Scrap Happy Update: More Fabric Scraps & Remnant Ideas

Here are a bunch of new tutorials and patterns for using up fabric scraps and remnants. Last year’s tutorial list was a big hit (see Scrap Happy – More Than 50 Fabric Scraps & Remnant Ideas Plus Free Patterns), here’s what I’ve collected since then.

I’ve attempted to keep things that are similar together in one section plus I’ve included past projects featured on Tipnut in case you missed them (each section will have new things).

Enjoy!
