use for old bits and pieces of fabric

[lorihadams]

I recently read a tip from a reader in one of my quilt magazines and thought I would share. She takes all the little scraps of fabric and batting and puts them into a pillowcase. When she fills up the pillowcase she adds some cedar shavings and sews it closed and donates it to the local animal shelter for a cat or small dog bed! I thought this was a great tip for all those sewers and quilters out there and a great way for all of us animal lovers to give back!

That's a neat idea! I've done a similar thing with old holey socks and underwear, the sorts of things that don't make good rags, never thought of doing it with all those too-small snippets of fabric!

That is a great idea!! I'm going to dig my too little pieces out of the trash. It's "clean" trash, so it'll be OK.

Goodwill always has cheap pillow cases.

Great Idea, I make quilts and really hate to toss out any bit of fabric

Great idea! Thanks for sharing it. I think we may start doing that as well.

Thanks for posting that. I think I'll start saving mine, too.
