I knew my hoarding tendencies would one day be rewarded. 😂 Love this. I've actually just found an old bag of scraps that I'm turning into "fancy fabric". Hope mine comes out as good as yours 🤞
Geez, that’s amazing... I think you just made my brain grow...
Amazing...never seen anything like this...that was quite a treat for the eyes...thank you!
What an incredible idea! After watching this I went over to my trash bin by my cutting table and pulled out all the scraps! When you added the printed sentiments, that when it popped in my mind! I'm thinking journal covers! Thank you so much for sharing! Really really cool! :)
Thanks for watching! Happy New Years! Julia
REMARKABLE!!!!!😍@@stitchesbyjulia
Magnificent use of scraps and incredible showing at the end of all the uses from this piece. Great tutorial. 🎉❤🎉❤😊
Thank you so much!
I used some dried daisies I picked from my garden and added those into my piece, taking care to sew around them
Hi Diana, what a great idea- I will have to try this! Julia
Awesome idea.
I would love to see a photo of that sounds great do you know what you do with the salty paper does it Dissolve in the hot water or do you peel it off before you put it in the water I’m really confused about that clear so the paper you so on I don’t know what to do with it and where do you buy it??
Julia, I never tire of watching your videos. You are so amazing! Thank you for encouraging me to try new projects!
Love, love, love this information. I have had the idea of making my own fabric from all my bits and pieces, but unable to come up with an effective means that I was happy with. I found people glueing layers of fabric and paper together, but it is not functional to wear or work with after the fact. Now I want to find some nice old fashion lace/trim to add to what I have, and start creating. Thank you so much for sharing this skill set with me. Guess I will get some practice at sewing with the feed dogs down. I will have to check and see if you have tips on that also. You made my day!
Hi Monica, I am uploading another video this week on this technique only using a tulle or netting on the top layer. I am getting some really cool effects. Free motion stitching will open a whole new world for you. It is so fun and addicting:)
@@stitchesbyjulia Can you post the link to the video you mention here?
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! I can’t wait to try it! I thought the finished product was great but the things you made with it were just awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos.
Thank you so much Julia for your generosity! I'm so blessed to have found your channel. And on this video, love how you've saved the best for last!!
That came out nice. You gave scraps a whole new life.
I was totally intimidated by this process, UNTIL I watched your video. Such good clear instructions, and fabulous finished pieces. Thank you SO much for sharing this info!
This was so fun! My friend sews and I make junk journals. We joined forces and made embellishments for my junk journals out of her fabric scraps! Was so great! Thank you!
i love making junk journals too! What a fun thing to do with your friend! Thanks for watching! Julia
Очень понравилось видео))), если можно напишите мне: сверху эту пиццу накрывали водорастворимым флизелином, а потом прострочили, или это была органза, или фатин?
What fun! Thank you for the sewing thrill ride.
From trash to treasure! I love videos like this. Super inspiring. (You could do an entire video just to showcase those gorgeous projects at the end!!)
I love what you do with the fabric after!! Love!!
This is a terrific step up from what I have been doing, making my fabrics from scraps, and I really like the effect using the patterned fabric for the background! Thank you for the tip sorting them I am going to do that, also. Great video, Julia, as always you give me something to look forward to. Thank you.
Great job! You came up with some beautiful ideas to use your new fabric!! I love the pillow and the other projects!! Thanks for sharing!
Loved,loved your projects just found you and your creativity is what I've been looking for, I'm the scrap horder lol now I know one way to down size some of the totes. You have the best day ever
You're so inspirational to watch. I love learning from your videos! Thank you!
Thanks so much for inspiring me. I made a box out of my scraps. I just cut squares sewed them together with a zig zag stitch and found a tassel and a button for the fastening . It’s rigid enough to stand up
Hi- what a great idea! I love all the details that this technique gives. It looks time consuming and hard but it's really easy. My kind of project! Thanks for watching.
Супер!Хотелось конечно перевод на русском!Ну да ладно и за это МК мерси большое!💞
Yes, it must be very difficult to work “underneath” her sewing machine. 🤣😂
Lovely project ...I have tons of scraps so I must try this ...for the life of me I cannot understand why you have 293 thumbs down...they must be mad ...and how rude ....if you don't like this stuff...don't watch it.
Many thanks for sharing this Julia...a great tutorial.
Gilly wife of Mark in Norfolk UK
you don't know if you like something *until* you watch it!
I'm brasilian and don't understand english very well, but your explanation is so good and you speech is clear and nice that I can understand everything you say !! It's marvelous.I love your videos and your creations !! I' m your fan....thank you very much, you inspire me a lot !! Xoxo
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. Happy sewing! Julia
Your English writing is excellent. It's great to be bilingual.
Please direct me how would one attach this beautiful work of art as an embellishment on a garment
Oh those projects at the end are awesome! 😍 I think I’m gonna have me a fabric / thread / yarn / bits of everything scrap attack! So inspired!
Thank you so much for watching! I am so glad you enjoyed it! Julia
Fun! A textile version of pouring paint on a canvas. I look forward to seeing what you use the fabric for.
I love what you ended up with but not what you did with it. A colorful pillow or potholder would be more useful.
Julia, love your videos, i was wondering if I can private message you. Thank you. 😊
I learned so many new things Julia....thank you!
Hi Julia, I very new to sewing, I loved this piece, Thank you. One Question, What is solvie and does it wash off? Have you printed the words onto a special paper and if not, How does it survive the washing?. Intrigued. Best wishes, Julie x
I love this technique. Great way to use old stuff to make something new. I love to create & recycle anything & everything lol. TFS sweetie!! Toodles
Thanks. I found this video very helpfull. I had never tried free motion quilting before. I made some mistakes, but I was able to fix them in some way. Never used sulvy before either. Lol
The new crazy quilting! I love your projects, very creative!
Love your work very exciting! I’m creative although this media is new to me. What top film would I buy to keep the project in place the fine top you use. I’m from Scotland would you know what I should look for here,the weight etc. Thanks keep creating! Very inspired!! 🙂
Hi Debbie, I am using a water soluble stabilizer. It is translucent and I use the light weight. It can be purchased at most quilt stores and sewing machine shops. Hope this helps, I use it a lot in my sewing. Julia
Hi Julia, love your videos and Etsy store. I was wondering if scrap fabric creations sell well on Etsy or craft fairs? I am considering making winter scarves for my granddaughters and maybe make a little money on the side. Thank you in advance..
Hi, My scrap fabric project sell well at my summer shop and on Etsy. I love the scrappy look and many are excited to see things reused or used in a different way. Good luck and have fun! Julia
Hi Julia, you are an inspiring artist. I have scads-4 laundry baskets FULL of vintage hand stitched doilies, table cloths, dresser scarves etc. I haven't known what on earth to do w/them. All that work my great grandmother did. I have donated some. I will try this method, I do make quilts, pillows, clothes & cards. Do you find that this process will ravel later if washed on a quilt say? I'd hate to give as a gift then have issues. I'll have bits of lace & embroidered pieces for decades LOL
Hi, Thank you so much for watching. I would not use this technique on anything with repeated washing. Lots of raw edges involved. Have fun with all those vintage linens- you are lucky to have them! Julia
I have a few questions…but first I love how you created that. So once you put it in hot water and then wash with the solvee, does the solvee disintegrate? I never heard of that product before but it is very cool! Thanks for showing me.
Hi, Yes it completely dissolves in water. I use the "Solvy" brand but they are other brands of water soluble stabilizers. Thanks for watching, Julia
Thank you for sharing your tecniques. It's sp nice. I'm very new for sewing. Please can you tell me what the transparent sheet call and what the foot with spring call and Where can you buy them please?
Hi, it is a water soluble stabilizer. The one that I am using is called Solvey and the brand it Sulky. There are other brands. You can buy it on Amazon or most fabric stores. Thanks for watching. Julia
I cannot understand the word u use for the paper you put on top of everything! I want to buy it and cant find it. Can anyone tell me? Thanks!
It is a called Solvy by Sulky. It is a water soluble stabilizer. Here is an Amazon link: amzn.to/3a4EhQx
Wow! I love this video. So many ideas are running through my mind right now... Thank you Julia.
Thanks so much for watching! This is a fun technique and a great way to use scraps. Happy stitching! Julia
Love this sooooo LOVELY!! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
Adorei Brasil Rio de Janeiro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍
If you were to try this technique to use for fabric for a structured bodice do you think you would need to lay the scraps down following the grain?
Hi, I think as long as the base fabric is on grain it should work. Great idea! Julia
This would make great insets for a repurposed jean jacket. I now have an excuse to buy more fabrics 😂
Great idea!
my first showing machine was a little Elna...smaller than yours, I still have it, i was 11 when my mum bought me it as a christmas present, it can only sew light material now, the motor is on its way out, and my model was discontinued many years ago so unless i find a motor on ebay it will never get repaired again.
Hi Libby, I wish I had my first sewing machine! Thanks for sharing your story. Happy creating, Julia
Love the idea of being able to sew in all directions. I'm new to having and using a sewing machine. Going to make sure i save all my little scraps as there seems to be many ways to use them up
I hope you give this a try. It's a fun technique!
Nice. Talking less and fast video welcome.
would it be possible to make a video on how you made the cuff?
This was really fun! Great ideas! Thank you!
Which stamp did you use for the words please?
if i don’t have the water soluble stabilizer, can i change it to organza or tulle?? is the result can be different??
Yes- a tulle works great. It will remain part of your fabric whereas the water soluble stabilizer is washed away. I’ve used the tulle in many projects.
Dang, you can "go cat go" with that sewing machine
Thank you so much! What is the name of the type of foot you put on your sewing machine again for this technique? Thank you! Lynn
Hi Lynn, I am using a free-motion quilting foot or a darning foot. Some sewing machines come with this foot. If you do not have one, I suggest talking to a sewing machine dealer to get the correct one for your machine. I hope you try free-motion stitching. It's really fun and addicting!
Hope you will share how you use this project.
Some of my scraps are wool and upholstery. Would you still put them in the washer and dryer to get the water soluble off?
Hi Heather, I think I would still put it in the washer and dryer. I think you might have some interesting results with lots of texture. I would give it a try. Thanks for watching, Julia
So beautiful. I just want to know, what could be a good alternative for the soluble paper thingy. I dont think there's available from where i am. Thanks
I'm not sure it there is an alternative. I use the Solvy brand but any water soluble stabilizer would work. It completely dissolves in water. Another thing that I have used in place of the Solvy, is a sheer net or toile. Hope this helps, Julia
Wait so what kind of fabric for the base, like thick or thin, natural or synthetic etc??
I used a cotton quilting fabric for this project.
Hola no sé de dónde estás mandando tu vídeo lo estoy viendo hoy porque claro con esto del coronavirus uno mete mano a lo que vea me encanta lo que haces lo que pasa que no entiendo inglés soy española y vivo en las Islas Canarias en Tenerife pero claro lo veo sé hacerlo pero no sé lo que tú le pones si un plástico es una tela de nylon o es un no sé una tela finita es muy bonito ya y yo hice una vez uno pero me costó porque lo que le puse fue un como la tela del cancán bueno buenas tardes muchas gracias y a ver si salimos de esto para adelante si ves el whatsapp claro buenas tardes
Hi, The fabric I use to cover over the bits of fabric, is a water soluble stabilizer. It dissolves in water. I am using one my Sulky. It is called "Solvy" by Sulky. If this is unavailable in your country, you can also use a netting or tulle to cover the top before stitching. I really like the look of the net and it helps keep everything in place. Thanks for watching! Julia
My Singer machine does not have anything to disengage the teeth but has a cover to hide them. Will that work? I am too eager to try this beautiful thing
Hi, Yes the cover over the feed dogs should work. Some machines have the cover instead of a lever. Let me know how it goes. Julia
I am not sure at the end what do you do with the Saudi do you peel it off or does it dissolve when you put it in the hot water I really need to know the answer to this anyone who knows??? Thanks
Hi, the solvy dissolves in water. I use warm water and completely submerge it.
Oh my quilt blocks ! That’s what I see with this technique. Thank you so very very much for this video, your so creative.
Excellent video. Thank you.
What a nice hand bag that would make.Thanks for the idea.
Yes. That's what I thought it might become. Would still be pretty with clear vinyl sewed over for strength and washability.
А я из такой заготовки просто сумочку сшила.
Great stuff. And as always ennn-joy.
Do you have to use heat n bond behind all the fabric pieces you use or did some of your pieces just happen to have it on?
Hi, some of my scraps just happen to have heat-n-bond on the back from another project. I do a lot of appliqué and save my scraps. Thanks for watching! Julia
Interesting, love your work.
I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO. I LOVE YOUR PIECE AND PROCESS. THANK YOU .
They say never throw anything with the SOLVY into the washing machine, it will end up stopping up your hoses. That's what I heard.
Yes- it's really sticky and gooey. I always soak it in a sink until most of it dissolves, then wash. Thanks for the tip, I will make my instructions clearer. Julia
stitchesbyjulia I can't get it off just steaming it. I hate WSS
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! Thank you so much for this. I was going to toss the scraps, but now I am saving them. That a great idea!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
What is the above piece of cloth called??
Thank you for the help!! Marsha
Hi, can you pls tell me what is that sheet ur putting on top??? And where to get it from
Hi, it is a water soluble stabilizer. I am using Solvy by the brand Sulky in this video but there are other brands that make it. I found mine on Amazon. You can also find it at most sewing machine dealers. It is often sold for embroidery machines. Hope this helps, Julia
I love what you've done with this. Beautiful. :)
So awesome! Thank you for all the detailed explaining...it helps my brain when I get all the details.
It's a beautiful and unique work you do!! thank you for sharing 👍👍
Hi, thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video- happy sewing. Julia
What an artist you are!
Sulky stabilizer gottcha😸
Be frugal thank you marsha
do you need to use a embroidery foot for this or would a regular foot work?
Hi, Yes regular stitching would work too. Add a lot of stitching to keep everything in place. If you have decorative stitches on your machine, use those too. Thanks for watching, Julia
I am so happy I found your channel. Thank you for sharing this is beautiful!!
Hi Iris, thanks for your kind words! So glad you liked the video. Julia
What fun! I could see using as cuffs on a woman’s denim shirt.
Hi Lisa, Great idea!
Loved your video and the diversity in how you used the fabric you created. Nice camera footage that showed exactly what you were doing. Thank you so much.
What do you do with your new fabric?
Hi, I mainly use the new fabric for embellishments on clothing, pillows or wall hangings. I make jewelry with it also. I do show some pictures at the end of the video. Thanks for watching. Julia
Check out the very end of the video! A lot of beautiful items!
Please show after washing
So many great ideas to use the " new fabric "
Can you please write the name of the clear material that you used on top? I couldn't understand what you said. Love this!
Hi, it’s called Solvy. It is made by Sulky.
@@stitchesbyjulia Thank you so much!
I love this so much I subscribed to your channel.
Yay! Thank you for subbing!
So creative! It’s beautiful!
A good job but had to fast forwards lot, talking too much
Thanks so much for watching! Julia
As a beginner, I appreciate a thorough tutorial. Thank you, Julia.
Oh my gosh you are awesome 😎
Have you ever used a felting machine for this?
Hi, I use a felting machine when I’m using rovings, felts and yarns but not on cotton fabrics.
Loved this technique. What was the clear sheet she put on the fabric?
Hi, It is called Solvy and is made by Sulky. Thanks for watching, Julia
Beautiful creations (and nails)!
Love the last one! Circles and black and white.!! Ty
