- Back with organic cotton/bamboo towelling to make reusable cosmetic wipes
- Stitch pieces together to use as bias tape
- Stitch pieces together to make piping. This is great for pattern scraps for contrasting piping - it's all about the detail!
- Use scraps for facings or as pocket linings
- Sandwich with interlining to make bookmarks
- Shred into smaller pieces to use as filling/stuffing
- Make small bean bags to use as pattern weights
- Patchwork in style - for example, sew 2 large pieces together to create 1 front piece to use as a top front, creating a half and half pattern.
- Make patch pockets with them, and add to plain tees
