Well, you can do lots of sewing projects with scraps of fabric, and they become useful and eco-friendly items you will use all the time.

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 project, make a sample to practice a sewing technique, or I shred it to use it as stuffing in a future sewing project.
