What do to with fabric scraps?

I often keep anything larger than a fat quarter for another project. I fold it up and keep it on the shelf.

I find a fat quarter is usually enough for most projects. For anything smaller I either make a scrap fabric sewing project, make a sample to practice a sewing technique, or I shred it to use it as stuffing in a future sewing project.

I have the hardest time getting rid of my favorite scrap fabric or fabric from my favorite sewing projects. I get really attached to the fabric even though I know there is always more fabric.

I just want to treasure the fabric that made me my favorite outfit. It’s best to use these scrap fabric in one of these fabric scrap project ideas so that I can save them and cherish them but using them in another way.
