Using up crumbs

I have been going through my seasons boxes. I have a smaller studio and after donating almost 200 boxes of fabric I wanted to do something practical with what I kept.


I break the fabric storage down into sections, boxes of sheets and larger pieces, medium sized pieces, small pieces and the last - crumbs and scraps. All sorted according to the color seasons.


I had still too many boxes of crumbs so I decided to create "fabric" pieces out of them and from those to create practical items.


The first task was to create the fabrics.

Summer crumb fabric

Autumn crumb fabric

Winter crumb fabric

Just joining the pieces emptied 3 boxes.



I then made aprons from each season

Tote bags

And pillows

I made a few more metres of fabric in each color season and that got rid of another 3 boxes. Now I have boxes of crumb fabric and more space.
