This quilt idea reminded of a friend whose Mom made clothes for her all the years she was growing up and saved pieces from each outfit in her cedar chest. When my friend was expecting her first child, her Mom got out the scraps and pieced a crib quilt for the new baby. It was exciting to see when she unwrapped the quilt and remembered so many of the pieces, the Easter dress, the dress for Grandma's birthday party etc. What a wonderful trip down memory lane that was for both of them. Just an idea for some of your young dress makers out there.
I love this idea, and while I make clothes for myself now, I dream of making dresses for my future daughters. This is a wonderful idea, and I hope to be able to do this one day
Yours are one level above mine, which are on the floor. It was so I could get a better look at them to pick out colours that would work for a patchwork project.
@@sybillestahl8646 if it helps, I like to use scrap pieces of cardboard to tack all of the fabric. you can use any old cardboard, from pieces of cereal boxes cut to size or old toilet paper rolls. i fold the fabric around it so it is square or rectangular, and then pin it there. it's a nice way to spend an afternoon if you are at home and have nowhere to be, I like to sit in the sunshine and do it. you can also tie together these tacked rolls of fabric with some string if you want to keep certain colours together
I love it so much that you tell us the centimeter AND inches ! As a German we only use centimeters. I always have to Google what inch length is in cm. I don't know but this makes me so happy! Thank you 🌼🌼
Steph Krunic. The best ways to get good hexagons is to use a paper base so they are the same uniform shape. But that's hand sewing and so so painful. But just look at 'English Paper Piecing' if you need instructions.
I'm currently stuck at home during the quarantine in Italy. I had scheduled my first sewing lesson next Saturday but it got canceled since every non essential activity is being shut down, so I'm kinda sad and looking for cute sewing projects to do with what I currently have. I already made a couple of comfy sweaters. I will try some of these as well!
I’m so sorry to hear that Serena, hopefully they will reschedule your lesson when all this craziness is over! Lovely to hear you’re using the time to make yourself some nice things. Stay safe! Xx
Serena I’m not an expert but I’ve been making some dresses lately. When I first started I made aprons and placemats. 25 years later I’m still using them. I’ve reclaimed an apron that I made as gift to my sister over 20 years ago.
So cool! Particularly love the last one. It's like "Still not sure what to do with your scraps? Make them someone else's problem!!" in the most positive and helpful way :)
Your scrap fabric collection is so aesthetic! I look at my pile and it feels so lackluster. I'm still super excited to try the scrunchie and quilting with what I do have though!
@@sedmihradska It's ok if your scraps are smaller! You may just need to cut smaller hexagons. :) My scraps are always super irregular and small as well - but I'm keen to give these tutorials a try.
Awesome. My scraps are mushed in bags and the bags are piled in a corner. But, after watching your videos, your order and method, I feel it's possible to change my ways. Thanks for another great video.
I'm a beginner sewer and I'm so grateful for your videos! Thanks for sharing these little projects, will have them saved if I have to self isolate! Or even if I don't, they'd be an ideal way to spend an afternoon! Hope you are keeping safe, well, and healthy x
I'm making a braided scrap rug! So far it is 4 ft in diameter and it looks so fun. I included a few old pieces of clothes that aren't really worth wearing. I recommend it! It's great to do in your yard if it's nice out. I just sit outside and braid. There's definitely time to get started on a longer project like that!
Great ideas to help keep our crafty hands busy while we have to kinda stay home etc! I have a hexie little ruler guy ,you've inspired me to pull him out and give him a go . Always fun to watch as always Janell . Stay healthy 😊
Watching you sewing made me realise how poor my sewing skills are.... watching you ironing makes me realise how poor my ironing skills are.... 😳😅 Yeahhhhhh !!! I’d better start playing tennis.. please don’t ever make any video where you play tennis please Thanks I love the scrunches by the way You’re great 👍🏼
What lovely ideas I just shared my first sewing project on my channel so I don’t have much scrap fabric yet but I love the idea of using these bits instead of letting them go to waste xx
My scraps are way tinier because I hate throwing them away!! But some of these are still useful ideas. And masks have actually been perfect for the larger pieces.
You right don’t feel like shopping like fabric at the moment . Online isn’t the same I brought what I really needed but it was just a solid colour to finish a project .
I love your contrasting pockets! I have a couple of garments that could do with pockets so will give this a try. Thank you! Also, I'm so happy to see someone use pins the way I do. So many You Tube clips drive me crazy when I see pins inserted along a stitching line instead of adjacent to it so you can just keep sewing :-)
i love the idea of the hexagon quilt! I would hand sew it because I currently done have a sewing machine :( So it would take longer, but wish me luck hahaha
English paper piecing technique is much easier for hexagon quilts, in my opinion, and it's very meditative and calming at a time like this! The extra supplies you need are very limited as well. You can buy precut paper pieces or a hexagon punch to make them yourself.
I have been given some pretty antique linen embroidered napkins but I feel like I’ll never use them for that purpose. (I just got married and we’re remodeling our house so we don’t have too much use for that type of stuff right now plus I got a ton of modern farmhouse dish rags/napkins for my wedding) I’d love to learn to sew and make a pretty flowy shirt out of the linen napkins but I don’t know if I should. I don’t want to ruin them!
😝Frankly, I often feel squeamish repurposing brand new items (fabric in clothing or linens or entirely other pieces) too -- esp. when the item was originally gifted🎁 to me. Or, when I consider the 💰money I've spent on something I never ended up wearing or using. 😯Shocking! 💖The truth is sometimes there is something we totally love about the item (or the giver), but in our heart💗 we know it doesn't quite suit our lifestyle or aesthetic. 😠On top of that, we all know when something sparks negative associations for us too -- and how🖌tweaking something with creativity and effort can make us fall in love with something all over again😍. 😡A purest will demand we ought to strictly use 🎀gifts as the original maker|designer intended. Many take great offense if a person dares to alter anything🛠. New or old, they tend to forget that not everything in life is some masterful, craftmans level, antique. 🎨Painting wood is often described as a 🕵️♂️crime against nature🌲, but the truth is not all wood looks good au natural.😆Many wooden furniture pieces were covered in cheap veneer to camoflauge that fact too. 😲At best, these narrow-minded folks insist you pass on said items, so another person can use it EXACTLY as originally designed.👩✈️This sort of militant person rarely even considers the notion that a vintage piece (even in pristine condition) can also be considerably out-dated or old-fashioned. As a result, many of these vintage items are getting trashed🗑 daily by legions of folks who cannot see beyond their original intent or the fact they hideously remind them of another era. 🤐 They refuse to acknowledge something being recycled♻️ is infinitely better than it being destroyed & rotting in the ground⚰ way before it's full utility has been explored. 🌎Waste is not good for our planet. Early pioneers were not careless with textiles (or anything). They figured out a chain of subsequent "lives" for textiles beyond their original purpose (table cloths, curtains, clothing, napkins, food coverings, patches, quilts, rag dolls, rag rugs and so on.) 💋We ought to admire such ingenuity and resolve. 👀Think it is perfectly fine to look at an item in a new way, esp. one that will marry both function and beauty. 💲It is wonderful to live in a wealthy country where textiles are more affordable, but it has made many of us careless and wasteful with them.🌟Appreciate makers like Janelle who figure out clever ways to reuse every last scrap. 💥Or, those who will used thrifted items for sewing, crafting, or costuming. 👩My tiny, petite mom was a fine seamstress.👧Resembled her in looks|figure, but got my height|scale from dad👨. Luckily, I was able to fit a few of her vintage pieces as an adult. Inherited custom made clothing from her youth made out of wonderful spectrum of mcm prints. 📸Took photos of garments before dismantling them. Created attractive tray tops, and wall art|frame mats (with them all housed safely under glass) instead. They bring me great joy -- not only for their beauty, but also sentiment. No one will have 💞cherished them to the degree I do. 😉All this to say, I give you full permission to reinvent that linen in any form that pleases you. 🤔Just encourage you to experiment with another cheap fabric before ✂️cutting into the one that is more dear. Good luck☘.

Brilliant !
That is so cute! Such a great idea!❤️
My grandmother was a seamstress and she used to make matching clothes for me and my dolls.
can we just apreciate, how damn ORGANISED her scraps are?? Mine are just chaos in a box 😅😅
Yours are one level above mine, which are on the floor. It was so I could get a better look at them to pick out colours that would work for a patchwork project.

The ideas for a hexagon "memory quilt" from your project scraps is wonderfully sentimental. Xoxox
The gift of fabric is a lovely idea too.
Thank you 🧡

Ciao! I'm also from Italy and I'm getting into sewing during this quarantine. I find these videos really helpful!
Her Serena! I recently taught myself how to sew using classes on MyBluPrint.com! I recommend it!
How long have you been quarantined....are you going stir crazy
I love the contrasting pockets!
😄🧡
So cool! Particularly love the last one. It's like "Still not sure what to do with your scraps? Make them someone else's problem!!" in the most positive and helpful way :)

It’s probably because I’m always drawn to the same colour palette when I’m fabric shopping 🙄😂 Have fun using your scraps!
Gonna try a denim scrunchie..i love scunchies😊
Love the pocket project. Looking at a dress right now and thinking hmmmm🤔. And definitely have to make the scrunchies!
Thanks Janelle!
Yay have fun making these projects for yourself 😄💕
Another couple great projects: beeswax wraps, bandanas, and stuffing (cutting the scraps into little pieces to use instead of polyfill)!
I imagine scrap fabric to look very different from whole neat squares and stuff
She said cut your large spare fabric into squares. So they didnt originally look like this.
@@Irrelevxnt still, my scrap fabric looks different, it is much smaller
@@sedmihradska It's ok if your scraps are smaller! You may just need to cut smaller hexagons. :) My scraps are always super irregular and small as well - but I'm keen to give these tutorials a try.
@@VintageIndi much MUCH smaller...
Azurana oh stop trying to argue.
Awesome. My scraps are mushed in bags and the bags are piled in a corner. But, after watching your videos, your order and method, I feel it's possible to change my ways. Thanks for another great video.
Use this time stamps:
1. Mis-matched napkins 0:47
2. Contrasting pockets 1:44
3. 'BE NICE' wall art 3:15
4. Scrunchies 5:55
5. Hexagon quilt 7:32
6. Fabric bundles 9:43
This is also in the description at the top lol
Tysm
Perfect timing. Making coasters and mousepads today 😊
i used to own a hexagon summer blanket that my grandmom make for me in my childhood 😊
Oh the contrasting pockets! I think I have some shorts to tear apart and put pockets in them!
Yay do it 😍
in nz we are in quarantine for about 1 month so I’m trying to find thing to do and I am definitely going to try all these things ☺️
I think Aus will be in the same situation soon enough... Have fun sewing some nice things for yourself during this crazy time! Sending love xx
I' m a sewing begginer and I love those ideas!
What fun projects and perfect way to use up fabric scraps. Hope you, your husband, family and friends stay safe and healthy.
Thanks lovely! You too 😘
I wish I had such beautiful scraps...
Me to my scraps aren't pretty

I'm a beginner sewer and I'm so grateful for your videos! Thanks for sharing these little projects, will have them saved if I have to self isolate! Or even if I don't, they'd be an ideal way to spend an afternoon! Hope you are keeping safe, well, and healthy x
So true! Have fun making them 😊💕

Love the pocket idea. Easiest to do scrunchies I've found so far. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
You’re welcome! Glad you’ve found these videos helpful 😄

Great ideas to help keep our crafty hands busy while we have to kinda stay home etc! I have a hexie little ruler guy ,you've inspired me to pull him out and give him a go . Always fun to watch as always Janell . Stay healthy 😊
Thanks Amanda! Those hexagon rulers are such a good idea. Hope you start making a lovely quilt of your own 🧡
Watching you sewing made me realise how poor my sewing skills are.... watching you ironing makes me realise how poor my ironing skills are.... 😳😅

Really appreciate you saying both centimeter and inch measurements!🥰
I always make scrunchies with my scraps so it’s nice to see something new to try
Love the contrasting pockets!
Thank you! 💕
This ladies’ way of “scraps” is making-a-dress scrap.
Girl, you read my mind. I'm starting a quilt today! Thank you ;)
Aww lovely! Have fun making it 😍
I have been making scrunchies wrong! Well, not wrong just different. But your method looks easier and more polished. I’m going to try your method! ❤️
Love these ideas. I am going to make the mixed matched napkins - brilliant 😊
Yay have fun making them 😍
In other news, I didn't have vlisofix conveniently lying around my house, but spray-on adhesive worked a charm!
Good to know 😄
What lovely ideas I just shared my first sewing project on my channel so I don’t have much scrap fabric yet but I love the idea of using these bits instead of letting them go to waste xx
Totally! I can never throw fabric out. I know I’ll use it eventually 😄
You are such a sweetheart 💕
The projects are wonderful. Thanks!
Love the concept and projects of this video! Please do morw like this😍
Thank you! 😊🧡
My scraps are way tinier because I hate throwing them away!! But some of these are still useful ideas. And masks have actually been perfect for the larger pieces.
What a nice idea ... the bundle of scraps. Love your projects. My first time here.
Love this. I'm going to join hexagons and make make-up bags for all my friends this christmas.
This video is so well-made!
Love the color scheme of these scraps! very satisfying. and great ideas! thanks.
You right don’t feel like shopping like fabric at the moment . Online isn’t the same I brought what I really needed but it was just a solid colour to finish a project .

You’re welcome 😊
Great ideas Janelle! I think im going to combine 2 and make a scrap quilt/wall hanging out of all my future makes!! ❤

Anyone can sew.
Anyone.

Guys dont give up i like started sewing yesterday with my sewing machine and i really did it good
@@ilikepotatoes3232
But you can learn, young grasshopper
I would like to see a tutorial on how to make some clothes 😻like from scratch
There are heaps up on my channel already, and I’m always working on more 😍
These are all really unique scrap busters, thank you!
Thanks! You’re welcome 🧡
Love your aesthetic and amazing video ❤️
Thank you so much 🧡
I love the colours! I can't wait to add contrasting pockets to a project when I get good enough to make clothes :)
I can’t wait to try the hexagon quilt!!
Great video, great ideas tfs
Thank you so much for the pockets !! It will save me a lot of time.
You’re welcome 🧡
Perfect been staying in because of the coronavirus so I will be sewing a lot!
Good idea so stay inside and sew 😊
I’ve been sewing pjs bottoms and dresses and a quilt
Lovely projects! I never would have thought of the cute pockets. I love your channel. Keep these sweet videos coming!!
Thank you! 💕
I make coasters out of my scrap fabric ! 🤗
I like the hexis
My scrunchies turned out so well. Thank you so much for the video 💖
Love this! So much compact content
Thank you 🧡
i love the idea of the hexagon quilt! I would hand sew it because I currently done have a sewing machine :( So it would take longer, but wish me luck hahaha
A lot of people prefer to hand stitch hexagon quilts as the end result is a lot neater! Good luck, you will have a beautiful quilt at the end 🧡
this is so soothing :,,,,) thank you for your lovely videos!
You’re welcome! 🧡😊
English paper piecing technique is much easier for hexagon quilts, in my opinion, and it's very meditative and calming at a time like this! The extra supplies you need are very limited as well. You can buy precut paper pieces or a hexagon punch to make them yourself.
Thank you so much that you instead of just give the measurements in inches also
i love these ideas! i mostly buy fabric from used art supply stores, so I do a lot of small scrap projects :)
Yay glad you found the video helpful 😄
Gonna sew all these ..
All of my scrap fabric look so bad next to each other, yet yours match 😂
Haha I had a lot to choose from! That helps!! 🙈
super cute definitely trying :)
I make my scrunching different but I will definitely try this method!
This is so cute!! The pocket tutorial is a must!!😍😍👍🏻 Can’t wait to try it 👏🏻🥰
May I ask you which brother machine you are using? Wonderful projects!
Loved all the ideas. I'll try making them😊
Thanks just today i need this motivation ! !!!!!!😉😆☺
Just found you sweetheart...thank you so much.xx
I really like your scrunchie video. I got a book on how to do it. But your video is a lot simpler than book! :)
Thank you 🧡
