Hoard
There were a few quilted strips left over from cutting the main piece of the notebook to the right size.
Instead of throwing these strips away, I found myself “accumulating these pieces for future use and storing them in a carefully guarded space”...my stash boxes.I looked up the definition of hoarding and immediately pulled the strips out of the stash box.
They really could have been pitched, but I made a refrigerator magnet out of two of the strips.
My refrigerator will soon be covered with these useless magnets.I am not a fabric hoarder.
Repeat.
I am not a fabric hoarder.


Strips

I save so many paper scraps, I’m fairly sure I could redecorate my bedroom in an interesting patchwork…
Could you use your fabric scraps to make material cuff-style bracelets with a button or popper fasten?
Great idea! My friend makes cuff bracelets out of old sweaters.
Oh I have ziploc bags full of scraps — fabric, paper, lace, trim, thread, batting, fusible, interfacing. You name it I have probably saved it. You never know when I might need it. But, a lot of my fabric art involves small snippets of things. Like your magnet.
It is all too valuable to waste! Glad to know I am in good company.
I am the worse to give any advice on this, as I am a complete fabric scrap hoarder (my friends even give me their scraps). https://tierneycreates.com/2016/10/31/when-all-else-fails-reorganize-your-fabric-scraps/
I’ll just try harder to keep it all organized and ready to use.
Don’t think of it as hoarding. Think of it as preservation for a later date. Throwing them out would be far worse.
Hoard! Who are we kidding? 😉
