Sewing Project - Scrappy Fabric

I tried my hand at creating fabric from scraps again.  I found a video on Patchwork Crafts on line that documented the process I was thinking would work. 

  1. I cut an 11.25 by 11.25 inch of poly cotton for a foundation layer - give it room to be trimmed.
  2. Collected a harmonious collection of scraps from my small fabric scraps bin.
  3. Start in the middle. Lay another piece on top, stitch, iron open, and top stitch.  Keep doing this in a circular fashion. This is the point I missed so I ended up with the problem corner.  I had to then switch to applique to put pieces in that corner.
  4. Trim the finished piece into the shape you need for whatever project you are working on.  I trimmed my piece to 2 pieces for fabric fold over card wallets. Other ideas are bags, quilt squares, accent panel on a tote, a wall hanging, and much more.

I am looking forward to making another piece of the collage fabric.
