A few months ago I had a SCRAP ATTACK!
I looked over at what I thought was a little bag of scraps and to my surprise my cute little bag had become a monster of overflowing lost and lonely pieces. I knew it was time to purge. Two exciting events were coming soon and so I put my foot down and told myself I must use my poor lonely scraps for something gorgeous.
First on the list: My sister & baby Ofelia, The Baby Shower Gift!
I wanted to find a better than the best idea for my brand new niece. I decided to read through one of my favorite blogs. My sister and her husband LOVE birds and so I searched "birds" and there it was. The perfect, better than best project to please my sister and the little/big monster bag o' scraps sitting next to me growling to be used.
Next on the list: Mothers Day
My mother is beyond amazing! I would sew for her the world if I could, but for now it was a project that had to participate in the SCRAP ATTACK. My next stop was another one of my favorite blogs, Sew Mama Sew. This took a little more time to find because I had no preconceived ideas of I wanted to create. Sew Mama Sew came through for me and this little project drew me in. I changed it up a little and added the scraps of some of what I knew were moms favorite fabrics. It was a hit!
It was so fun to make I had to make one more for baby Ofelia. She hadn't arrived yet but I had to honor my sister and her first Mothers day. She loved it and now Ofelia has a new play mat!
So right when you think it's time to give up on your bag o' scraps take a minute and blog hop some of your favorite blogs or shops for some great scrap attack ideas!
Happy Sewing Seamsters!
