    Great ideas for scraps!! I have been using my batting scraps along with all my fabric scraps to stuff dog beds that I donate to the local shelter. Many friends give me their scraps too so I'm able to make several for the shelters! I was given a bunch of upholstery fabric that I use for the outside!!

      I do the same thing! I put ALL of sewing scraps (fabric, batting, thread) in a pillowcase, stitch it up on the end and makes a nice dog/cat bed.

    Hi Melanie. Great video. You look wonderful & I pray that is a sign that you are healing nicely. Please update us again when you have news. We care & love you.
    If you haven’t made a video on this, I’d love to have you show us how to make some things for crochet. Like for instance a roll type pouch for our different hooks, a bag for current projects, a way to keep our yarn flowing like a yarn bowl but out of fabric maybe. Just ideas for you. Also, a video on how you store your yarn. My mom taught me some basic crochet when I was younger but I hadn’t worked on anything in years. Until I saw your berry stitch blanket. I’m working on it now. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. ❤️🥰💕

    I use mine for quilt as you go blocks in different sizes, and this year I made quilt as you go Christmas ornaments following a tutorial. I can't remember what channel the tutorial was on, but I want to say Shabby Fabrics. I'm not sure if that's right though. The ornaments use a tiny 3"x3" scrap of batting. If I can find it I'll come back and add to my comment. :) Love all of your ideas too!

    Hi, I just used some batting for phone pillow stuffing. I have zigzagged nice, but small pieces together & used them for bowl cozies. I may start a project to wrap refrigerator handles enclosed in fabric. I just started making ginger tea so I may do a mug wrap.

    It was very helpful. I’m going to cut some scraps tomorrow for dusting. Pat Sloan told about using a piece in your stiffer flat mop. There are push places on all 4 corners and that’s how you secure it. You guys have some great ideas. Tfs. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

    Make soft books out of them. Quiet time activity books are good too. You can make them whatever size of batting you have.
    English paper piecing and applique also work.

    Hot Pads are a great way to use up scraps...you can seam a few pieces together for this and it would not matter as the project is so smalll and you would most likely be quilting quite a few lines on in for stability.

  • @lindatusler902
    @lindatusler902 3 года назад

    Another way to attach your batting together if you’re out of the tape is use strips of Fusible Interfacing. I bought a bolt when I was doing T-shirt quilts for someone and it’s a light weight and I cut in about 1 inch strips and I keep them in a bag and whenever I run into a problem where I need to add a piece of batting I just get those out they work great

    @lorrainearmstrong327 3 года назад

    Thanks for the ideas. When I use batting for stuffing, I cut in 12” squares or whatever then I just kinda tear down from the top. Some pieces are big and some are small. It doesn’t really matter cause you just stuff it😂I really really enjoy your channel. Thanks
