Liberty leftovers: How do you use yours?

Liberty scraps
Recently we asked our Instagram followers what they do with their Liberty fabric leftovers. We always try to use every last scrap, whether that’s using them to make our pretty bow hair clips, or adding the finishing touch to a gift.

Here's how our followers use their scraps, to ensure no Liberty fabric is wasted: 
  1. I make baubles with them - polyester balls, cover them with strips
  2. Tiny bunting for cake toppers
  3. Dolls clothes
  4. Lots of English paper piecing 
  5. Rag rug
  6. Currently tying my Liberty scraps to a wire hoop to make a scrap wreath
  7. Face wipes
  8. I keep meaning to make bunting with mine - one day!
  9. Buttons
  10. Covered button hair bobbles
  11. Dog leads - layer the fabric to make strips
  12. Tie them on my jam jars when I gift them
  13. Rag bunting
  14. Tie them in my daughters hair
  15. Decoration/ribbon for wrapping presents
  16. Face masks
  17. I save mine in the hope that one day i’ll make a quilt
  18. Beautiful rag wreath - just tie them all to a wire wreath
  19. Bows for hair ties
  20. School art work
    A huge thank you to everyone that shared their ideas, we’re looking forward to trying them all out! Do you do something different with your fabric leftovers? We’d love to hear your ideas, comment below...
