Hi Stacey, I've been sorting my scraps by color and making reusable grocery bags out of them. They came out so pretty! Instead of using batting, I used medium weight iron on interfacing. Since the bag is lined, the interfacing works well to make a sturdy but light-weight bag.
Awesome Rachel! That sounds like a great idea - I love it 🤗
Love this!
What a great idea! I’m going to put some of my scraps to this good use. Thank you!
Genius! Especially since so many stores (in the us at least) aren’t providing plastic bags anymore
I love the phrase "scrap busting"! I save every leftover bit that is sewable. It's also a cool way to remember all of the quilts & projects that a person has made. Thanks for such great ideas to use them!! You're the BEST!!
Thanks so much Kelly! I am glad you like the phrase! Yes that is true, it's a nice way to remember all the quilts you have made 😊
It would be cute pillows to go with the quilts too
This is such a fun technique for using those scraps. Finished items look so pretty and special. Thinking of all the small projects you've taught us that could be made with this scrap-busting method. Love it! 🤩
Thanks so much Louise for watching with me! Yes, I have so many small projects that this technique is perfect for 😍
Thank you so much for this!!! I just recently got a sewing machine and I'm so excited to start my sewing journey making cute little bags with old clothing that no longer fits.
Yay! Welcome to the wonderful world of sewing! You might like to check out my “learn to sew” videos ❤️
Your last tip (long strip and sew shorter items to it) is my go-to method. A perfect application for whimsical piecing is making reuseable shopping bags for friends and family or perhaps a pet bed/quilt cover.
Thanks so much! I love those ideas, they are perfect! 😊
What a neat idea , a pet bed quilt cover sounds awesome. ❤
Love that I am not alone with pressing and neatness!!!
Thank you! I can't help it! There's no other way ☺️
I can’t bear to waste my scraps and have made three quilts using this method. After piecing the scraps I make squares and use a uniting fabric to make a scrappy quilt.
Love it Lucia! That's an awesome way to make a quilt using this technique! 😊
good for barbie clothes, baby doll clothes too!😁
Great idea!! 🤗
Love this!! I have been doing this for years 😀 I have a huge basket of scraps and make what I call crazy blocks between projects. I trim them to 6.5" and keep them in a basket till I have enough for a large lap quilt. I then add sashing between the blocks and have a cheerful quilt! If the quilt ia going to a child, I will make an I SpY list for them as well.
That is awesome Trina! I love it, what a great idea to make them as you go 😊
I do something similar with the scraps so they don't get out of hand, try to keep up. After a stressful day, nothing relax s me like spending 20-30 minutes of scrap piecing so I do end up with enough to make a quilt!
What is an "I spy" list?
@@Rosey_Parker its a list of things to find in the quilt top. I love to use novelty fabric in kids quilts so there is usually characters or objects for them to find in each block.
@@trinam2503 aaaw, so fun. Thanks for the explanation. 💗
I have been doing this for years. I call it my garbage quilts. They end up being picnic blankets and covers for the dogs. They Make great pieces to practice free motion quilting.
That’s a great idea. But garbage quilts seems a little harsh 😂
Our guild makes placemats for seniors, meals on wheels program. This would be awesome to make cheerful mats and use up scraps doing so ❤
That is lovely Debbie and I agree they would be lovely made using this technique 😊
First video I seen of yours and subscribed! You are so clear and easy to understand. And it's nice to have a local accent teaching me quilting tips on yt. 😁
Awesome Fiona - thanks so much! I'll take that as a big compliment 😊
Thank you so much Stacey for sharing with us all of your techniques! This one is so useful! No more waste of fabrics for me now 🥰💪👏
Thanks so much Tamara! Yes it's a great technique so you don't waste fabric 😊
What a great idea, Stacey ! Thank you for sharing it with us. 🌺
Thanks so much Teresa! I am glad you like it 😊
What a great idea to use up your scraps...Thanks Stacey
Thanks so much Margo! I am glad you liked it 😊

Love this idea. The book cover is so perfect!
Thanks so much Mena! Yes the book cover is perfect! 😍
Yesterday, I bagged up all of my scraps and donated them to a local thrift store 😛 So starting today I know what to do with them, thank you ma'am.
Yes save them up from now on 🤗
Great tips❤️

Glad you liked it! I hope your machine isn't too far away Debbi 🙄
thank you! This will provide hours of fun for me!
Awesome Kassy! Thanks for watching my video 🤗
This is a cool way to use up scraps! I have a lot of scraps. I think that I might just make a large section of fabric to have on hand for when the “right” project comes along.
Thanks so much Janie! Yes it's a great way to use up scraps! I could see some of your tote bags being made with this method 😍
@@staceyleecreative That’s what I was thinking too!
Thanks for the tutorial on using our scraps. Looking forward to using this technique.
Awesome Shelia - I am glad you liked it! I appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment, it means a lot to me! 😍
So fun , I love it! I want to make placemats with scraps ❤
Yes that would be awesome 🤩
So many options to use this technique with! I just moved and am anxious to get to crafting. Thank you for all the great tutorials!
You are so welcome Sandra!
First time watching your videos. You explain things so well and your voice is very calming. ✌🏻♥️
Thanks so much Dianne! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment ☺️
This is really cute.
Thanks so much Cindy! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
Oh i love this. Its like crumb quilting in a way but with larger pieces. I love this and will have to try it with some of the many scraps i have here.
Hey Sean! Yes a nice quick way to make up pieces big enough for other projects 😊
I love this method. I’d like to take it a step further and embroider the piece to make it extra special. Thanks.
Great idea! I love it! Thanks for watching 🤗
Love it i have a lot of fabric scraps these video help me a lot thankyou !!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 🤗
The zipper pouch is super cute!
Thanks you Annie! Thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it 😊
Amei a ideia!
Thanks so much 🤗
Thank you for the tutorial. I’ve wondered how to go about managing my scrap mountain and now you’ve given me ideas! You are very good teacher. I love listening to your accent! I’ve subscribed to your channel and will watch all your videos! 😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for subscribing - I appreciate you watching my videos 🤗
Thanks Stacey for this, think I may make one of your zipper pouches using this technique.
Yes! It’s the perfect project for this. I love mine that I showed in this video 🤗
Kia ora Stacey this is a lovely idea. Have a good weekend. It’s raining and cool here in Wellington. Kind regards.
Kia ora Lynda! Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment! I can imagine winter is closing in on NZ right now 😊
As soon as I saw you I knew you would be a great teacher !
Aww thanks so much ❤️
I have used this scrappy fabric as the backing for table toppers or wall hangings
That's a great idea Janice! Love it 😍
Absolutely love this! Going to try to make different blocks with my scraps...maybe a table runner or just a smaller quilt. Who knows, lol
Sounds great Sandra! Thanks for watching the video 😊
Thank You, I'm needing new hot pads and will use this technique.
That’s awesome Susie! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 🤗
I would love to see this in a red, white, and blue version, thanks!😊
Oh yes red, white and blue would be awesome Kendra! Thanks so much for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment 😊 Happy Sewing 🧵
I love that Idea as I have a box full of scraps that I could do the same thing with thank you for your video. I am so happy about it that I could use up some of my scraps. Take care Daphne from Australia
That's awesome Daphne! I am glad you found my video helpful! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment, it means a lot to me 😊
I'm going to have to pick through scraps and try this
Please do Cindy, it's a lot of fun!
I like this method vs. sewing down odd pieces to iron-on lining which makes the project look like rick-rack or zigzag designs. Love the boxy look better. And one can keep adding to make a larger piece of fabric to make so many different items. Also I could listen to your voice/accent all day. Thank you for your tutorials!
Thanks so much Pamela! I appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment 😊
Adorei ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Fun way to use scraps.
Thanks so much Patti! Thanks for watching with me 😍
Yes, I do this also... and just this week-cleaned out a box of scraps (made 12 Fat Quarters)... will use for either a blanket or some purses or backpacks. LOVE ❤️ the videos. Thank you. 😊
That’s wonderful! Thanks so much for your lovely comment and well done for using up a box of scraps 🤗
I always find it is best to avoid too small patches especially on the out side of blocks. I do not want my seams to be too close together. These made fabric blocks are great for using as a part for another more traditional block.... I do enjoy your videos
Thanks so much Anna for your kind words. That is a great tip! Thanks for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it!
Think ill make a book cover as a gift. I have left over batiks from a quilt. They will be great. Thank you.
That sounds awesome Joy! I appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment, it means a lot to me! 😍
This was a great video! I was doing this recently to make potholders. When you said we could cut it to make different blocks, that made me have an aha moment because one project I started I didn't like. Haha Thank you! I love your accent!
Thanks so much Debora! I am glad you found it useful and I inspired an idea for you 😍 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it 😊
Thank you for a wonderful video. New viewer from san antonio, tx😂
Welcome 🤗 Thanks for watching! 🙏
I'm making some scrap strips and then make a quilt with them. I have 2 quilts so far but I'd like to make something for my mum.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching 🤗
Last year I made a ton (like 35) napkins for a Christmas party. This would be great to use up the scraps into a few placemats for me
Yes that’s a great idea 🤗
These are cute ideas. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you
Welcome Karin 🤗 Thanks so much for subscribing ❤️
I’m planning on making an oversized tote bag. Than you!
Yes Patricia that will be so cool! ❤️ Thanks for watching and taking to leave a comment, it’s really appreciated 🤗
Like like like! If I could, I'd subscribe 10x !!!
Thanks for this method for little scraps.
Awww you are so sweet Krisin! Thanks so much 😍
Fun video. I don't get a chance to get material that often. So, I've tended to keep 95% of my material for quite a few things.
That's awesome! Have fun using up all those scraps 😊
I like to sew the scraps on squares of worn bedsheets. That makes the blocks sturdy. And it is possible to use squares of batting instead of bed linen.
Great idea! Thanks so much for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it 🤗
I just happened to come across this tutorial and want to say thank you for posting on your screen the very details I usually wonder about as a slightly advanced newbie sewist 1:43 and 5:41 ❤
Thanks so much for your feedback Virginia! Funny you say that. This is the first video I have put the details on the screen, usually I say it but I was trying to cut back on how much I talk 😂
@@staceyleecreative well then, I'm suscribing 👍🏼😊
@Virginia Valentin Awesome! Thanks so much!
@@staceyleecreative you are considerate and your instructions are very clear. I'm really thinking about purchasing a serger for some crafting in bulk and want to make fast work of it but I'm terribly intimidated by the thought of the machine. I'm hoping to gain confidence by binge watching videos of getting started. Do you have a beginner serger how to tutorial?
I would like to make a circle skirt but it is difficult to buy fabric that is wide enough for my large body. I think you just solved my problem. Thank you.
Wonderful! Happy Sewing 😊
I keep even the smallest of pieces including my selvages... lol 😊
That’s great! This project would be perfect for them ❤️
Thanks!
Welcome! 🤗
Cool
Thanks so much Cheryl! 😊
Gives me some ideas for hot pads or place mats
Awesome - perfect project idea 💡
I love this! I'm just wondering, do you need to finish the inside edges with a zigzag stitch or a serger of will they stay put like that?
Hi, no you don't. We sew back over them when making a project. We don't use sergers for quilting
I save the smallest pieces and use them for stuffing
That’s a great idea! 💡
@@staceyleecreative yep when you run out of actual stuffing I had some but couldn’t find it after I moved so I used scraps and then I found it when the project was finished lol but it worked great!
Attempting to make place mats wish me luck
You can do it. I have a tutorial for simple place mats, you could use that to help you too ruclips.net/video/1z198GKcwW0/видео.htmlsi=FjC6DJpYxrKuYddB
I need that cute little iron! Where did you purchase that from?
Hi Sarah, it's the Oliso Mini Project Iron amzn.to/458AeiU
Hi Stacy,I would like to make a bigger piece and make a blouse, would this work?
Hi, yes you could. But you’d need to serge the edges of fabric to stop it fraying 🤗
What is the brand of that little iron you are using? I've been looking for a small cordless one and can't find any good ones.
Hi it's Oliso and they have a brand new one out, but it isn't cordless. amzn.to/47YwBww
Looks like a fun activity, just wondering what the ironing mat is made from?
It looks like my wool mat.
Hi Colleen! It's a wool mat. My ironing board cover was driving me crazy with the stains, so I decided to try a wool mat because many people really like them, and I think they are less prone to stains 😊
Yes it's a wool mat 😊
Hi, what a great idea. I notice that you don't backstitch, is it not necessary? And is there no need for overlocking first?
No backstitch and no overlocker required for this. In fact I don’t own an over locker. They are not required for quilting type projects.
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your hard work. I know you are making these videos look easy.
Thanks so much, Margaret! The videos are a lot of work to make, but it's definitely worth the effort, especially when people like you leave nice comments 😊
Ave 2 rooms of yardage I'll never sew up. I can't deal with scraps. Love watching all the stash quilts.
Wish I didn't have all this. Rather buy pre cuts now.
So I basically don't sew any of it. At 77, why bother?
Fair enough! Just sew what makes you happy 🤗
Hi Stacey, great video. What is the name of the iron you were using and where can I purchase it. Thanks
Sorry for the late reply. It's an Oliso Mini Project Iron, you can find it here: amzn.to/3PRytRV

What ironing mat and iron size are you using?
Hi I am using this mat: amzn.to/40UhZvN and this iron: amzn.to/4835noL
The About info box on you gives a US address, but I swear that's a Kiwi accent! I'm wondering if the scraps are all aligned in terms of direction of material - I'm not sure of the right terms, but the way the threads face, is it weft and weave? Or bias? Basically a straight edge could be cut on any angle? Or is it along the thread lines? I've seen another video that demonstrated a similar technique, and I couldn't tell there either, they used straight edges but it didn't matter if the edge was in squares/rectangles like yours were, they could have been on diagonals, but it wasn't clear if even with the diagonal they had somehow matched the underlying material direction. It looks more likely with your squares/rectangles that you are ensuring the underlying material direction is matched, but could you please clarify? Many thanks, from an interested Kiwi (who would also appreciate measurements in metric if possible ;) )
Hi, yes I am a kiwi living in the USA. If you want your fabric facing in a certain direction you should do that. We sewing piecing in all directions when quilting so we don't worry the weft and weave. Quilting is always done in inches, even in NZ. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
Can you provide a link to the cute little iron?

Can you please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 tell us where you got that iron?!??
Hi, it's an Oliso ProPlus iron amzn.to/3N4cBzT
@@staceyleecreative thank you!
😍🥰
Thanks so much did watching 🤗
Very nice! I love it. you can literally make your own designer fabric with this technique. Thanks
Yes you can! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment ❤️
Tetris for quilters. You have played Tetris, right?
Yes! I used to be addicted to that game. I had a little handheld version, I wish I still had it! 😊
My mind ‘read’ the thumbnail as food: sesame seed bun, ham, cheese, tomato… !
Oh Emily! I hope you weren’t disappointed 🧀🍅

Great idea! 🤗
😊😊😅😅😅
Thanks so much Angela 😊
Yo por más que trató de sacar algo con todos lo recortes de telas que me quedan, a la hora de unirlos me parece horrible y los descarto porque no les veo nada bonito😔
Oh no! It helps if they go together nicely. Sometimes it doesn’t look good until it’s all sewn together and finished.
(Comment on wrong video) ❤
😊
