What should I do with all this scrap fabic?

So Ive currently sewing myself a blanket from all the logos on my old uni t-shirts & hoodies, so now i've cut them out i've got lots of spare fabric. I'm sure it must be of use for something.
Any ideas?

You could make a duct tape dress form and use the scraps for stuffing. A rag doll, a crazy scarf, or even a hula skirt. Just let your creative side take over and I'm sure you will end up with something amazing. Happy

Try fabric pompoms. You can either make them the way you would with yarn ie wrapping strips around cardboard circles, or by cutting circles out, folding them in half and half again and gluing them together.
Google em, you'll see what I mean=)

I think scrap clothing is pretty cool, you could do an awesome cardigan or even a hobo bag or something Happy

I agree, scrap clothing can be quite cute. I saw in the V&A Museum someone had made a scrap fabric skirt. They pinned/sewed the fabric onto an old denim skirt Tongue

It doesn't have to be denim and it doesn't even have to be a skirt. If you have an old pair of trousers you could cut them into a skirt then pin/sew the random scrap fabric onto it!!
