If you sew, you probably have a whole pile of little fabric scraps at home. It happens to all of us: we finish a project, and the leftover fabric is too beautiful to throw away, so we save it and keep accumulating it until the pile of scraps starts to look like Mount Everest.
Today we're bringing you a few ideas so those little beauties can finally take shape while decorating any corner of your home, bedroom, or studio.
Pumpkins (YouTube)
If you still haven't seen these pumpkins we uploaded to YouTube, what are you waiting for? These pumpkins take just a moment to cover and turn out beautifully. This fall and winter, if you want to give your home a special decorative touch, these mini pumpkins will be your best allies.
If you like this kind of decorative idea to make with scraps, you can also find many other ideas on our YouTube channel, such as these fabric cacti.
Animal pictures
These little pictures are just as cute as they are easy to make—in other words, veeeery easy. We made these two versions for Lulu Ferris, but you can use the templates for the drawings and let your imagination run wild. Make whichever little animals you like, adapting them to the scraps you have at home. Once they're finished, they'll look perfect on the wall of any little one's room.
You can also make a more grown-up version and put one on each nightstand in your bedroom ;)
Handmade memory game
This game is a great way to use up any scraps you may have, with animals, colors, or different prints.
You can make the game by using animal shapes, geometric shapes, or numbers.
The game consists of placing all the cards face down and turning them over in pairs, trying to remember the ones you turn over so you can find their match. Little ones love it, and if we're being honest, so do we!
This Lulu Ferris tutorial could be a great gift for the holidays.
If you like this kind of tutorial, you can also make the fruit 3-in-a-row game or the fishing game with scraps.
Reversible baby booties
These booties are perfect for using up all those knit or woven fabric scraps you don't know what to do with. They're very easy to sew, although the «downside» you might encounter is that, because they're so small, the fabric can be a little difficult to handle in some areas.
But the result is absolutely worth it. Once you make one pair, you'll want to make a pair for every outfit your little ones wear.
Plus, if you're interested in sewing things for your little ones, we have more ideas to make with your scraps. For example: the wooden teether or the baby boots.

So, with all these ideas, what are you waiting for? It's time to use every one of those little scraps you've been wanting to transform.
Happy sewing!
