I have pieces of muslin that I used to wipe brushes & fingers on. Back them with iron on stabilizer, then lay threads on however you want, cover with tulle & stitch over with machine to anchor. I then do some hand stitching with embroidery threads. I use cardboard coffee sleeves as a template, cut the pieces and back them with felt and zigzag around the edges. Your own designer coffee sleeves. They make great gifts, unless you don't want to part with your works of art!

I'm with Gemstate, I save every little bit of everything to make my dogs beds, I put them all into old pillowcases, then make quilts from larger left over scraps to cover the sewn up pillowcases. When they get dirty or covered in dog hairs I usually have enough saved up for another bed.
