Hi there. in this video I'm going to show you how to make this gorgeous scrap
buster project. Every single Wednesday I upload a new video on how to use your
sewing machine or simple sewing tips and tricks. So guys this is just a few of my
overflowing boxes of scrap fabric and for this project you are also going to need
an simple embroidery hoop you can find these absolutely everywhere and they're
quite reasonable if like me you have forced every single available scrap you
have in a tiny little box you are going to need your friend the iron in order to
press everything down. All we're doing right now is selecting lots of different
pieces of fabric and we're just going to make sure that we're cutting straight
lines it doesn't matter what sizes there are like I've kept them
kind of smallish because they do want to be kept kind of small for this
particular project. So I'm going to select my two first bits
so I've got this yellow piece here and let's pair that up with this bright pink
one so I'm just going to place them right sides together and I'm going to stitch a
quarter of an inch with my sewing machine I have my quarter inch foot
width guide attached to my sewing machine and I'm going to sew a straight line
and then I'm going to go back to my cutting table and I am going to show you
what I'm going to do next first of all I'm going to press these
seams down like so this is where you're going to start feeling liberated guys
because I'm going to get my ruler and literally what we're going to do is slash
there we go and if you want to do it again do it again
slash just make sure that the lines that you're doing are straight now the next
thing we're going to do we're going to get our next piece of fabric and we'll
line it up and we're going to start making our own fabric sections our own
fabric pieces I'm going to let you watch me do this a few times it's very
self-explanatory so we just line it up right sides together get it under our
foot and we are going to sew right down a quarter of an inch
then we're going to go back to the table we're going to press and we are going to cut
you're gonna press then we're going to cut like I said always make sure
you're doing it in straight lines and you're good to go
and go this way as well, line up your next piece of fabric so right sides
together
press, find a place the cut, tidy this up and repeat so I'm going to continue
on growing this bit of fabric to the size of this hoop.
So this is my finished piece of scrap fabric so what we're going to do, what we could do right now
is finish this off you'll see that I have some bigger sections here but that
is so it can simply be placed around the hoop because you're going to
need some to obviously tuck inside to grab into that hoop now you could
finish this like this but I'm going to take a step further and I'm going to put
some decorative stitches onto this. Guy's I'm not going to lose sleep over which
stitch I'm selecting I've just selected one and I'm going to place it onto my
pattern piece
I've now changed the thread color and I've changed the stitch once again and
I'm just having this decorative stitch go right across my patch all that's left
to do now is to hoop your fabric in place and as you can see that excess
fabric is really helping us now like so and just make sure that you got all the
sections in that you want to be sectioned off like you could have more
of this part more that part like it's completely up to you and just pull that
taunt and all that's left to do now is to cut off that remaining bit of fabric around the outside
This is what it looks like all hung up on a wall I think it's
pretty effective what do you guys think? I really hope that you've
