Do you love a good sewalong but don’t want to commit to another large quilt, spend the £s on a pattern or buy more fabric? Then this is the sewalong for you. We are going to use the scraps that we have accumulated and make small blocks every week to make a panel for a bag. These small blocks are perfect as a leader and ender project and to try out new techniques. Think of it as a spring clean for your scraps.

This week we are looking at how you keep your scraps.  I must admit I am not being a good girl at the moment as Christmas sewing has overtaken me and they are all piled up high on my desk! However, usually if I am sewing from a specific fabric line I keep all those scraps together and at the end of the project I give them away on instagram! That way I don't feel guilty and someone else gets to use them!.

The sewalong will commence on Friday 10 January, .

You can make a bag of your choice or the bucket bag that @justsewsue has designed for this project which is 8” tall with a diameter of 9.5”. This design needs a panel 30” by 8” (finished) or use your favourite bag pattern and customize it with a patchwork panel. Do you already have some small blocks which are unloved? Incorporate them into your design.

The sewalong will commence on Friday 10 January, but join us on Instagram next Friday to see how we each organize our scraps (or not).
