Fabulous. I am 79 years old and I have scraps my great grandmother put together for crazy quilts. I have a lot of denim and I Amy wondering about trying this with sewing the print scraps onto denim. My mind is running.
Just what I need - - another project.
I'm also 79 and working with recycled denim. It seems that as my body slows down, my imagination speeds up and I think of projects 20X faster than I can do them! Have fun with your scraps!
@@SharonLippincott Such a great idea. I don't have any denim unfortunately, I never wore any, but I am sure I could probably do the same with calico, especially the heavyweight type.
Darlene, I have always loved your crumb quilts, but after watching you do this, I think I have found my new calling in life.
Darlene, your joy and dedication to your little bits of fabric is heart rendering.
Your 'No scraps left behind', mentality is not for everyone.
I loved your tutorial. It was organic, magical and inspiring.
However, making a whole quilt from this technique is not for the faint-hearted it would be real labour of love.
It really not intended for quilts but more for things like tote bags, junk journal covers, stuff like that.
I'm 75 and have arthritis in my wrists and this looks just like fun. People tell me I have a bohemian style and personality to carry it off but I'm a terrible procrastinator. I have just done a quilt for my lawyer son using a Jan Hassard design he chose. It was a real challenge as he wants exactly what he sees but it turned out beautiful and he loves it. I am now left with the strata that I had to cut at 60 degrees and this has inspired me.
I'm just returning to sewing after several years off (ah children). I am really enjoying watching you. Your comments make me smile. I have a tendency to save EVERYTHING. I think you save more than I do
Okay. Let's see what you can do with SCRAPS. Great looking, love to see this as a painting 🖼 framed naybe , could easily be primitive or contemporary.
I love the idea. I have just bought a new sewing machine, a very basic one that does straight, zigzag and not a lot else. I previous machine did everything but make a cup of tea, most were unused, but when it ceased to function I decided I would go for something simple. Well this idea has definitely caught my imagination. All I need now is a bag of scraps! Maybe I should drop hints at my local needle and natter group as at least two of the ladies do quite a lot of sewing. :)
Love this! I hate throwing away any size material, especially when prices are always rising! I think I will make bags, or boxes (or both) for my granddaughters. I use beige thread for almost everything, as it miraculously blends in, making the material the star. Also, I love my wool pressing mat. It hets evenly, leaving my material nice and flat. I would, however, recommend placing a towel underneath it, as my table gets a bit wet after using for quite awhile. Thanks for sharing, Darlene! I really love your video’s and your ideas. What a great artistic imagination you have!
I use my battery drill (a standard Ryobi drill) to make fine cord. I bent a piece of steel wire straight on one side (to go into the chuck), with a hook on the other side, to fasten the thread/yarn to. I double the yarn/thread and fasten the other end usually to a tall lamp. Then I start winding and keep going quite long, so it is really well twisted. Then I unhook one end and cut the other end. This is where it is nice to have help. Because it has to be folded over and grade of «twistedness» distributed by working it. But if it is twisted well enough, you get stunning cord from it that would be so cool sewed onto works like this!!!
I bought one of those Kreinik Custom Corder. Had it for years and made miles of twisted cord for my cross-stitch projects. Seems like it could be getting even more use now. :)
I have saved all my bits of thread from my thread catcher I keep by my machine . When I get in an artsy kind of mood I grab a small bunch of it and spread it on top of a piece of fabric then start stitching it down. All the beautiful colors look so great. Have also taken a scrap of organza, lay it on top of the thread and stitch away. Fun just to play!
I love your enthusiasm when you find yet another piece to save. I'm the same way and really appreciate all of your ideas. "Waste not, want not" was something I heard a lot growing up with Depression Era parents.
Incredibly artistic approach to quilting - wow, love this quilter's sense of adventure and style!!!
When you first showed the scraps you were going to use in this project, I said "NO WAY"...but, after watching you do your "MAGIC", I am excited to try this!!! THANK YOU.
I can't believe I found someone who does shreds and scraps exactly like I do. I have scraps,shreds,threads that looks just like yours. I even save thread clippings and dog ear clippings in jars. Thanks for your video.
i just love it. i have been thinking for years how to make jakket bag and lot of other stoff, by using these skraps to make a nice fabrik. thank you very much i am Kristin from Iceland and i am 75 and have a lot of time.❤😊
They would make beautiful table place mat's.bind them and place a backing on them. Very nice.
OMGA ( = Oh My Giddy Aunt) I learned this by using the water soluble stuff and yes, it end up rather lumpy and stiff... your way is so amazing and I'm totally into over the top patchwork... I'm so going to try this!!!
It might look great pairing it up with denim. Unfortunately its gone 1am for me and I aught to go to bed... but I am so going to give this a go.
Thanks a lot for this video, I'm going to watch more at a more suitable time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was fun Darlene - wish you would show us what you finally did with these scrappy pieces - tote bag etc.
I didn't do anything with them. I might have kept them but not sure. I might have tossed them during my move.
This is my absolute favourite re-fabric, Darlene. Good work!
This is beautiful. I will definetly give this a try. You could make it large enough to make a purse. Thank you!
One thing these small projects would be cool for, is on top of simple stools. Could make them very cool and surely a great project for e.g. Etsy. Using a wooden top stool from Ikea or some similar type of store. Put down a piece of foam on top of the stool, then a piece of polyester wadding, and finally the fabric you made which you staple to the bottom of the stool top. 🤗 PS! Can you imagine how cool such a fabric would be made out of denim only? All colors and nuances, of course… Happy Holidays! ❤❤❤
Brilliant. I would love to see you make a whole quilt with these. The weight of it would be great for people with irritable leg syndrome.
I love this idea so much! I am very close to being zero waste in my sewing room! I like foundation sewing but have never used the stabilizers and fusable web types of products, so I will adapt the idea to my wheelhouse, sewing bits to the wrong side of a cotton print, perhaps with a layer in between. But I definitely love my scrap and my shreds! I have a coffee cuff that requires bulk for insulation and turning right side out and top-stitching. I have been wanting to simplify to a raw edge design and this technique will be perfect
This is beautiful!! I’m so excited to give this a try!! I love creating with scraps!! You’re such a good teacher!!! Thx for showing us this!! 🥰
Brilliant! Love this way of doing it...I never attempted the netting way but this I love! Thankyou 💜
This process would be great for purses and bags, maybe even wallets. Thanks for sharing, love your channel.
Thank you my dear...with this method we can really use the smallest piece of material/scraps/yarn..🤗🤗🤗
Don't know what others thinks, but i think its very unigue....i love my needlework, knitting, crochetting...etc..many blessings from South Africa...🤗🤩
How fun! A perfect rainy day project!
Wow! This is a great beginners project!
You could also make a sitting or couch pillow with the scraps by using them as the filling
That’s what I do.
What a neat idea! looks like so much fun! I've always thrown away my narrow stripes.... Now I'm going to save them!
I use my scraps like this on my canvas art each quilt gets a pillow case a canvas I use all fabric for each specific project
if i were to make a bag using this plan, i will try some yarn with long fluff on it , eyelash kind of stuff, perhaps i better try it first with an iron to see if it melts, but this does look fun.
Love all your scraps❤
Your sewing machine sews SO Fast!
I speed the video up on those parts.
It’s beautiful. So kewl & amazing!!! I enjoyed this & want to add scraps even on the plain cubes. 😅😊😂❤
peak ADHD energy here
honestly i love it, i have similarly ridiculous amounts of scraps and threads and I'm looking to recycle them *somehow*
I just love your attitude ❤
I used this idea on a grab bag it worked out lovely so cool
thank you for all your videos so interesting
This was so much fun!!!
Thank you god sent you ,I just love your video ❤😇👍 0:06
I love your channel!!! Your sooo funny! 300 miles of rope...🙂 I too hate to throw away any scraps. This is definetly a way to eliminate waste. The "no rules" thing makes it almost illegal craft room fun. Thank you for your wild nature! Love it!
That was an enjoyable video thank you for making it you have such great ideas❤❤❤
I love your accent and your humor
I like this and I am going to try it! Thank you!
Well you could make quilt. 😊
❤love this! So fabulous!
Something to put on a table to iron, is an old wool blanket. That is actually the best surface to iron on EVER! Expensive ironing boards also have wool felt under the cotton top fabric. If you don’t have an old wool blanket or wool fabric, an old sheet or two on top of eachother works great too. You want a quite thick fabric, as it needs to absorb all the steam you are sending through the clothing/fabric when you’re pressing/steaming/ironing, especially if you have a steam generator iron, since it forces the steam through with quite a force, so if you have a delicate tabletop underneath, you might get a bad surprice if the ironing «top» is too thin. Take care, all and Happy Holidays!!! ❤❤❤
Love it! Maybe make a tote bag, using the smaller one as a pocket. Thanks for the tutorials!😊
YOU ARE FABULOUS!!!! I LOVE THIS!!
I love your videos! You are so fun!
Very fun!
Thanks for great inspiration thanks sew much
You are the best
This is my first “shorts” I’m watching from you. I believe you and the rest of us are going to enjoy it🫠
For some purses or Shopping bags it would be just right.
Would make beautiful boxes. 4 squares, bottom, and then lining.
I want to make a skirt like this. I might use fusible interfacing to just make the pieces and iron pieces onto it.
Could you use fusible to attach that to a Candace bag? If so does ,it still need to be sewn also?
I keep all my selvages because I plan on a selvage only quilt.
Love this, thx!
My trash bin will Neve LOOK the same again :-)
You could also use black tricot and cut away so colours “pop”
Hi there I love your scrappy craft idea I can't wait to try it out as I have loads of scraps! Can I use PVA glue instead of modpodge? X
Thank you 🙏🏿
Now where can I get some scraps ???!!!!
Have you tried black bridal tulle? It works beautifully
Darlene THIS is FAB!! So uniquely BEAUTIFUL!!!!! *QUESTION: What methods could you use to cover the entire Back of the Piece (the fusible side) with one full Piece of solid Fabric (like satin or silk or cotton, etc)? Thank you so much!! Just Subscribed!
I really love learning all new creative things!
PS.... So glad I found this because I have lots of old silk Lingerie that have tears in them so instead of trashing them, I cut them into a hundred Pieces of SCRAPS and now I'm going to make some FAB FABRIC!!!!!!!
May God bless you💐
Darlene, Hello I love watching your videos. I am wondering if that black fusible was a stabilizer product or an interfacing? Great idea!
What is that fusible fabric called please, I live in Australia, having trouble finding it.
I ❤ this !!! your funny X 😆🇦🇺☮️
These are quilt tops….you make the top first then put it into a sandwich , using thik or thin , light or heavy batting or filling then backing fabric….THAT is how you deternine how “heavy” or light your completed quilt will be
stuffing for pillows or dog beds?
Do you sell your scraps?
Is there any chance you would sell these scraps of strips by the pound on Etsy or something? Your fabric is beautiful and eclectic, and I sure would be interested. I make tons of non-sewing projects with scraps of fabric like this.
I bought a sewing machine for paper projects because I was traumatized towards real sewing in sewing class in intermediate school, but I might actually try something like this. I love it!
Now about the possibility of selling some of those 9 bags of scraps...😅
I used to but when I moved I got rid of all my scraps like that and I'm not creating enought of them now. Plus, fabric is heavy and the shipping is too high to make it worth it.
Could you make a scrappy quilt with that?
You could, but the quilt would be so heavy with the interfacing, but it would be much lighter if you didn’t use batting. But if you’re making a scrappy quilt, you don’t need interfacing.
It's on the stiff side so it's good for things like tote bags.
@@darlene.michaud thanks
What are “Penny Auctions?”

To me, quilts should be heavy
