Remnant Bin Finds

Or more aptly titled “Fabric/Trim Remnants Are My Downfall!”.   Thankfully, I found these pieces before I posted my goals for 2015, or I would have been a failure right at the start of the new year.  I went into Hobby Lobby for some Osnaberg fabric, which I use a lot in my sewing.  I always swing by the Clearance section and this time I found this lot.

Love this animal print ruffle trim.  I’m sure I could use this on lots of things ~ an embellished little girl’s apron, a stocking, even upcycling a piece of clothing.  This was probably the most expensive at about $7.00. 

There was also a small bit of this grey, white and yellow tassel trim.  I almost didn’t get it, but thought it would look pretty on the cuff of a Christmas stocking that had a grey fabric.  For about $2.00 I decided to throw it in the basket.

This grey Paris print cotton fabric.  This would make for a nice couple of pillow backs.  That’s about all there is enough for, but worth getting for under $3.00.

I don’t normally buy something like this John Deere logo fabric, but thought it might make for a nice change for some masculine items in my Etsy.  I think this could be used for a pillow back (maybe with a truck or tractor image for the front) or doing a portion of a stocking or even if I decided to do a Kindle or ipad sleeve.  This is a nice amount of fabric and was under $5.00.

The last bit was this great black and white camera fabric.  Also under $5.00, it caught my eye as being a great pillow all on its own or for several other projects (like those I mentioned above).  Wouldn’t it be a great fabric to use for a camera strap? Or for lining the inside of a bag used to carry a camera and accessories.

I think there is so much potential in these remnant pieces.  You are only limited by your imagination and it is a great way to get a piece of fabric or trim that might otherwise be too expensive to purchase in full yardage. What would you make with these remnants?
