Using Up Leftovers

Dear Community,

What are your favorite projects for using up leftover yarn and fabric scraps?

Dear Josefa, it always depends on what it is and how much of it you have.

I like using leftover yarn and fabric scraps for doll clothes. You don’t need much, and you quickly get a lovely result. We creative people rarely throw anything away, after all.

So this isn’t just text, here are a few examples of my "using up leftovers": 

Sewn doll clothes made from cotton jersey:

Sewn balloon cover made from cotton fabric scraps:

Crocheted bits-and-bobs bucket made from leftover cotton yarn:

Crocheted: little bags for an Advent calendar:

Knitted: felted shoes made from leftover felting wool

Sewn bedding for the doll bed made from old bed linens:

Sewn: bell-bottoms made from cotton jersey for my granddaughter’s little dolls

Best wishes, Ina
