Scrap buster #59 No waste sewing - how to use up snowball scraps - adding tape idea

I have made quite a few projects where I used 2.5-inch squares to snowball something. I have been collecting the cut off triangles to make something, but making small half square triangles feels like a lot of work and even more when you need to square it off… So instead, how about using adding tape (or interfacing or thin fabric) to put them all on, trim to nice 2.5 strips and use as borders, sashing or anywhere where you would use 2.5 trips? Sewing these was much quicker and fun, and such a satisfying effect. If you have lots of these cuts and don’t want to bin them, give a go with this idea. Happy sewing!

Still working with the same blade I have showed you in last update/review.

Scrap buster #58 No waste sewing - braided strips on adding tape

My scraps do have a long journey around my sewing room. Starting from bigger blocks, string blocks, crumbs and adding tape sewing, and then – what else can I make from smallest pieces? Braid it! Adding tape is great for this project as it will keep you on track with the middle as well as keep all the seams stable until you would like to use the strips in your sewing. If you don’t like working with paper, thin fabric strips or lightweight interfacing is a great replacement. I made mine from plain fabric colours but they will look awesome in any combination. No waste sewing and such a fun addition to any quilted project. Happy sewing!
