I have made the BEST crazy quilt toppers out of my scrap fabric bits. My grandmother taught me the no waste pf materials policy because she grew up in the Great Depression. I am 57 and still have the very 1st crazy quilt she made for me when I was 8 years old. I use flat bed sheets, just like she did, for the underside of the topper. I hand tie like she did. Every single crazy quilt I have sewn has been a treasure to give away to someone special. I think of Grandma being so pleased that I became a quilter and seamstress just like her.
Thank you for posting and sharing this Lisa. What a great tribute to your granmother.

I'm making a Christmas quilt right now and am hand tying it. It's my first quilt that I'm tying, so I hope it comes out ok. I loved your video!
I know this video is 5yr old. However I just came across it today. I'm so happy that I found your easy explanation of making fabric with scraps. I want to make a crazy quilt for my great granddaughter, who will be 4 in September. I thought if I start now I may finish by her birthday :).
Have fun and thanks for watching!
I just found this too while looking for panel fabric project. Awesome 😄
@juliegray7658 Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Great video. This is the true eco tradition of patchwork - making use of scraps that couldn't be used for anything else. They make such lovely, new, unique fabrics.
What a great idea for when your brain is tired or you just don't want to DO anything else! I LOVE it! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Glad you watched!
My grandmother taught me how to make a quilt when I 7 years old and tie it when I was little. Happy that she taught me how to make quilts.
What a special memory. Thank you for sharing that and for watching.
Thank you. Very creative. I love your gentle, no pressure style. I, for one, need some pressure-free activities.
I'm a beginner quilter, and I like this idea! You've inspired me!
Great idea for using up scraps. I hate throwing away fabric. I see my friends throwing what I think are big pieces into the bin. I fish them out for myself!

Yeah I know I hate that
Great idea! At quilt camps I rescue the scraps that have been thrown away by other quilters. Amazing what people throw away! This will be a fun way to use them. Thank you. 😊
Great idea! Wow - You will get lots of free fabric that way. I bet that will be fun. Thanks for watching!
Me too 😂
I love sewing and what you teach here is what I've been taught by my mother and aunts. Wonderful!
Love this so much. I am very into little or no waste for both our household’s sake as well as our planet’s, and this craft is just what I’ve been wanting to do soon. I find this kind of patchwork so charming. Loved your approachable style of teaching. Glad I found your channel!
I also think this is more in the true spirit of quilting.i am a beginner and have watched so many tutorials about being precise during cutting ,and scant quarter inch seams my head is spinning. I have my great great grandmothers log cabin quilt and it is made of scraps of clothing and the only consistent color is the center block. I think it’s kind of a shame that so much perfection and pressure is placed on a quilter it hardly seems fun or relaxing. This is both!
Thank you so much! This is by far the simplest, most straightforward and best tutorial I have found on the subject. My friend sent me scraps of luxury fabric from the company she works at and gave me the challenge of turning them into a face mask! I am now confident I can do it! Thanks again Claudia x
Thanks for watching
these are absolutely beautiful!!,! i want a dress in these newly made fabrics
Go for it! I bet that would be pretty!
Lovely to revive the art of true patchwork. 🤗
😃 *It's like a puzzle where you make the pieces go wherever **_you_** want! (No box top peeking necessary.) Lol 😄 Tfs!!* 😊👍
When I saw your name I got my hopes up...do you know why my quilting/walking foot sticks up and pops down when I use it? Machine and foot both new... :'( ThAnKs!!!
@@mamas_quilts3573 I'd call a sewing machine shop in your area. If you don't have one near by Google your machine brand dealer. Another resource would be local quilt shop.
@@Babs-Veterans-are-Family thank you!🌻
Beth Norris my old walking foot for my old singer did the same. It wasn’t original .it was plastic . It kept doing it , I had to purchase a new one. Make sure the grabber bar is secured to the needle bar properly. Hope this helps!
@@kathyvalentine1543 thanks!! I did finally realize I had purchased a faulty walking foot. I'd like to thank each one of you for stopping to comment and help me figure it out ❤
Thank you! I have so many scraps that I want to make into a skirt and I had no idea where to start. This will make it so easy!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
The yellow quilt is gorgeous!
Thanks so much & thanks for watching too!
This is really a great video. You show the tecnic AND the result. I like how you choose the fabrics and the colors. It´s exactly my way.
This is a good way to use up the bits that are left over from my projects. I like to call this “Mindless Sewing” as it requires very little decision making. I tried this last night, but used many different colors.. But I had a sense that I wanted to use one colorway, and now that I’ve seen you do this, it’s what I’m going to do.
Beautiful great idea for scraps fabric ang I love your cute kitty 🐱 stuffy.
No scrap left behind! Way to go!
How lovely is your yellow quilt made from scraps. Well done Claudia.
Thanks!
This is great, my mom just showed me BOXES of scraps she has just like this, it’s a perfect way to use them!
Love this! Very creative. Scraps can be overwhelming but now I have a plan!! Thank you.
The yellow toy and quilt with the white saahing look great. Thanks for this tutorial.
Thanks!
Someone else loves purple like I do!
Definitely. 💜. Thanks for watching!
Love those you showed us at the end, beautiful. :)
Thank you! Cheers! Thanks for watching.
That is a great idea. Relaxing and enjoyable. The scraps store so much easier as a block and they are ready to go for a fun little project. Love it. Thank you
Yes! Thank you! I love doing this.
Love this! Precisely was I was looking for…I want to do this over the years with fabric scraps from clothes I make for my daughter. 😊
Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching. That sounds like a great idea.
What a wonderful lesson!! I am teaching myself to sew and I am starting to make Heirloom dolls with long skirts. We have an outdoor drama in our area with museum and I was asked to make a few for consignment (they are and must be hurting for vendors😆)so hubby and I thought how cute would patchwork skirts be!! You popped up on my recommended list first thing! Kinda ironic. Thank you and your creations are beautiful
Love this technique as I'm scissors challenged in cutting squares. Gives me inspiration that quiltung may just happen for me. Thanks gor sharing your knowledge and time.😊
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy trying it out.
What a great idea. I'm going to have to look at my scraps and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the inspiration. Diane in NC
Thanks!
Hi there Claudia you make this look so easy thank you for sharing I have subscribed
I'm playing with my fabric crumbs, using the fabric for applique, then using the "made" fabric for borders. Thanks for visuals!
Great idea! That sounds like it will look lovely. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great video. I love making crumb blocks and plan to make a quilt. Love your use of them. I had never thought of putting same colours together so may give that a try.
Very creative and frugal. Love the yellow quilt top. Very unique.
Yes, it's great that she showed a couple of projects she made with the "frankencloth."
wonderful old fashioned idea that you have shown,,,thanks
I recognize many of your fabrics! I have them, too! And I love the idea of making monochromatic scraps into fabric for projects like toys. I can't wait to try this.
Wonderful! I love it when I see other people using fabrics I have. It's sew much fun! Thanks for stopping by!
I love this idea ! I just started saving my crumbs and making blocks, it’s so freeing! That’s a great yellow quilt! Love it ❤❤❤❤
Have fun and thanks so much for watching.
love what your doing! its a great way to use up all the scraps, keep up the good work!
I had to subscribe ! I’m getting a couple baskets of quilting scraps building up and I’m delighted with this idea. Love the monochromatic look- never would’ve thought of that ! I love the quilt top -great idea for more community service quilts for our guild. Thank you for sharing!
OMG, the end result is soooo lovely. 👌👌 Thank you for this idea.
Thank you for this video. I have been so intimidated by crumb piecing because I didn't want it to look bad. I think I will try it like you show.
I’m so glad you’ll be giving this a try. It’s really fun to pair up the colors. Have a great day!
I really liked this video. You have shown how to use those scraps that are too big to toss, but not big enough to use. This will come in very handy for me! Thanks for sharing!!
I really learned and enjoyed this video. Thank you. I haven’t done a scrappy quilt yet, but saving all my fabrics. I can’t wait and love the way you put the colors together. Here in Knoxville TN
You can do it! Thanks for watching!
I would like to see how you incorporated the triangle. This is a very frugal idea and I appreciate your sharing it.
Oo I love this technique! Thank you.
Glad you like it! Thanks for letting me know and for watching.
ooh, what a great idea for the left overs from doing these covid-19 face masks! Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you like them! That's a great idea. I am collecting loads of scraps right now.
I have been doing this for year's and love the interesting results I've obtained. My scraps I start with are much smaller than what your video shows you using so I know it can be done. I generally do not use one color but prefer a very varied approach. My only size restriction is that at least the scrap must be 1/2 inch wide (or long) since with 1/4
Inch seams none of the scrap fabric would show of the piece was smaller. My seams are never as bog as that though, I make them as narrow as possible to hold together but use as small an amount in the seam allowance as possible. I've had a lot of fun using scraps and creating fabric and from the comments I've received others have been impressed as well. Just an idea to share, using as small as possible scraps that would otherwise end up in landfill s or otherwise unused. BTW any scraps that I do not use due to it being too small are utilized by going into a dedicated cotton pillowcase. When the pillowcase is full, the end is sewn together and the piece donated to an animal shelter for a good sized, very soft and comfy and washable doggie bed. No scrap to be thrown away. Reuse and recycle!
Great to know that others do this too. Thanks for watching.
Those are all so cute! Thank you for showing us how to do this technique! Until now, I've only ever seen how to sew scraps together in a sort of spiral technique, which I'm not too fond of because it reminds me of a spider web and because the pieces start small and keep getting bigger as you go around it. With your technique, I don't see a spider web pattern and they're beautiful. I love how they all turned out! I hope to try this when I have some scraps. Thank you again!! 🙂
Thanks so much. I hope you give it a try. It’s lots of fun!
Thanks, Claudia. I LOVE THIS IDEA! Since I've always hated the idea of throwing away any of my fabric scraps, I decided long ago to collect them and create large pieces of patchwork from which to cut out patterns for toys. I think fabric scraps are a creative gold mine and I LOVE what you did with your yellow scraps! :-D
Thanks so much! I love scraps too.
What an awesome idea! That they go with same color way is awesome!
Thanks so much! This really is a fun technique!
I love the yellow and white quilt top. I made a shadow quilt out of 9” scrap blocks…it gorgeous.
Thank you. I love this scrappy monochromatic look! I appreciate you watching!
My mom used to do this with the fabric left over from making our clothes, then when it was big enough it became our quilt.
i did this too, made play on quilts for my kids babies, it was fun for them to see the fabric...they couldn't believe i saved the fabric 😂they don't sew, they have no idea how much i have. i find stash sewing so relaxing
This was my first time finding you & your TH-cam channel - my second of your videos! How wonderful! I can't wait to watch more! How fun! Thank you!🤗
Welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel and I appreciate your kind comments!
Great tutorial. Thank you. ☘️🌝🌲
I really love this idea of like colours going to definitely try this
Go for it! I'm glad you liked the technique. Thanks for watching.
The bucket hats made from these would go crazy
Oh good idea! I've never made one, but might have to give it a shot! Thanks for watching!
@@CreatewithClaudia i would love those hats, they’d look so cool!
I've been using scraps to make borders. I guess I should have widened my "frankencloth" to make bigger pieces!! Thanks for sharing!!
I like your idea of using this technique for borders! Awesome! Also, kudos for "frankencloth"!
Awesome job, thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely be trying this!
That's great. It is fun to make these color blocks from scraps. Thanks for watching.
New subbie, I found you today. Lovely idea! I love recycled anything! 💎👏Bravo👏 💎 ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
Hello, I just found your channel and subscribed! This video was so cute and seems like such a fun project. It was also very thorough and I appreciate that. I also checked out your website and read about your mystery quilt along starting next year. I am excited for that and plan to join in!
I love this! Thank you for sharing
I've made a quilt using my scraps in the last month. Just made squares until I had enough.
Thank you, Claudia, for sharing this idea. 🙏🥰💕It's great! I will be using it for sure.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you liked the video and thanks for watching!
@@CreatewithClaudia You are very generous! 🤗🌻
Loved the tutorial. Lots of ideas for my mtns of scraps. Also, thank you for simple explanations. My TH-cam pet peeves are videos by presenters who think they are auditioning for a Hollywood movie. So wordy, so chatty. NOT ON AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO! Just demonstrate, clearly and minimally speak, which you've done masterfully. We don't want to hear kids in bkgrnd, phones ringjng, the dishwasher going, age old stories interesting to nobody except the presenter, etc. My attn span for those types of videos are usually 5 seconds or less. Not exaggerating. Anyway, I've subscribed and look forward to more creative ideas. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate that.
Hi, Claudia!!! I just got a sewing machine for Christmas and I just realized that we have the same one. I have never sewn with a machine before, could you do a tutorial??? I love your videos!!!!!
Wonderful! That's exciting. I appreciate that you like my videos. My sewing machine knowledge is not that detailed so I don't think I'd be able to do a tutorial, but thanks for asking!
Great! It looks relaxing - no stress, lol!
It really is! Every once in a while, when my scrap bins are overflowing, I'll make some of this.
Create with Claudia I think I’ll work on some this to sort of warm up to using my sewing machine again.
I love to make fabric from scraps! My quilt buddies think I'm crazy.😜
Me too! Every piece ends up looking different which I love. Thanks for watching!
I have been doing this too but never knew what to do with the result. I love the yellow quilt top. I have made bowl cozies and tea cozies so far.
Great video! Thanks.
How about making a happicoat? Similar to a kimono, but jacket length. Or an apron?
I admire folks like you who have the skill and patience to create quilts.
I use the same method but to make American Doll Girl clothes!
Beautiful work
Beautiful work. Thank you for your video. I will like to see you putting one together where you use a triangle or odd shapes and fit them together. Thank you in advance
There's a crafter who sews ALL her scraps together. Unfortunately I can't think of her name right now and was going to google her when this video ends.
Her name is Darlene Michaud.
@@wandasway6882 Hi. Thank you for the information. She's very creative. In the meantime I also put my strip of scraps together and have sewn several pair of slippers. I love it
this is awesome!! thanks for showing your technique!
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Terrific idea!
Love this idea. So pretty.
Thanks!
how to make use of all the extra fabric pieces lying around & easy : no patterns, no hard rules, just keep sewing on blocks after blocks after blocks ..... one day I will try this. I luv the kitty.
VERY NICE! Thanks for sharing :)
Great video, thank you!
I do this alot but I start with a 1 piece & just keep adding. I m going to make a 1 of a kind summer top with my next scrappy fabric block.
Did you finish it? I would love to see it. Thank you
@@leticianedilskyj7060 I made a bag for my music but not sure how to post a photo here.
Awesome idea
I love the red one! 🥰
Thanks! This fabric is so much fun to make.
Perfect. I like the idea 👍🏻👏🏻😍
I love this! I need to do this in the worst way(I know you know what I mean)
Oh I do thus too! Hsha I used to think I was the one one until just recently lol. Except I use the fabric to make journal covers 😊💕
Have you posted any? I would love to see it
@@leticianedilskyj7060 There's a playlist on my channel called Scrap Fabric Projects, and also Journals & Handmade Books. I haven't done a tutorial though, just shown the finished journal covers. I should film the next one I make! 😊💚
Thank you very much. Good video.
Wonderful " busy " project ! Perfect for days you just need to make something, and stay busy. I have so many things backing up but no energy. This may be the cure :) What sewing machine are you using???
I just use my trusty simple old Kenmore machine.
How awesome is that!!! Love, love it!!!
Thanks so much! It's a really fun way of making some new fabric from old.
That is an awesome idea
I absolutely love this!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Love this 😀
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
New subscriber, luv this idea. Tsvmfs!!!
How fun, & so stinking pretty!🤗
Thanks so much!!!!!
I do this and make bowl covers
That's a neat use of the scrap fabric. Thanks.
Love the yellow blocks in the quilt top. Was wondering what size your blocks were, like 6” or 6” ?
I believe they were 6" finished. I'd have to go check. You could make them any size. I do have a tutorial for making that quilt here: www.createwithclaudia.com/2020/03/modern-baby-crazy-quilt-pattern/
Cool beans. Great idea. New subbie
love it! great idea and tutorial. is it okay to use different kinds of fabric together? thanks for sharing.
Yes, you just have to watch what kinds of fabric you are using. For example, if you are using a knit alongside a cotton quilting fabric, you want to stabilize the knit.
Match similar weights with similar weight, otherwise the heavyweight fabric Will Survive while the thin friable fabric will get ripped apart, it needs stabilization with fusible webbing or some such to even out the weight between the Fabrics
Actually still hanging on to some "failed patchwork" I started, never finished. It'll make great "fabric" for other uses. Got plenty of left-overs to add to it too.
Just found your video and I really love it! ❤️ I would like to use this technique for knit scraps to create fabric for garments. Do you have any ‘rules’ related to grainlines?
I don't have any rules for the grain lines although I have only done this with 100 cottons so I don't know how it would work with other fabrics. If you try it I'd love to know how it worked.
Beautiful! Thank you x
I am new to sewing, learning in my senior years. Like this idea of no waste. Could you explain why you use that little piece of fabric at the beginning of your sewing?
Thank you for watching. I sometimes use a small piece of fabric when I start sewing to help the thread go thru so it does not jam. The machine I used in this video is an older one and sometimes the first piece can get jammed. This tiny bit of extra weight helps with that.
@@CreatewithClaudia Thank you for explaining the use of the little piece of fabric. I have noticed a few times my material getting bunched up when I start, your idea will certainly help with this. I will enjoy continuing to watch and learn from your channel
