Thank you so much!! 🤍 Hahaha good question! I always save my small scraps in a bag over a few weeks and then give them to recycling. Some clothes shops take them in to make more fabric out of them again :)
in the Netherlands they have collection bins for clothing and fabric (and clean shoes I think?). They donate all the still usable pieces and use the other things for things like chair stuffing
I want more of this! In historical sewing this is called piecing, it used to be way more common because fabric was like stupid expensive back in the day 😂
I have kind of stopped posting but I do patchwork all the time, so might have a another video or two soon! 😃 How interesting! "Piecing" makes more sense too
Oh that’s a great idea! I am so doing that! I have some flannel scraps from pajamas I made for three people at Christmas time. I was wondering what to do with them. New pajama bottoms here I come! Thanks so much 🦋
Love the result! I'm saving all my scraps but upcycling them in such a nice way looks so hard and time consuming, I wonder if I'll ever get anything out of them lol
Pro tip: make the scraps in a way that “puzzle pieces” into the flats needed to sew the pants, and you automatically have less scraps and save time. Also: another way to reduce waste is to”zero waste” sewing patterns, or to do things that are made of simple triangles and rectangles only. It’s why a LOT of historical clothing is actually very simple, patter piece wise. It makes the waste virtually nonexistent and it’s easier for the average person to make.
@@recreatefulchannel fair, everyone has different aesthetics and stuff. I use a LOT of batik and calico, so I keep my scraps sorted by color and pattern “category” (florals, tie die, geometric, stripes, etc) and make patchwork stuff like harem pants and omiyage bags with them.
@@recreatefulchannel bc to the flared bottom they really give me the 70s vibe and I really think u should do more silhouettes from that era cause u do look like u belong in it too😅
I did something like this not that long ago were I made a table runner with denim and a red cotton cloth, and it took me 12 hours to do it took a lot of work but was worth it
I love the result but ngl when people say "scraps" and when i say scraps we dont mean the same XD I would never have enough material, as most of my scraps are like 30x50cm pieces. But if i wanted a real colourful mixmatch pair i now know what to do!
Do you have to sew a straight stitch line next to your serger seam to make sure the seam is durable and not unraveled? Why when I use serger, the threads seem to get loose and I have to secure them with a straight stitch line
Its generally not a bad idea and for extra durability I'd keep doing that! What it also could be however is that the tension on the machine is too low which is why the thread is too loose. Make sure to feed the oveelocker thread back in on itself and not just cut it off as well as that can cause unravelling too
@@recreatefulchannel hi, thank you for getting back to me! I love learning more about sewing, I took 2 years of fashion design back in high school but I stopped sewing for years and forgot mostly everything, lol. I would love to start sewing again. I saw some people making clothes with just serger alone without using a sewing machine and keep wondering if that’s even possible and if the clothes stay nice after a wash. And when you say feed it back in, does that mean when we get to the end, we need to keep running the serger till it reaches the start point?
@@hadang9679 no problem at all :) I use only a serger for some of my makes and it has worked well :) I think it depends! with feeding it back I mean to run the serger a little longer than the seam you are sewing and then using a needles to feed that last bit of thread through itself so that the seam does not come loos, cause you can't backstitch on a serger
so for this project, when you attach the small fabrics together into a big fabric and then cut the pants patterns from it. Did the threads get loose or still attached after you cut the pattern? Did you only use the serger when you made these pants?
This is a whole next level of not wasting fabric. I’m impressed 😮

Patch work wear are trendy now. Cute & stylish. Great work.
Thank you so much 🩵
Would be a good blanket
Thats a super good point actually!
Omg those are gorgeous
Now what do you do with the scraps of the scraps? 🤣
Thank you so much!! 🤍
Hahaha good question! I always save my small scraps in a bag over a few weeks and then give them to recycling. Some clothes shops take them in to make more fabric out of them again :)
Some people put them in pillows or ragdoll toys
@@suides4810 that's a great idea!

The idea of just making a new pattern fabric from scraps can go such a long way!! Very nice

Good points but will sometimes mean that the style of it will have to be sacrificed

Aww cute! A question why do you cut them into triangles?
Because the scraps were not big enough for the full square :) so instead I cut half of it and then patched those together into squares as well
AWESOME ❤❤❤❤
Thank youuuu 🩷💕
Beautiful
Thank you 🥺🩷
They are cute
Thanks :)
You could collect a ton of scraps and make an ottoman. You use the scraps for the cushion inside and the fabric on the outside😊
I actually have seen Kiana Bonollo do that recently and loved it!! Maybe when I have my own place :)
@@recreatefulchannel yes!! That’s exactly who I saw do it and it turned out so good

Hello I wanted to know what sewing method you used to attach all of the squares together so seamlessly
I just overlooked them together, they are not perfect by any means though 😂

How to make them line up you mean? These seams are not perfect by any means 😅

What stitch did you use to sew it ?
Just the normal overlocking stitch :)
