- Dear Sewing Friends, in this video we are going to pull out our knit fabric scraps and make something beautiful! All of these are really easy to sew, and some are even no-sew! These can also make beautiful gifts and special items for you and your loved ones. I hope you find these ideas useful so that you can make something from your knit scraps as well!
STRETCH INTERFACING - the stretch interfacing I had at home was passed down to my from my mom, so there is not tag attached. I would suggest light/medium weight knit interfacing for this project, as it will add stability, reduce puckers and make sure that your applique holds on. On the store bough t-shirt the interfacing was also applied on the inside of the actual t-shirt (not just on the applique part), but that was due to embroidery on the animal part, and I am assuming they tried to conceal all of the threads. Therefore I only added interfacing on the actual applique. Here's a knit interfacing that might work for this project - Pellon EK130 Easy Knit Fusible Interfacing 20'' White (www.joann.com/pellon-easy-kni...)

What kind of things do you make with knit scraps? :)
Balloon balls
I want to make the headband it is so cute, I love the twist.
I thought I was not going to do the headband right for some reason. It was to simple. Your showing how to fold it was much more easier than telling me. They are adorable. Just like you my friend. You truly are an inspiration for me. So glad that I got back into sewing. The best part about it is when I showed my daughter she said will you make me one, then she said or maybe I can make it myself........so happy. I also just finished making a baby scrappy quilt and that was very challenging but so rewarding. Take care.
I'm going crazy with edges that are rolling closed...any tips for stopping the fabric from doing this..I tried ironing but it helped little...much appreciated
I always use all my knit scraps, make dolls clothes for my daughter, sew small bits together to make dish cloths and cleaning cloths, I use them to stuff projects, scrunchies and use the long rolling up bits to make fabric baskets. I love knit fabrics.
I love that headband technique! Never seen that before.
Alisa, you should had seen me going through my waste basket in my sewing room....lol...
He he :) I can TOTALLY see you do it, well.... because I have done it as well :)
I did the same. I was like WHY WOULD I THROW AWAY THIS PERFECTLY GOOD PIECE OF SCRAP? 😂
Don’t forget tomato or other trailing vegetables or vines ties. Go crazy with the rotary cutter and you have perfect elasticized ties. Great ideas here Alisa! 💗🌵🇺🇸
OMG - this is genius!!! Kristi, this is a great idea and we are growing tomatoes, too, so this is perfect. Why didn't I think of it? :) Proof that two heads is always better!
When I was still in the workforce, I was on my feet a lot so I wore light support pantyhose. I used the laddered ones to tie tomato vines in my husband's garden.
I started using my knit scraps as stuffing for my Christmas ornaments and trees. When packed tightly, it makes a nice, firm pillow that stands or hangs well.
I've saved a lot of knit fabric scraps but I until now I had absolutely no idea what to do with them 😄 Thank you for making this video!
Same here! Working with knit scraps is different than with wovens, but this should help! :) Not to mention, scraps from ribbing are great for cuffs and necklines.
Absolutely loved the T-shirt.... so pretty.
Thank you, I love it as well!
LOVE that headband!!!!
The most Wonderful person I ever seen!
When I retire I want to follow you, I am so crazy about fabric, buy lots of fabric from Walmart all the time I go, looking for projects to make something and God brought you in front of me🙏
Absolutely love the knotted headbands! I'll be making lots of these in different colors and wear them over my ears as the weather gets colder :)
Alisa, you are so right! That applique idea is fantastic! Thanks for sharing and Happy Mother's Day!
I really like the idea of using your knits as appliqué! Thanks so much for these ideas. They’re great.
Cute products to do with leftover knits.
I love your videos.
I love the headband! I’m definitely doing this!
seems easy!
Some great ideas. Thank you. 💕
Oh my goodness, I have a burgeoning pile of scraps of all sorts and I love these ideas! I really appreciate your creativity and you sharing your ideas with us! :)
I used some larger knit scraps to make underpants using the free sewing pattern from Meagan Nielsen. They fit great and it's fun to have a secret match to my handmade tops.
Now there's an idea! Thanks for this!!
Really love your videos and sewing inspiration. Interesting that you mentioned and demonstrated crochet! I’m also an avid crocheter and knitter as well.
Love the hair bow..great for my doggie
Brilliant ideas . You’re a great teacher too ! You make it look simple thanks
Great ideas! Now I have more ways to use up some of my tee shirt scraps, thanks

LOOOOOOOOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
Several very usable ideas, but the crochet great one, I can use it to make tie belt just add couple beads and done. Thank you, I do believe Your videos are the most user friendly around. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing this great video.
I love the hair bow Becasue I have a 5 yr old that is always losing hers! And I know how to crochet so what a great idea to use them as yarn or braiding them! Thank you!
Great kid beginner projects!
yes, also true! Or for a summer camp - gets kids to be creative!
You are so clever, I like to recycle and save the earth
You are very creative.
Cute earrings pillow.
I was looking for a way to make headbands! A friend of mine asked me if I could make some for her and her kids. She'd like them to be made out of light fabric, just to cover her kids ears from the wind, as they are somewhat sensitive to that. The ones for her should be just to keep her hair out of her face.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Very origional .thanks for sharing
You sew very neat
Thanks💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖!
Very nice👍
your little one is going to be the bell of the ball.
Thank you for all your creative ideas! You can also make a stretchy hat for babies or teens with the smaller scraps.
Love the heart
Thank you ma'am! She just wore that t-short yesterday!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Cool, I know you looked awesome, kisses to your princess 🙏🏽

Beautiful Ideas .. Alisa 🥰🥰💕🤝👗
Thank you! By the way, to your last comment (there are so many, I read, but sometimes don't get to answer all) - I am not a fan of dresses, as for versatility I do prefer separates, BUT I am planning a video (probably next week) about how to turn ANY of the tops I do tutorials for, or any other tops you have into dresses! That should give you some creative juice :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativityOk I agree .. separates are more versatile.. I for sure will enjoy your video .. Thank you 🙏💕
My pleasure! We will be making some dresses though, just not as many :)
The headband is great. What measurement should I use for adults?
For headbands, how do you calculate length for adult size?
Have you tried piecing together your scraps to make more yardage for a patchwork look on garments? Would be super cute for children garments.
I have :)! Great idea! I just did not want this video to be super long, there will be part 2. I have made my little one plenty of fun things with scraps, I don't necessarily like patchwork look, but I do like geometric sweatshirts! You can also use knit scraps for making socks, hats, undies and things like that.
Second
Hello, hello :)
Can you provide info on the Grey Iron Mat ?
Ah, that is just a portable ironing mat, let me see if I can find an amazon link, that's where I got it. - www.amazon.com/dp/B0755RJ9C8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details
@@ThoughtfulCreativity do you still put a towel underneath just in case with this mat ?
@@mamasprintable2418 I do not, but I do put it on the tiled floor.
Great ideas. Thanks. But wouldn't it be a good idea to sew the crochet stripes together before you use them. So you don't need to secure so much ends? It would spare some length as well.
Miriam, please listen to 9:05 in the video - I touch on this subject.
@@ThoughtfulCreativity so sorry. Will do.
@@miriamgladen9615 no worries :) by the way, this is what I meant - ua-cam.com/video/e-UOc9RHdAY/v-deo.html
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you. Will have a look
Alisa would you mind sharing the name of those clips you were using? The ones I found on Amazon look very cheap and flimsy. Thank you.
Pavla, hello there! It was actually my friend from Ireland who sent these to me, I think, but I am not 100% sure, she got them from EcoBee fabric shop. I then got some on amazon and they were a bit flimsy, but usable.
Have you tried Press and Seal on the top of your applique when you use a straight stitch :)
Hello! May i know what size was your hair clip that you use for the bow?
It is a small one, maybe like an 1.5", but I don't have it right in front of me, so this is my best guess :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you!
Hi any advice to me to grow my channel ?
any programs ? or community you recommend highly apricate it
Can you please help me how to make a woman's pillow case dress.
OMG my brain hurt when she cut her scraps in to confetti! Surely using batting or stuffing from old pillows etc is better for making the squares puffy? Apart from that, I love this channel and I've learned so many things I can't wait to put into practice. Keep up the good work!
Make gloves
Alisa do you u h!have! Thank you A web side.
Wish you would let us know the start time for each project.😜
