    Another Incredible Clever Video with lovely music! Such wonderful ideas. I was taught how to make "rag rugs" using your Coaster method as a child. No Scrap Left Behind!

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤ the coaster ….. that’s going to be my next project ! I was in a fabric shop recently and asked the owner what she did with all her long strips, and she had a big bin behind the counter… She offered me a big plastic bag of them which I enthusiastically took so all your ideas will help me use them up… I had plaited some of them together and made a ball of plaited ribbon to use on gifts❤

    I loved all of your ideas for using scraps. I really needed a calming and relaxing video today so your video really was a life saver!! I think I will go back and watch several of your previous ones that I have already watched before - they always bring me joy. So thank you so much for “saving the day”!! Hugs and blessings to you each day………………….

    My grandma taught me how to crochet potholders and coasters! I still have a few of them left that she made. It’s been 20 years since she passed. This remind me to make them for my kids when they move out. Start a family tradition she started.

    Very cute little projects. Thanks for the idea. I would sew my strips of fabric together instead of knitting them for the yarn. I would keep on crocheting around to make a rug instead of coasters. I’m going to give it a try at least. Ha! Thanks for a cute video.

    I love your ideas! I am currently making several of your patterns as a sewing kit for epp. Needle Book is done, I am working on the basket to hold it all. Scissors case, sewing case and pincushion to go yet. I don't have Liberty here in the US. You can order it but the price is prohibitive for me. I am getting much the same look as yours by useing what we call calico here. Those are tiny all over flower prints.

      I love Calico fabrics! They are so sweet. I love anything with tiny florals. I totally understand about the cost of liberty, I didn’t have any until a few years ago. I buy the smallest pieces I can and I often buy scrap packs which can be more cost effective. I even had lovely friends who gave me their scraps which was so kind. Thanks so much for watching
