Mom pulled out fabric scraps from old bin, turned them into these fab projects

Seamstresses, clothiers, designers and crafters alike all share one common problem: They have lots of leftover pieces of fabric piling up waiting for an ideal project. Holding onto those old pieces of fabric may seem silly, but they can create a fun project for the whole family to enjoy if you're saving them for a rain day (and a little bit of inspiration). The best part is, your options are nearly endless.
Even if you don't have pieces of leftover fabric, you can often buy smaller fabric pieces in bundles at a hobby store or even order them online. These projects can help fill an afternoon spent at home or even for moms to help their kids stay entertained and learn a new skill. All you need is fabric and a creative imagination.
