Reuse and Recycle

I always felt that throwing away left over cloths from sewing is such a waste. During textile class, I learnt a way to make the bits and pieces into good use. this is what I did during class using my scrap fabric.


What I need to make this:
Scrap fabrics
Tracing paper
A picture (in my case, it is a flower)
Pencil
Penknife
Mounting board (can be found in art friend)










and I decided to make a quilted book cover making use of the left over fabrics from poly.
I cut the pieces of fabrics into specific shapes (triangles and square) and sew them together. In between the patchwork and inner lining, I added a thin piece of stuffing to make it abit more fluffy. lastly I stitch lines on it to create quilting.

Quilting is very useful for blankets, pouches, bags and so on. A wide variety of fabrics can be used to mix and match and create design for the patch work. be creative!
