It's wonderful that you have devoted your time and talent to a zero waste philosophy. The fashion industry needs more people like you!

I asked a curtain making business in a strip mall near me if they could make up some cushions and pillow slips/covers for me using their scrap curtain materials. Next time I went in there, they had a whole range of pillow covers, cushion covers etc. using their own scraps. This was back in the early 80's. It kind of surprised me at the time they weren't using those quarter yard scrap bits and pieces from curtains. The lacy sheer curtain scraps made some pretty ruffles or "faux" covers for pillows, for example.

I never considered using the scraps to stuff DIY quilted fabric. That's a great idea and I'll be using it!

ok, thing to remember when making a pillow with scraps is that it will also make it VERY lumpy, so if you don't mind that go on ahead. IF you do, i suggest that you put a low loft batting cut about 1/4" smaller that your cloth all the way around ( or more depending on how much seam allowance you want), this will help with the "lumpy" factor. i do make these just as described, with the dimentions pf 19"x 14.5" & 24" x 19" and 3-4" gaps and don't use a batting sew them up with and invisible ladder stitch, and give them to my local vet. dogs/cats don't care if they are lumpy.

Hi: you are great, like all of this, I'm a 72 year old sewer but can still learn from people like you. Those jeans are awesome. One thing I came up with was making throw pillows out of clean, almost new place mats from the thrift store, I also make cloth handbags with them. God Bless.

Very good ideas to reduce waste. I especially LOVE the jeans. Another use of scraps that I do is to make bias tapes of multi-colors and patterns, looks great on throw pillows, placemats, etc.

Спасибо большое за ваш труд, вы настоящая рукодельница я не пропускаю ни одного вашего видео мне очень нравиться то что вы делаете. Конечно же ставлю Лайк.

I liked the stuffed canvas with straight sewn lines and shredded cuts between the sewn lines. It just looked like a great basis for a sturdy bag.

I love the sustainability perspective!

My grandmother has been doing this since her 16s. She has made rugs, pillows etc.

Love love love! Can't wait to see you grow even more! I own a zero-waste business as well so I'm always looking for more ways to help our planet

Wow, the quilting is extremely beautiful! My favourite way to use scraps and old clothing is to stuff draught excluders - I live in an old house in Scotland and they make a big difference to the temperature inside the house!

great job love to see new ways of sewing

I love these ideas! I’ll definitely be trying some of them out :)

This is awesome! I have som jeans with huge holes in them, and didn't want just two big patches on the knees, thank you 🥰🥰

I run a small zero waste business called Reincarnated Crafts and also keep all my offcuts! Thin strips work really well to make scrappy bunting, just cut into a pieces about 2cm x 8-10cm, no not to be precise at all. The the pieces to a length of string or cord, 2m is good to use around the home or on a Christmas tree! The smallest scraps I just chop up and use to fill hanging ornaments much like with your cushion stuffing. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Great video! Thanks for all the tips. I just started a small brand in Uruguay and needed ideas for my scraps! I mostly focus on size inclusivity and affordability, which is really important for the people here, BUT that does mean I’m using synthetic fibres a lot and I don’t want it to end up in landfill!!! ♻️♻️♻️

You go girl!! Tons of waste is out there!! So nice there are alternatives!!

Thanks for this great video. It's heart warming to know people like you are trying their best to improve and care for the planet. Some of the comments you have received are nonsensical, you are appreciated, keep up the good work ❤

I am new to your channel. I love this! I would love to see more video's on how to use scarps! Happy sewing! Thank you for sharing! :)

I love the jeans, so cool!

I love this video, ur outfit, ur attitude! Great !

You are doing a great work for entire humanity. May Almighty bless you. My hearty appreciation to you.

The polychiffon curtain one was really nice..loved it

I love that you don’t waste anything 💯

i use scraps for filling plushies that i make n other stuff- but i like the quilted one u did w the chiffon/tulle-like material ! a whole blanket w that would be cool- or as a tapestry kinda thing

Wow you are super telent.😊😘 lot's of love from India🙏🇮🇳💕

Oh wow! I could do this with an old curtain? Great video thanks!

i have a bunch of old clothes. thank you! 💙

Just brilliant I will also be using my scraps as well fantastic idea 👍👍👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐💐💐👏👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊😊💜💜

love the patchwork jeans very trendy

When my scraps are a certain size, I put them aside and then cut them down into tiny pieces for use as stuffing!

I don't have a lot to money to buy a lot of supplies. A lot of my projects come from old clothes donated clothes blankets sheets etc. It's a way to turn something old into new. Especially with diy.

I liked this Ideas I am definitely going to try it💜

Loved the concept n content

I use the pillow trick with my old and alone socks

Great job. i have got lots of ideas

I keep all of my bigger scraps to one day make a big "memory quilt". The really small pieces I collect in a bag and whenever it is full I give it to a friend who is a kindergarden teacher so she can put it in the creative room for the children to use in their creativitiy when crafting etc. I feel that's a win win, because nothing gets wasted and the children have more different materials to use and experiment. And also: crafting materials are expensive!

I use my roomates’ rug clippings as stuffing !

Demn!!! THAT TOP YOU ARE WEARING IS JUST 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That shirt is now my favorite design

New subscriber from the Philippines! Loved your content ♥️ I hope more people will be more mindful with fabric waste. Keep growing your channel. You deserve more subscribers!

Nice simple idea

Hi, just discovered your channel. You are so amazing, love your work ❤

In my village in India they use old saree to make quilts. Earlier all the teaching used to be done by hand by womenfolk in the house. Then someone commercialized and these women would go home to home, the household used to give them all their old used clothes+ sarees and the would take a small fees and make a quilt by hand for you in a day. Nowadays they use sewing machines to stitch it up. One of the most softesr and breathable quilts that can be

Thank you love it

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!You are so amazing ❤subscribed 😂

I just started sewing, mostly because I see so many cool fabrics in thrift shops and yard sales and want to turn them into something else, or Frankenstein pieces of otherwise ruined cloths into something cool. I think I'll start saving my scraps and eventually use them to make a bed for my dog! Do you know if there's any way to add volume or "fluff up" bits of fabric? Great video!

Very good creativity wow.

So useful video I love it 👍👍

Beautiful

Nice idea 👌👌

Hey, I want those scraps (hahaha!)

Wow fantastic 👌❤️

If you plan to make more scrunchies, you may wish to look up the burrito method for making them.

Thanks for this video! Do you have a video on beginners choosing the "right" sewing machine?

Thank you : )

neat 💐💐💐💐💐💐

great ideas! i used some scraps to make patchwork cushions and pillows, used more scraps as filling, also smaller scraps and rests of yarn and thread to fill fabric stuffed animals. i use them to give as gifts, specially baby gifts. i always have a couple of them around for such an occasion! totally unrelated but i love your crochet top, did you make it yourself? keep on the good work, new subscriber here!

In small age ur doing superb

Hey, Veronica. First time viewer here. Love your top💕

What are you using for fabric weights? I've not started sewing yet other than for testing stitch specs when I can find a spec. to compare with. I've only been learning the sewing machine restore to rescue some free machines... that turned into investing in a few treadle machines (and one hand crank grinder for a DIY hand crank conversion) for off the grid use, now totaling 45 machines. Seems neat and I'm looking forward to sewing some projects with fabric I've purchased and sourced from the Goodwill Stores to re-purpose. Getting closer to sewing some projects at least. Thanks for sharing!

Hi , the video was really helpful, could you make a video about what you do with your paper scraps

Great video. Thanks for all the tips.

Good job

Great ideas. The sleeveless mesh you’re adorned with is celestial. Cleverly designed.

I can do this once a month!

Yes I like .

Wow you have good property friend.

I sew all my own clothes and have a ton of scraps. I want to make a Japanese style futon sleeping mat for when my little son comes crying in the night.

Could you mad a video about how you opened your shop, and how you manage your business at such a young age? Thank you 😊

Hi Ron, thanks for tips, also what brand of sewing machine u're using eventually can sew so many thick fabrics. Anyhow that handy scissor hanging around your neck is not safe. Lol. Cheers

Jeans!👍

How did you make the weighted pieces, I mean what’s in it? Love your organization in the background 😊

बहुत सुन्दर

You can make seat cushions.

Where’d you get the stuff on your wall ? Like the setup and thread?

Do you have a crochet pattern for the top you're wearing?

Eco friendly bags,, which can be folded to a small size,,, can be sewn in old curtains.

Mam, how to convert old mens track to capri..

Do you know easy ways to save scraps from the landfills? I've been able to get unsellably small pieces of fabric from charity shops when I needed them for a charity project (for free) but after that I was denied any, and was told they sell it on to fashion industry folks. Who presumably still bin some of it.

I'm not sure what I would do with your second and third ideas. I would make them if I had a use for them.

hi veronicca. first time here. where did you get your thread rack for the large thread cones?

Khubsurat andaz

What is that cutter were it available

I loooooveve too you’re wearing!! 😍😍 did you make that?

My mother did it forty years back

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
