Scrappy Christmas Tree

When you invest some time to organize your fabric scraps by size, shape and color the payout is your own personal project kits that can be kept or gifted. That’s right, your scraps are free quilts waiting to be stitched. When you have time you can pick up one and sew from start to finish at a moments notice. They are perfect for practicing new patterns to testing out quilt motifs and techniques. When done, the best thing about your scrappy quilt is it will be used despite any imperfections.
🧵
In this video I walk you through how I organize my fabric scraps that are less than 2.5” wide in order to keep my sewing space neat and have a stash of projects ready to sew when I have a little me time. I provide some advice on important topics and bonus content also.
