So Many Scraps

Y’all I keep just about every scrap of fabric & yarn leftover from projects! My “tiny scrap” bin is stuffed to the brim, so I knew it was time to use it or lose it.

I decided to grab this extra long chiffon scarf I sewed up a couple of years ago to add to the mix. The trim is just some eyelash yarn I stitched on the ends.

I have never worn this, but I love the material. Unfortunately, I discovered there’s a running hole almost right in the middle of it! I decided to cut it in half, which also left one end open. Perfect to stuff scraps into!

I grabbed a handful of slim trimmings from my tiny scrap bin & dropped them right inside.

I tried pinning this, but it really didn’t help at all. It was better to just kind of shake it & push it around to where I wanted it as I sewed.

Sewing it Down

I used a coral colored trilobal polyester thread to stitch across the fabric scraps. My stitch length was set to 2 & I used a wavy decorative stitch spaced about 1/4″ apart.

After about 5 rows like that, I closed off the other end & shook the unattached scraps down to the bottom. I went back & forth like this until I had most of the scraps secured. Some still float around, but I like it!

Here’s a close up of the stitching…

My side seam got a little sideways & I did have some puckering. I still think the overall effect is neat!

I tied it on my mannequin like a scarf, but I wasn’t crazy about the look. It pokes out too much at the bottom for me.

Then I thought it was really wide enough to be a wrap…

Maybe I should try it on to see what it looks like on something with arms! The ends are just pinned in the picture.

I like this much better than a scarf! I plan on stitching down the sides just as far as the scraps go. It will be great for a light summer wrap & I have another half to make one more! This didn’t make a noticeable dent in my tiny scrap bin at all, but at least I’m headed in the right direction. : )
