10 Ways To Use Scrap Fabric | Beginner Sewing Projects & No-Sew Ideas

Ten beginner sewing projects using scrap fabric! We don't want any fabric to go to waste. Keeping your fabric remnants is a great idea because you never know when you'll be able to use that small, odd-shaped piece of fabric!

What is your favorite way to use fabric scraps?

To use the scrap fabric as stuffing is such a good idea. I have many tiny pieces in weird shapes that I can’t really use for any other project. Also many of my fabrics are completely different texture and colors so they don’t even look good combined. Great ideas.

Great ideas! I like to make scrunchies and headbands out of fabric scraps 😊 also doll pillows and blankets. My daughter loves my fabric scraps and all the cool things she gets because of them!

I use my scraps to make bookmarks and corner bookmarks! Also coasters, coffee sleeves, and makeup wipes ☺️
They require such little fabric

I always wondered how to make the buttons. Thank you for sharing.

I love all of these ideas! I’ve always saved my scraps by fabric type (linen is especially too nice for me to just throw away and wool can always be used for something) so I’ll definitely refer to this video later on! Oh and I’ve definitely gone into my scrap fabric stash for small mending projects. Small pieces are great for appliqués or visible mending!

Do you have a tutorial or reference for the collar and how to attach one to a pre existing clothing item. I love this idea to attach to my daughter clothes.

My favourite ways to use fabric remnants is for artwork. It’s how I started making my art as a child. I’d steal the scraps from my mom and continued to make Art that way into adulthood and now it’s my profession 😂

Anyone with dogs who like to destroy toys - use old jeans or denim to sew them toys (its really tough) and then stuff with fabric scraps. Makes so much less mess :)
