At a local quilt show I saw a jacket made entirely of printed selvedges, imagine that , it was the coolest thing, if only I had saved my selvedges!

save them up and make your dog a pillow. I belong to a sewing group and we save ever thing and a lady makes pillows for the animual shelter. Last year we made 152 polliws . I bet your little dog would love it
76 and counting |
crumb blocks, stuffing for dog/cat beds at the shelters, paper crafting uses bits of fabric for the front of handmade cards, paper piecing

I bought a box of clear Christmas ornaments. The ones they use for crafts and used some of the snippets from my project and cut extremely small and filled the ornament. They are colorful and you can mark the year and project and have a keepsake you only have to use once a year that will bring back memories. You could even hang in sewing room as decoration.
Happy scraps. |
I sew a "bag" out of material I don't really don't want to use in a quilt (you know - some of that "what was I thinking when I bought this material"). Leave one end open then put my little scraps in it until it's full. Sew it closed and then donate it to the local animal shelter. I also made one for my cat who loves it.

You can also use very small pieces of fabric and all loose theads for home-made paper. I used to make it, but not anymore!
