When choosing a fabric to sew your dream creation, you should always calculate the amount of material needed to sew a given thing. However, despite the most accurate calculations, there are always scraps left after the finished project. What to do with the leftover materials? We strongly advise against throwing them away, as they can be used for  many interesting things. 

Patchwork

Regardless of whether you have large pieces of fabric or small scraps left. All this can be recycled, while reducing the amount of waste generated. Combining the remnants of materials is a patchwork. Once a product of poverty, today it is a sign of reduced consumption and concern for the environment and is used by many well-known designers. 

The patchwork itself does not have too many rules - it is enough to combine different fabrics with different patterns or textures, creating an amazing effect. Geometric shapes of the fabric should be used and combined with each other. The use of such a procedure gives a sense of continuity without losing the impression of patchwork. Patchwork can be successfully transformed into blankets, pillows, bags and even clothes.

And if you are not afraid to experiment with fashion, you can use such leftovers for fashionable patches, for example, sewn on jeans or a jacket. 

Children's mascots

Mascots are children's favorite toys and no modern technology will change that. A mascot for a child is a gift that brings him a lot of joy, fun and entertainment. In addition, children's toys can be a way to decorate a room.  They are often a decoration of bedrooms and even living rooms. Thanks to scraps of materials, you can make them  yourself. It will also be a great way to integrate with your child and gain new manual skills. To make a toy yourself, it is enough to prepare scraps of materials and plush, perhaps eye buttons and threads in matching colors will also come in handy.

And what do you use leftover materials for?
