Random Quick Tip!

Easy Scrap Saving!
Line a small trash basket with an old pillowcase and use it to throw all of your scraps that are too small for other projects, into it. Then when the pillowcase is full, I mean really full, so full you can't fill it anymore, sew up the opening and use it for a Pillow Sham on your bed! You know, put it inside a pillow sham cover that comes with bedroom linen sets. You can also use the stuffing for other stuffed projects.
