This quilt idea reminded of a friend whose Mom made clothes for her all the years she was growing up and saved pieces from each outfit in her cedar chest. When my friend was expecting her first child, her Mom got out the scraps and pieced a crib quilt for the new baby. It was exciting to see when she unwrapped the quilt and remembered so many of the pieces, the Easter dress, the dress for Grandma's birthday party etc. What a wonderful trip down memory lane that was for both of them. Just an idea for some of your young dress makers out there.
I love this idea, and while I make clothes for myself now, I dream of making dresses for my future daughters. This is a wonderful idea, and I hope to be able to do this one day
Yours are one level above mine, which are on the floor. It was so I could get a better look at them to pick out colours that would work for a patchwork project.
@@sybillestahl8646 if it helps, I like to use scrap pieces of cardboard to tack all of the fabric. you can use any old cardboard, from pieces of cereal boxes cut to size or old toilet paper rolls. i fold the fabric around it so it is square or rectangular, and then pin it there. it's a nice way to spend an afternoon if you are at home and have nowhere to be, I like to sit in the sunshine and do it. you can also tie together these tacked rolls of fabric with some string if you want to keep certain colours together
Steph Krunic. The best ways to get good hexagons is to use a paper base so they are the same uniform shape. But that's hand sewing and so so painful. But just look at 'English Paper Piecing' if you need instructions.
I love it so much that you tell us the centimeter AND inches ! As a German we only use centimeters. I always have to Google what inch length is in cm. I don't know but this makes me so happy! Thank you 🌼🌼
I'm currently stuck at home during the quarantine in Italy. I had scheduled my first sewing lesson next Saturday but it got canceled since every non essential activity is being shut down, so I'm kinda sad and looking for cute sewing projects to do with what I currently have. I already made a couple of comfy sweaters. I will try some of these as well!
I’m so sorry to hear that Serena, hopefully they will reschedule your lesson when all this craziness is over! Lovely to hear you’re using the time to make yourself some nice things. Stay safe! Xx
Serena I’m not an expert but I’ve been making some dresses lately. When I first started I made aprons and placemats. 25 years later I’m still using them. I’ve reclaimed an apron that I made as gift to my sister over 20 years ago.
So cool! Particularly love the last one. It's like "Still not sure what to do with your scraps? Make them someone else's problem!!" in the most positive and helpful way :)
Your scrap fabric collection is so aesthetic! I look at my pile and it feels so lackluster. I'm still super excited to try the scrunchie and quilting with what I do have though!
@@sedmihradska It's ok if your scraps are smaller! You may just need to cut smaller hexagons. :) My scraps are always super irregular and small as well - but I'm keen to give these tutorials a try.
Awesome. My scraps are mushed in bags and the bags are piled in a corner. But, after watching your videos, your order and method, I feel it's possible to change my ways. Thanks for another great video.
Watching you sewing made me realise how poor my sewing skills are.... watching you ironing makes me realise how poor my ironing skills are.... 😳😅 Yeahhhhhh !!! I’d better start playing tennis.. please don’t ever make any video where you play tennis please Thanks I love the scrunches by the way You’re great 👍🏼
I'm a beginner sewer and I'm so grateful for your videos! Thanks for sharing these little projects, will have them saved if I have to self isolate! Or even if I don't, they'd be an ideal way to spend an afternoon! Hope you are keeping safe, well, and healthy x
Great ideas to help keep our crafty hands busy while we have to kinda stay home etc! I have a hexie little ruler guy ,you've inspired me to pull him out and give him a go . Always fun to watch as always Janell . Stay healthy 😊
I love your contrasting pockets! I have a couple of garments that could do with pockets so will give this a try. Thank you! Also, I'm so happy to see someone use pins the way I do. So many You Tube clips drive me crazy when I see pins inserted along a stitching line instead of adjacent to it so you can just keep sewing :-)
I'm making a braided scrap rug! So far it is 4 ft in diameter and it looks so fun. I included a few old pieces of clothes that aren't really worth wearing. I recommend it! It's great to do in your yard if it's nice out. I just sit outside and braid. There's definitely time to get started on a longer project like that!
What lovely ideas I just shared my first sewing project on my channel so I don’t have much scrap fabric yet but I love the idea of using these bits instead of letting them go to waste xx
You right don’t feel like shopping like fabric at the moment . Online isn’t the same I brought what I really needed but it was just a solid colour to finish a project .
English paper piecing technique is much easier for hexagon quilts, in my opinion, and it's very meditative and calming at a time like this! The extra supplies you need are very limited as well. You can buy precut paper pieces or a hexagon punch to make them yourself.
i love the idea of the hexagon quilt! I would hand sew it because I currently done have a sewing machine :( So it would take longer, but wish me luck hahaha
My scraps are way tinier because I hate throwing them away!! But some of these are still useful ideas. And masks have actually been perfect for the larger pieces.
I think it works best when you have a lot of leftover fabric from a big project, say, a dress. So you already have a dress of this pattern, and a napkin, and some quilt pieces, and a doll's outfit, and you STILL have some scraps left. And this is when they should go to a new home :D Happens to me all the time, thankfully I have a couple of friends in the doll collecting community who gladly accept my scraps and exchange theirs. Otherwise I'd have all my apartment covered in blue velvet after this particular cosplay dress.
When fabric scraps are not big enough...sew them together to make new fabric. Then make the things you want out of that. This is what some clothing designers do to salvage scraps. Complimentary fabrics look great and random fabrics make unexpected surprises. Explore.

Brilliant !
That is so cute! Such a great idea!❤️
My grandmother was a seamstress and she used to make matching clothes for me and my dolls.
can we just apreciate, how damn ORGANISED her scraps are?? Mine are just chaos in a box 😅😅

That's so true!!!
Loll same
brainstormed person hahaha! Me too!
The ideas for a hexagon "memory quilt" from your project scraps is wonderfully sentimental. Xoxox
The gift of fabric is a lovely idea too.
Thank you 🧡

Ciao! I'm also from Italy and I'm getting into sewing during this quarantine. I find these videos really helpful!
Her Serena! I recently taught myself how to sew using classes on MyBluPrint.com! I recommend it!
How long have you been quarantined....are you going stir crazy
I love the contrasting pockets!
😄🧡

It’s probably because I’m always drawn to the same colour palette when I’m fabric shopping 🙄😂 Have fun using your scraps!
Gonna try a denim scrunchie..i love scunchies😊
Love the pocket project. Looking at a dress right now and thinking hmmmm🤔. And definitely have to make the scrunchies!
Thanks Janelle!
Yay have fun making these projects for yourself 😄💕
that yellow floral fabric is GORGEOUS im obsessed
Another couple great projects: beeswax wraps, bandanas, and stuffing (cutting the scraps into little pieces to use instead of polyfill)!
I imagine scrap fabric to look very different from whole neat squares and stuff
She said cut your large spare fabric into squares. So they didnt originally look like this.
@@Irrelevxnt still, my scrap fabric looks different, it is much smaller
@@sedmihradska It's ok if your scraps are smaller! You may just need to cut smaller hexagons. :) My scraps are always super irregular and small as well - but I'm keen to give these tutorials a try.
@@VintageIndi much MUCH smaller...
Azurana oh stop trying to argue.
Awesome. My scraps are mushed in bags and the bags are piled in a corner. But, after watching your videos, your order and method, I feel it's possible to change my ways. Thanks for another great video.
Perfect timing. Making coasters and mousepads today 😊
That scrap fabric bundle would be a dream gift 😍
Watching you sewing made me realise how poor my sewing skills are.... watching you ironing makes me realise how poor my ironing skills are.... 😳😅
Yeahhhhhh !!! I’d better start playing tennis.. please don’t ever make any video where you play tennis please
Thanks
I love the scrunches by the way
You’re great 👍🏼
Hahaha trust me, this is all I’m good at 😂😂
I LOVE THIS COMMENT SO MUCH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW 😂

I'm a beginner sewer and I'm so grateful for your videos! Thanks for sharing these little projects, will have them saved if I have to self isolate! Or even if I don't, they'd be an ideal way to spend an afternoon! Hope you are keeping safe, well, and healthy x
So true! Have fun making them 😊💕

I have wanted to learn to sew scrunchies great info
Great ideas to help keep our crafty hands busy while we have to kinda stay home etc! I have a hexie little ruler guy ,you've inspired me to pull him out and give him a go . Always fun to watch as always Janell . Stay healthy 😊

I always make scrunchies with my scraps so it’s nice to see something new to try
Oh the contrasting pockets! I think I have some shorts to tear apart and put pockets in them!
Yay do it 😍
I love your contrasting pockets! I have a couple of garments that could do with pockets so will give this a try. Thank you!

I have been making scrunchies wrong! Well, not wrong just different. But your method looks easier and more polished. I’m going to try your method! ❤️
Such good ideas now that people have to stay in!
You right don’t feel like shopping like fabric at the moment . Online isn’t the same I brought what I really needed but it was just a solid colour to finish a project .
I appreciate you in your video’s giving meserments in cm and in
No time like this to destash! Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome 😊

Loved this video Janelle. Stay well!
You too! 😘

Perfect been staying in because of the coronavirus so I will be sewing a lot!
Good idea so stay inside and sew 😊
Such a great bunch of ideas, I can’t wait to try these out! Thanks Janelle 😌
You’re welcome 😄🧡
In other news, I didn't have vlisofix conveniently lying around my house, but spray-on adhesive worked a charm!
Good to know 😄
I really like your scrunchie video. I got a book on how to do it. But your video is a lot simpler than book! :)
Thank you 🧡
i love these ideas! i mostly buy fabric from used art supply stores, so I do a lot of small scrap projects :)
Yay glad you found the video helpful 😄
English paper piecing technique is much easier for hexagon quilts, in my opinion, and it's very meditative and calming at a time like this! The extra supplies you need are very limited as well. You can buy precut paper pieces or a hexagon punch to make them yourself.
i love the idea of the hexagon quilt! I would hand sew it because I currently done have a sewing machine :( So it would take longer, but wish me luck hahaha
A lot of people prefer to hand stitch hexagon quilts as the end result is a lot neater! Good luck, you will have a beautiful quilt at the end 🧡
My scraps are way tinier because I hate throwing them away!! But some of these are still useful ideas. And masks have actually been perfect for the larger pieces.
super cute definitely trying :)
Loved all these ideas 😍 great video lovely x
Thank you 😘
it was bussin Janelle
Your fabrics are so beautiful!!! How do you pick fabrics and colors to go together???
The last one is literally just "Don't want your scraps? Make them someone else's problem!"
No hate, though. This video is adorable.
M Chang honestly I’d be happy to receive such aesthetic fabrics aha
I think it works best when you have a lot of leftover fabric from a big project, say, a dress. So you already have a dress of this pattern, and a napkin, and some quilt pieces, and a doll's outfit, and you STILL have some scraps left. And this is when they should go to a new home :D

I make my scrunching different but I will definitely try this method!
queen these are so cute...thank u!
You’re welcome! 😄🧡
Can we just talk about how cute that outfit is 😅
I just Really Adore this way of making scrunchies
Really love this! 😍
Thanks just today i need this motivation ! !!!!!!😉😆☺
I would like to see a tutorial on how to make some clothes 😻like from scratch
There are heaps up on my channel already, and I’m always working on more 😍
Scraps oh my goodness piles n piles of those lol lol ty for sharring (smiles)

Thank you so much that you instead of just give the measurements in inches also
Great video, great ideas tfs
Luv ur channel! Subscribed.🤗🤗💖✨😘💙

"h-how can i have usable scraps??"

All of my scrap fabric look so bad next to each other, yet yours match 😂
Haha I had a lot to choose from! That helps!! 🙈
