Scrap Swap 2017: Fabric Wreath

/

What do you do with all of your scrap fabrics?!? When you really think about it scraps are really versatile. Sometimes I use them to make baby clothes, sometimes my kids use them to practice sewing but today I'm going to show you how to make a scrap wreath!

First gather your supplies, you need pinking rotary cutter, scraps and a wire wreath. For this project I decided to use all pink scraps so my wreath would match my sewing area.

Now let's get started

1.  Cut scraps into 5” x 3/4” strips

 

2.  Then tie the strips around the wires of the wreath. I prefer to make my wreaths full so I push the strips together and I tie them to each wire on the wreath.

That's it, you're finished!

We're continuing our scrap swap, and today's post is very special - this project is a great one for scraps, and will help girls across the world attend school.  As we gear up to sew cute clothes for our kiddos as they head back to school - please consider sewing up a purse or two to make sure that girls in Africa will be able to attend school!!!

When you are working with scraps, you may have a piece you love, but not enough of it to create the pattern you want.  This is when piecing is your best friend.  Fabrics don't have to be a perfect match in order to work well together.  Play around and have fun until you create a look you love.
