What do you do with all the leftover fabrics that are laying around? You know, the chunks you cut off when shortening those pants, sheets that got worn out, retired café curtains, leftovers from that chair you recovered, or even samples you brought home when you were working on decorating your home.
  Well, why not make some clothes for your daughter's favorite dolls? Or use them to make a stuffed animal for the baby? It can be anything from a teddy bear, to a snake, to a stuffed ball or car! If you don't feel creative, the patterns can be gotten for free on the internet.
 Just remember to sew them inside out, leaving on section open.
 Turn it right side out, stuff it with rice, beans, foam rubber, or whatever, and then hand sew the last seam together!   Fabric pieces can be used as head bands, bandanas, patches, sashes, curtain tie backs, decorative bows on packages, or even as the wrapping paper, for that matter.
 It can be glued onto a coffee can to make a canister, cover a small jewelry box, or be made into book covers and book marks.
  Layered and sewn together, those fabrics can serve as place mats, table runners, or pot holders.
 An interesting piece of material can be, starched, stretched and hung as a wall hanging.
 If the fabric is fragile, it can be hung in a picture frame and covered with non glare glass.
  Or make a family project of it and have the kids cut out shapes and pictures from the scraps, which then can be turned into a collage, framed and hung, or decoupage on an old piece of furniture!
