Last year when I organized my sewing room, I promised myself I wouldn't hoard huge amounts of scraps and remnants. I'm doing OK with scraps. They make great baby clothes. When the remnant boxes get full, I'm supposed to purge. But it's awfully hard to get rid of things, so I'm trying to figure out what I can do with those pieces that are more than a 1/2 yard but not quite a full yard. Sometimes, I have like 30" plus scraps too. So these are too big to "waste" on baby clothes, but not big enough for me to use for anything. (I may make myself some scarves) Baby girl is growing into a 3T, so it's getting harder to work with small pieces. I will also have to use up the 1yd cuts in my stast before that's impossible to work with.
It's the dress weight bin that's really full, but I have some linen and denim stuff too, so I'll start the list myself with:
Puppet show shorts, which I have made in smaller sizes with only a half yard.
I was thinking this might be a useful topic for others too?
