the item was originally gifted🎁 to me. Or, when I consider the 💰money I've spent on something I never ended up wearing or using. 😯Shocking! 💖The truth is sometimes there is something we totally love about the item (or the giver), but in our heart💗 we know it doesn't quite suit our lifestyle or aesthetic. 😠On top of that, we all know when something sparks negative associations for us too -- and how🖌tweaking something with creativity and effort can make us fall in love with something all over again😍. 😡A purest will demand we ought to strictly use 🎀gifts as the original maker|designer intended. Many take great offense if a person dares to alter anything🛠. New or old, they tend to forget that not everything in life is some masterful, craftmans level, antique. 🎨Painting wood is often described as a 🕵️♂️crime against nature🌲, but the truth is not all wood looks good au natural.😆Many wooden furniture pieces were covered in cheap veneer to camoflauge that fact too. 😲At best, these narrow-minded folks insist you pass on said items, so another person can use it EXACTLY as originally designed.👩✈️This sort of militant person rarely even considers the notion that a vintage piece (even in pristine condition) can also be considerably out-dated or old-fashioned. As a result, many of these vintage items are getting trashed🗑 daily by legions of folks who cannot see beyond their original intent or the fact they hideously remind them of another era. 🤐 They refuse to acknowledge something being recycled♻️ is infinitely better than it being destroyed & rotting in the ground⚰ way before it's full utility has been explored. 🌎Waste is not good for our planet. Early pioneers were not careless with textiles (or anything). They figured out a chain of subsequent "lives" for textiles beyond their original purpose (table cloths, curtains, clothing, napkins, food coverings, patches, quilts, rag dolls, rag rugs and so on.) 💋We ought to admire such ingenuity and resolve. 👀Think it is perfectly fine to look at an item in a new way, esp. one that will marry both function and beauty. 💲It is wonderful to live in a wealthy country where textiles are more affordable, but it has made many of us careless and wasteful with them.🌟Appreciate makers like Janelle who figure out clever ways to reuse every last scrap. 💥Or, those who will used thrifted items for sewing, crafting, or costuming. 👩My tiny, petite mom was a fine seamstress.👧Resembled her in looks|figure, but got my height|scale from dad👨. Luckily, I was able to fit a few of her vintage pieces as an adult. Inherited custom made clothing from her youth made out of wonderful spectrum of mcm prints. 📸Took photos of garments before dismantling them. Created attractive tray tops, and wall art|frame mats (with them all housed safely under glass) instead. They bring me great joy -- not only for their beauty, but also sentiment. No one will have 💞cherished them to the degree I do. 😉All this to say, I give you full permission to reinvent that linen in any form that pleases you. 🤔Just encourage you to experiment with another cheap fabric before ✂️cutting into the one that is more dear. Good luck☘.

Brilliant !
That is so cute! Such a great idea!❤️
My grandmother was a seamstress and she used to make matching clothes for me and my dolls.
can we just apreciate, how damn ORGANISED her scraps are?? Mine are just chaos in a box 😅😅

Ciao! I'm also from Italy and I'm getting into sewing during this quarantine. I find these videos really helpful!
Her Serena! I recently taught myself how to sew using classes on MyBluPrint.com! I recommend it!
How long have you been quarantined....are you going stir crazy
Use this time stamps:
1. Mis-matched napkins 0:47
2. Contrasting pockets 1:44
3. 'BE NICE' wall art 3:15
4. Scrunchies 5:55
5. Hexagon quilt 7:32
6. Fabric bundles 9:43
This is also in the description at the top lol

The ideas for a hexagon "memory quilt" from your project scraps is wonderfully sentimental. Xoxox
The gift of fabric is a lovely idea too.
Thank you 🧡

😄🧡
I imagine scrap fabric to look very different from whole neat squares and stuff
She said cut your large spare fabric into squares. So they didnt originally look like this.
@@Irrelevxnt still, my scrap fabric looks different, it is much smaller
@@sedmihradska It's ok if your scraps are smaller! You may just need to cut smaller hexagons. :) My scraps are always super irregular and small as well - but I'm keen to give these tutorials a try.
@@VintageIndi much MUCH smaller...
Azurana oh stop trying to argue.
Your scrap fabric collection is so aesthetic! I look at my pile and it feels so lackluster. I'm still super excited to try the scrunchie and quilting with what I do have though!
It’s probably because I’m always drawn to the same colour palette when I’m fabric shopping 🙄😂 Have fun using your scraps!
Gonna try a denim scrunchie..i love scunchies😊
Another couple great projects: beeswax wraps, bandanas, and stuffing (cutting the scraps into little pieces to use instead of polyfill)!
Love the pocket project. Looking at a dress right now and thinking hmmmm🤔. And definitely have to make the scrunchies!
Thanks Janelle!
Yay have fun making these projects for yourself 😄💕
Watching you sewing made me realise how poor my sewing skills are.... watching you ironing makes me realise how poor my ironing skills are.... 😳😅
Yeahhhhhh !!! I’d better start playing tennis.. please don’t ever make any video where you play tennis please
Thanks
I love the scrunches by the way
You’re great 👍🏼
Hahaha trust me, this is all I’m good at 😂😂
I LOVE THIS COMMENT SO MUCH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW 😂
Awesome. My scraps are mushed in bags and the bags are piled in a corner. But, after watching your videos, your order and method, I feel it's possible to change my ways. Thanks for another great video.
I'm a beginner sewer and I'm so grateful for your videos! Thanks for sharing these little projects, will have them saved if I have to self isolate! Or even if I don't, they'd be an ideal way to spend an afternoon! Hope you are keeping safe, well, and healthy x
So true! Have fun making them 😊💕
I' m a sewing begginer and I love those ideas!
I love the fact that u say centimeters and inches both. So inclusive...
What fun projects and perfect way to use up fabric scraps. Hope you, your husband, family and friends stay safe and healthy.
Thanks lovely! You too 😘
in nz we are in quarantine for about 1 month so I’m trying to find thing to do and I am definitely going to try all these things ☺️
I think Aus will be in the same situation soon enough... Have fun sewing some nice things for yourself during this crazy time! Sending love xx
I love the quilt idea!!! 🤗🤗🤗 your videos are always brilliant! So many projects to start during this crazy time! Thank you janelle!!☺️
Thanks so much! Glad you like them 😄💕

That’s lovely to hear! Thanks so much 🧡
that yellow floral fabric is GORGEOUS im obsessed
I love your videos!!!! And the world is STILL CRAZY! Lord help us!
Love the pocket idea. Easiest to do scrunchies I've found so far. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
You’re welcome! Glad you’ve found these videos helpful 😄
I have wanted to learn to sew scrunchies great info
Perfect timing. Making coasters and mousepads today 😊
Great ideas to help keep our crafty hands busy while we have to kinda stay home etc! I have a hexie little ruler guy ,you've inspired me to pull him out and give him a go . Always fun to watch as always Janell . Stay healthy 😊
Thanks Amanda! Those hexagon rulers are such a good idea. Hope you start making a lovely quilt of your own 🧡
I can't sew but i'm here for aesthetics. Anyone else with me? 😅

Anyone can sew.
Anyone.
Abby C anyone but me
Guys dont give up i like started sewing yesterday with my sewing machine and i really did it good
@@ilikepotatoes3232

This ladies’ way of “scraps” is making-a-dress scrap.
i used to own a hexagon summer blanket that my grandmom make for me in my childhood 😊

Oh the contrasting pockets! I think I have some shorts to tear apart and put pockets in them!
Yay do it 😍
That scrap fabric bundle would be a dream gift 😍
I wish I had such beautiful scraps...
Me to my scraps aren't pretty
I seen my husband's own original safari suit. He looks so handsome esp5eith his thick long white socks and coke bottle glasses😍
Really appreciate you saying both centimeter and inch measurements!🥰
Such good ideas now that people have to stay in!
Nice to see you Janelle. Hope you stay well. Thanks for sharing this scrappy project video 🌸🌿
I always make scrunchies with my scraps so it’s nice to see something new to try

Totally! I can never throw fabric out. I know I’ll use it eventually 😄
So beautiful cloths pattern
The work is so beautiful
The video is so detail and helpful
Really like it with thanks
I love all your ideas.
What a nice idea ... the bundle of scraps. Love your projects. My first time here.
In other news, I didn't have vlisofix conveniently lying around my house, but spray-on adhesive worked a charm!
Good to know 😄
Girl, you read my mind. I'm starting a quilt today! Thank you ;)
Aww lovely! Have fun making it 😍
You are such a sweetheart 💕
The projects are wonderful. Thanks!
Love these ideas. I am going to make the mixed matched napkins - brilliant 😊
Yay have fun making them 😍
I have been making scrunchies wrong! Well, not wrong just different. But your method looks easier and more polished. I’m going to try your method! ❤️
You right don’t feel like shopping like fabric at the moment . Online isn’t the same I brought what I really needed but it was just a solid colour to finish a project .
it was bussin Janelle
Love the contrasting pockets!
Thank you! 💕
Can we just talk about how cute that outfit is 😅
I appreciate you in your video’s giving meserments in cm and in
I love the quilt idea and I'm so excited to start that project. Thank you for sharing such great ideas.
You’re so welcome! Have fun making your quilt 🧡
Love the contrasting pockets! Great idea. Thank you.
Thank you so much that you instead of just give the measurements in inches also
This video is so well-made!
Love the concept and projects of this video! Please do morw like this😍
Thank you! 😊🧡
Lovely projects! I never would have thought of the cute pockets. I love your channel. Keep these sweet videos coming!!
Thank you! 💕
Great ideas Janelle! I think im going to combine 2 and make a scrap quilt/wall hanging out of all my future makes!! ❤
That’s a beautiful idea 😍 Thanks love xx
Love this. I'm going to join hexagons and make make-up bags for all my friends this christmas.
These are all really unique scrap busters, thank you!
Thanks! You’re welcome 🧡
No time like this to destash! Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome 😊
I really like your stile from uk thank you for posting
The last one is literally just "Don't want your scraps? Make them someone else's problem!"
No hate, though. This video is adorable.
M Chang honestly I’d be happy to receive such aesthetic fabrics aha
I think it works best when you have a lot of leftover fabric from a big project, say, a dress. So you already have a dress of this pattern, and a napkin, and some quilt pieces, and a doll's outfit, and you STILL have some scraps left. And this is when they should go to a new home :D
Happens to me all the time, thankfully I have a couple of friends in the doll collecting community who gladly accept my scraps and exchange theirs. Otherwise I'd have all my apartment covered in blue velvet after this particular cosplay dress.
Thank you so much for the pockets !! It will save me a lot of time.
You’re welcome 🧡
My scrunchies turned out so well. Thank you so much for the video 💖
English paper piecing technique is much easier for hexagon quilts, in my opinion, and it's very meditative and calming at a time like this! The extra supplies you need are very limited as well. You can buy precut paper pieces or a hexagon punch to make them yourself.
*when you just collect/harvest fabrics from old clothing*
"h-how can i have usable scraps??"
ik with clothing I really have to use every last inch 😭
When fabric scraps are not big enough...sew them together to make new fabric. Then make the things you want out of that. This is what some clothing designers do to salvage scraps. Complimentary fabrics look great and random fabrics make unexpected surprises. Explore.
I love the colours! I can't wait to add contrasting pockets to a project when I get good enough to make clothes :)
Your fabrics are so beautiful!!! How do you pick fabrics and colors to go together???
This is so cute!! The pocket tutorial is a must!!😍😍👍🏻 Can’t wait to try it 👏🏻🥰
I would like to see a tutorial on how to make some clothes 😻like from scratch
There are heaps up on my channel already, and I’m always working on more 😍
I can’t wait to try the hexagon quilt!!
this is so soothing :,,,,) thank you for your lovely videos!
You’re welcome! 🧡😊
I’ve been sewing pjs bottoms and dresses and a quilt
i love these ideas! i mostly buy fabric from used art supply stores, so I do a lot of small scrap projects :)
Yay glad you found the video helpful 😄
Scraps oh my goodness piles n piles of those lol lol ty for sharring (smiles)
Love your aesthetic and amazing video ❤️
Thank you so much 🧡
Perfect been staying in because of the coronavirus so I will be sewing a lot!
Good idea so stay inside and sew 😊
Love this! So much compact content
Thank you 🧡
I like the hexis
i love the idea of the hexagon quilt! I would hand sew it because I currently done have a sewing machine :( So it would take longer, but wish me luck hahaha
A lot of people prefer to hand stitch hexagon quilts as the end result is a lot neater! Good luck, you will have a beautiful quilt at the end 🧡
All of my scrap fabric look so bad next to each other, yet yours match 😂
Haha I had a lot to choose from! That helps!! 🙈
Love these ideas! I have a stack of scrap fabric I can put to use now :) your channel is awesome, keep up the great content ♥️
Thanks so much 🧡
May I ask you which brother machine you are using? Wonderful projects!
I really like your scrunchie video. I got a book on how to do it. But your video is a lot simpler than book! :)
Thank you 🧡
Such a great bunch of ideas, I can’t wait to try these out! Thanks Janelle 😌
You’re welcome 😄🧡
