Do you just hate to throw anything away, especially the lovely pieces of fabric you have leftover from say, 100 or more DIY sewing projects? Maybe not quite a hundred projects, but more than I can count, for sure. Ha, I love to save fabric and craft notions, too and fabric scrap projects are one of my favorite ways to use leftover remnants. I keep my fabric scraps in a cute little box that is now overflowing, though, so I went on a hunt for cute ideas for leftover fabric scraps. Did I ever find some awesome ones!

I think I have more awesome DIY gift ideas for sewing projects than ever. Whether you have little tiny fabric scraps and trimmed edges or larger remnants you wish to use, these scrap fabric crafts offer a little something for everyone. From crafty jewelry and hair accessories to wall art and home decor, these step by step tutorials have some incredibly creative ways to use fabric scraps. One of my favorite things about these projects is how colorful and creative they turn out, often much more so than the original projects from which the fabric was left over. When you end up with a basketful of fabric prints and patterns to choose from, I guess this makes sense. See for yourself and choose a few new easy sewing projects to work on this weekend.

This is one of my favorite fabric scrap projects to sew, ever.

Quick Crafts You Can Make With Fabric Scraps - Pocket Warmers - Creative DIY Sewing Projects and Things to Do With Leftover Fabric Scrap Crafts #sewing #fabric #crafts

These DIY pocket warmers would have been a really great thing to make before Christmas for gifts, but there just wasn’t the time. The last part of the year has been very hectic and coming back to Austin after my unusually long holiday at home this year is very different and I felt inspired to tackle my ever-growing Pinterest list. Short projects really appeal to me as I never have enough time and I can get these done in an afternoon. They were super easy and I quickly made three pairs, one already gifted to my Aunt. I used some Liberty of London squares I ordered a while back which are so tiny it was difficult to find anything to do with them.

Simple Sewing Crafts You Can Make With Fabric Scraps - Easy Fabric Bows - Creative DIY Sewing Projects and Things to Do With Leftover Fabric Scrap Crafts #sewing #fabric #crafts

My daughter’s hair is just getting long enough now that her little bangs hang in her eyes. I wanted some little clips to hold them off to the side and out of her face. I made up a bunch of little fabric bows and attached them to alligator clips, they work like a charm and look cute too! These bows only need a tiny strip of fabric and a little piece of ribbon, I was able to use a bunch of stuff from my stash. The clips come in a box of 100 for just over $6 (I got mine at Sally’s). So not only are these bows adorable, but they are cheap too, score!

DIY Christmas Gifts From Fabric Scraps - Bifold Wallet - Creative DIY Sewing Projects and Things to Do With Leftover Fabric Scrap Crafts #sewing #fabric #crafts

This DIY bifold is a fabulous design! See, I wanted a wallet that carried a lot of cards with no risk of them sliding out. As you can see, the card slots face inward, which means your cards will stay put as long as your wallet is closed. I promise it’s a lot easier than it looks so check out the tutorial in the attached link.

My daughter makes jewelry and made some lovely gold coin earring sets for her best friends this Christmas. I shared a great idea with her to make DIY keychain coin purses for these beautiful creations, like having two gifts in one. Mere words can’t describe how cute they turned out. I had the best time teaching her this simple gift bag making technique. My youngest Son did an excellent job making the braided embroidery thread strings and the final product was breathtaking. When it comes to cute DIY Christmas gifts, these handmade gift pouches are one of my favorite presents.

10. Fabric Scrap Bobby Pins

Cool Gifts You Can Make With Fabric Scraps - Fabric Scrap Bobby Pins - Creative DIY Sewing Projects and Things to Do With Leftover Fabric Scrap Crafts #sewing #fabric #crafts

This year, I’d really like to stay on top of birthday gifts. It seems like I’m always making a last-minute run to the toy store on the way to the birthday party. Not this year. I’m going to stay ahead of the game by making birthday gifts ahead of time so they’re ready to go well before the party arrives. I’ve given these bobby pins to several of my friends’ daughters and they’re always a hit. I’ve seen this selling online for as much as $2.50 each. But if you buy the supplies and take all of 10 minutes to make them, they’ll cost a whopping .25 each! Perfect for everyone on your holiday list.
