The netting over the basket fabric changed the whole look of all the scraps. They now appear to be a fabric collection and are very cohesive. Nice job.!!
I really like this idea. Some days all you want to do is use those little pieces of fabric you love to make something fun and useful!! Thanks for a great idea.
I absolutely love this and you make it look so easy! I have a quilting friend that always throws away tons of scraps and it drives me nuts! I’m going to go steal her trash basket and try this to make her a gift basket of her own fabric!😂
I like to add a small loop along one edge somewhere so I can hang them up on a board using hooks, or magnets. These can be filled with all kinds of sewing goodies that we like to keep handy, clips, snips, threads, bobbins, etc. I love what you did here. Basically you made new fabric. That’s where my journey into quilting started. I made scrap squares from my daughters dresses I made her back in the early 80’s, and the. Sewed my squares together in patterns, cut them again, sewed them again, and keep going until I had formed new fabric. I tie quilted this one
hi! I did regret not making a loop too, it would look so cute hanging from my tool board! And you guys are always able to read my mind, because I've just made a new video about creating yardage from scraps heheheh. I just love that we're all so in synch around here 😍
I usually save my tiniest of scraps for stuffing projects, but this is an awesome idea for scraps too big for that but too small for anything else! I love it! I think your basket turned out beautifully!
You could use Solvy water soluble stabilizer, then soak after sewing all the lines to hold the scraps together. The Solvy melts away in water and you have a vibrant piece of quilted scraps ready to use.
I've never tried that. It completely dissolves? So the ends of the fabrics may end up sticking out? Or does it keep a layer over it even after dissolving?
@@seweasybysandy Put the water soluble stabilizer on top of the scraps and then stitch. Depending on the size of those small scraps you may have to stitch/quilt a smaller pattern. After stitching rinse the piece in warm water and allow to dry. I use that method to make a thread bowl.
I Thank you for this GREAT idea. I have lots of scraps and I'm going to make some of these for a Garage sale I'm having when the weather is good. ❤Sandy you are a precious person with a very sweet spirit. I always enjoy your videos. Keep the ideas coming!!❤
I thought of using vinyl, I usually use heat n'bond but I kind of like the whole toning down of the fabrics effect. I'll probably give the vinyl a try for a later video ☺️
I love that you utilize all those scraps and find a solution to it! It sits like forever in a box, nearby my sewing machine! I'll try to do a bit of bigger stuff. Probably laundry container. Or just dump all the stash for sewing project. It is hard for me to let go of these items. I keep some of swatches that I formerly use when first getting seriously back with the hobby specially for earlier sewing projects since it bear sentimental values. Those are odd shaped as it was coming from leftover sofa cover projects and drapes.
Yes, I know waht you mean. It gets easier if you use them for something that you use a lot or that you look at frequently. There they are, finally being useful and looking gorgeous 😁
I've saved lots of really small scraps from all the various quilting/sewing projects I've made. The fabrics are all special to me, and so I can't imagine throwing them out 😢 ! This will be something VERY useful and fun to do, with very little stress involved 😀 as well. 😂❤ thanks for the ideas.
What a delightful way to use scraps to create a colorful vessel. I had fun making one and plan to make more. It is nice to replace some of the plastic containers in my craft room with a piece much more easy on the eyes. I didn’t have top fabric so I savaged some netting from my garden supplies and it worked out amazing. Have fun everyone. Quite easy and fun to boot. Thanks for the tutorial 🫶🏼
I love this! It' very beautiful! I do a lot of purse making, and I think I would leave the opening in the side of the lining (or bottom if you pieced it there). It stitches up easier and you don't have to be as particular as you do on the top edge.
Fun idea for those tiny pieces. If you use a dark color organza or mesh the colors will actually show up better. I learned this the hard way of course. Nice video, will check out more of your ideas.
Why did you put the sheer material on top? To hold the little pieces in place? I wish there was a way to not have that because your basket colors would stand out so much better!
@@dottierobbins939 hi! You don't have to, but I like the muted colors. Plus this way it was easier to sew and I didn't have to worry about any ends sticking out.
You can totally do that. You'll have a couple of scrap ends sticking out and it will be a bit harder to quilt, but totally doable. I did pot holders during Christmas like that, you can check it out in the scrap playlist
@@seweasybysandyI’ve just discovered your channel and subscribed. Love this idea. If you want to do it without the netting you can actually do special stitches on the edge or zig zag so the edges don’t fray. It’s called crazy quilting and you can do so much decorative work it’s a really big rabbit hole to go down. I am making fidget mats and this would look great as a backing. Can I request if you could do some projects with upholstery fabric as I have just got a whole heap for free I would like to use. Thank you from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
@@HereatJodstas hi, welcome! I usually do pet beds with upholstery fabric, it's the only ones that last around here heheh. Yes, you can absolutely do this without the top fabric, I just like the muted, clean look. I always love the idea of taking two things and turning them into a completely new thing. Heheh
I made a basket today with tulle as the top fabric. It was fun! I am wondering if I can make a full quilt this way and if the tulle will hold up to washing.
Guys, this is such a fun, happy project! Plus it's very useful too! Have you ever tried making one of these? Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

The netting over the basket fabric changed the whole look of all the scraps. They now appear to be a fabric collection and are very cohesive. Nice job.!!
Yes! I totally agree, it just becomes something else 😁
I suggest using black tulle or netting. Rather than reflect the white light, it allows the colors to show through the netting. Give it a try!
That will look so cool! Must kook into black material. Thank you 😀
Ohh… that sounds interesting!!!
That’s a cool idea. You could really use any color tulle that would compliment your fabrics.
Pizza! That's how we call this good method of utilizing tiny scraps. Nicely done job, Sandy!
I love that, thanks!
I like your attitude---doesn't have to be perfect. I learned that long ago.
Sandy you are a doll! I'm old enough to be your mother but I would be thrilled to spend time with you. God bless you!
Thank you so much ☺️
You could also use tulle instead of the sheer curtain fabric. I've used it before and it lets a bit more of the fabrics shine through.
Yes, it would look so lovely 😍
Or you could just not use anything and quilt it. I dont really see the point of the net other than it hides all the quilting.
I really like this idea. Some days all you want to do is use those little pieces of fabric you love to make something fun and useful!! Thanks for a great idea.
Exactly! 😁
I absolutely love this and you make it look so easy! I have a quilting friend that always throws away tons of scraps and it drives me nuts! I’m going to go steal her trash basket and try this to make her a gift basket of her own fabric!😂
Sounds like a great plan!
Make her a basket yo put her scraps in for you to rescue again 😂
Throws away scraps 😨😨😨 They can be used in projects like this or as stuffing

I'm in my 70s and just learning about quilting. What a great way to use scraps! Thank you for sharing ❤
That's awesome! It's always a great time to learn something new that makes us happy
I love to make these, I usually leave my opening in the bottom of the lining for turning. Thanks for sharing!
I've done it too, it's such a fun project!
I love this Sandy. I love the veil and what it does to the all the colors. It’s beautiful.
Hi! Thank you! I've just messaged you on Etsy with some photos of our project! I hope you love it as much as I do😀
@@seweasybysandy I will go look. Thank you. 💛
This type is fun mindless sewing. If it is wonky a fun piece it becomes. ❤
Absolutely. I've been into mindless funky sewing lately, I'm loving it 😁
I usually save my tiniest of scraps for stuffing projects, but this is an awesome idea for scraps too big for that but too small for anything else! I love it! I think your basket turned out beautifully!
Thank you. Yes, I used to do that too before I started using them this way 😊
One of the first things I learned to make were baskets! I only started sewing in 2021, and I LOVE the idea to use scraps to make a basket! Thank you!
They are so much fun to make too!
I love how cute this is what a nice use of scraps❤
Thanks so much! 😊
A very cute project. Thank you.
This is a great idea! I even pulled out some scraps from my sewing room trash basket to use in this project. I’m looking forward to making these.
That's awesome! My work here is done hehehe. Let me know how it went and have fun! 😀
This reminds me of, apart from the 1960s. The possibilities are endless. Thank.
Great project for small scraps. Happy pasquetta.
Thank you! You too!😀

Yes! That’s what I originally thought she was doing when I saw the thumbnail
I'd had a similar idea using water soluble cross stitch fabric.
Bb long time quilter here. Your ideas are really nice. Press each step. Just press 😊😊😊😊❤
I agree! ☺️
I love your basket. I too have fabrics that are special to me. What a nice way to have them on the sewing table with me.
I can't stop looking at it 😍
I Thank you for this GREAT idea. I have lots of scraps and I'm going to make some of these for a Garage sale I'm having when the weather is good. ❤Sandy you are a precious person with a very sweet spirit. I always enjoy your videos. Keep the ideas coming!!❤

This is lovely and true scrap usage. I have done confetti quilting too covering with organza. Thanks lovely demo
This is honestly brilliant!!! What a fantastic idea!!!!!!!
I absolutely love the effect that adding the curtain creates! Definitely have to do!!😁👍
Great idea for using scraps…gonna try it ❤😊
Let me know how it goes 😁
Beautiful Beautiful bag.
Thank you 🥰
I like how you folded the basket, and then boxed the corners. It cuts the bulk on the corners in half.
I make these but I use fusable vinyl after I quilt it. It doesn't dule the fabric. Love the basket!

You’re a great teacher and I appreciate your down-to-earthness. Looking forward to more videos! Much love from Canada!
Thank you 😊 how's the weather in Canada?
Great idea for all my crumbs! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.
Sandy that's such a cute project...Love it!
What a fantastic idea for all the scraps and how fun! Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing the details of what you have to do, up close.
You're welcome 😁
Thank you, it's beautiful
Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work! ❤
Thank you 🥰
I love your cute little basket. What a genius way to use your tiny scraps. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Thanks for the idea, it's beautiful. The opaque layer was smart!
Great use of fabric scraps I usually just throw away. Thanks for sharing this tutorial ❤

I feel the same way, that's why it's so wonderful to put them to good use 😃
Too gorgeous for words! I will definitely try it myself. You really make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing! 🏆❤️🌹❤️🏆
Great! Give it a try and let me know how it went 😀
Nice. I would use a regular, full-sized iron or maybe even try a Cricut Easy Press, which has a larger, flat heating surface.
Cute project.
I have a ton of 1 inch square scraps that I've been agonizing over using, but you make it look so simple! I think I have to try it! 😊
Give it a go! It's so much fun!
Such a cute project. Great idea with the sheer fabric.
Thank you

That's on my to do list for sure, can't wait to see the big contrasts 😁
Love this. A definite try. ❤
Love your accent.
Thank you 😊
Please explain the interfacing, batting - iron on scraps, tear out???place on?
9:02 lay your turning opening into the linning, than it´s not tricky to close.
thanks!
I’ve seen a few comments recommending black netting but I rather like the white- it made it pastel!
I'm definitely trying the black soon 😁
So cute!!! I like you idea!
thank you.
What is the material that you sewed over the fabric square that you made from scraps?
It's an old sheer curtain I had. Any kind of sheer material or net will do the trick
Why did you put the sheer material on top? To hold the little pieces in place? I wish there was a way to not have that because your basket colors would stand out so much better!
@@dottierobbins939 hi! You don't have to, but I like the muted colors. Plus this way it was easier to sew and I didn't have to worry about any ends sticking out.
Beautiful work
You are a genius ❤
Beautiful

I love it! Thank you for this idea!
Really cute and great idea!
Cute iron!!
that was very cool im inspired thank you for sharing
My pleasure
@@seweasybysandy you are 1 of my top 2 and moving up because you took the time to respond thanks again im going to check out more of your videos
@@TheresaDaigle-v7i talking to you guys is one of my favourite parts of doing this 😀
Beautiful and unique project,I must try it.what if I want to make handles for carrying
You do it exactly the same way, create the fabric for the strips and then sew them.
So cute ❤
Thank you
Love this video. On point. Thank you
Thank you ☺️
Very nice project 😊❤
Thank you
Love it
Interesting &good thx
Beautiful idea❤
How cute!!
Very cute. The idea to cover with organza is great. I will definitely sew it. !!!Greetings from Hamburg/Germany (and sorry for my english 🥴)
Danke! Your English is great, better than my German, that's for sure, and I studied it for 7 years or so 😂
Loved this idea. Going to try sewing down scraps without netting, see what happens 😝

I think so, tule os pretty sturdy and if you quilt it carefully I don't see why not!
Too cute!!
Thank you 😊
So cute. I do wonder why you covered the fabric with netting though?
Thank you! Just to make sure there are no ends poking out. Also, there's a fading of all the crazy colors that I like 😁
@@seweasybysandy what is that netting? It’s not listed in your description of items needed.
@@sewsarajo884 it's old curtain, any kind of sheer, net like fabric
