According to the Oxford dictionary, a Scrap (n) is “a small piece; rubbish: waste material.” Anina from Tiddletails had an interesting post recently on what constitutes a scrap. Opinions vary widely, but whatever your definition, there is something very satisfying about using up all those little “scraps” and creating something new. Scrap projects are very popular around the blogosphere at the moment.
I colour coded my scraps on the weekend, and then set about creating a few scrap projects.
I made a Loyalty card wallet to match my latest handbag…
….coasters to match my latest cushions….
… a placemat mat to match a table runner…..
…a zippered pouch to store first aid supplies when travelling….
…and some scrappy log cabins which will eventually become a quilt.
My scrap pile now looks more manageable!!

That band aid fabric is adorable!
I love all the ideas. You are a very clever, craft gal. I especially love the first aid bag, and the log cabin quilt start. Those are fantastic colors!
The loyalty card wallet seems to be a bigger winner – Did you use any of my scraps in the scrappy cabin log – I still haven’t started – scraps awaiting rescue!!
That’s an impressive lot of scrap use. Love the gorgeous scrappy log cabins. The loyalty card holder is a great idea too.
Wow, what a lot of great projects. Did you have a pattern for the loyalty card holder?
I love all of your projects, but that first aid supply bag covered in little band-aids is just the cutest thing ever!
Thank you, too, for the kind thoughts you left on my blog – they were very appreciated.
Just love those scrap projects. I’m going to get mine a bit sorted this weekend! I’m inspired
unbelievable…that is some serious sewing!
you have lots of gorgeous scraps!
Wowee! Great job, some beautiful scrap projects in there!
I love you card wallet. Do you have a pattern for you wallet or did you make up the pattern your self.
Well Done Lisa a very productive weekend!! I love the scrappy log cabins…very happy!! Cathy
Wow you must have made quite a dent in those scraps!
Love the scrappy log cabins and the first aid bag!
I just can’t tell which project I like most, they are all so pretty! The first aid bag is so cute! I love scraps, they always look so good!
Oh wow that is truly amazing. I’ll never look at a scrap the same way again!
Love the loyalty card wallet. I would love to get rid of all of those out of my real wallet.
I think it might be time to dust off that ‘Textile Traders’ card – I sorted through some very yummy fabric at the warehouse today 🙂
wow, wonderfully impressive scrap busting!
what a great bunch of projects, I really am drawn to the log cabins for the quilt, love the brightness 🙂
wow you were ridiculously productive!! I agree the bandaids are super cute but so are all your other projects! I am jealous that you are organized too… i chase that dream 🙂
Whoa! You went scrap-happy! So many beautiful things Lisa. I love the loyalty card wallet. What a brilliant idea. My loyalty cards seem to be multiplying!
Wow, you have been very busy. You make me feel motivated to get to work on my own scraps. Beautiful projects!
Did you emerge from your sewing space to eat? Great projects, all of them. Love the ER kit with the bandaids and the little piece of fabric with the writing about lunar crust in your scrappy log cabin. Love fabric with words.
Wow, you have been very busy! Everything looks so nice. I’ve never heard about a loyalty card wallet. It looks very pretty and handy. And such a good idea to make it match your handbag.
Look forward to your log cabin quilt. I’ve never made one – always wanting to. This one is inspriring!
The wallet is so cute! I love it. How does it close? It looks like there’s an elastic closure … I am in the process of making one of these myself. It’s funny how scrap fabric just keeps multiplying!!
What great little projects – and you used a LOT of scraps – which is always a bonus. Love the band aid fabric!

Wow Lisa — you’ve been busy! It always amazes me how much impact a little scrap can have when placed in a project. Love all of your goodies!
Wow! Great projects! I need a card wallet too! time to hit the scraps!
I just love the way you use colour. Very modern and fresh and beautiful. Love the placemat very much!

Isn’t scrap busting oodles of fun! I love those drink mats!
Oh wow Lisa. I have such a huge pile of scraps that I just can’t get my head around. Perhaps I’ll just send them to you!!!
Wow, you’ve made fabulous progress on using up your scraps. I love the variety of projects you made. I tend to get stumped when I look at my scraps. Thanks for the inspiration (and nudge).
Wow, you really make great use of your scraps! Everything looks sooo nice!
your card wallet looks great – what a good idea
Beautiful! I especially love the last photo!
love all the great uses of scrap, or treasured tiny pieces, but the loyalty wallet is a new one to me..love it!
Wow — that is a lot to accomplish! All beautiful projects and such creative ideas.
Fabulous work!!!
What beautiful things can be made from little leftovers – your coasters are stunning and I love the wallet. I’m trying to do the same – stashbusting jewellery – using up all those beads I’ve had for ages in new ways. Fun isn’t it?
Wow! That’s some ‘scrappy’ work there. You’ve been busy. I don’t know what I like best… it’s all so beautiful!
Wow! Marvelous scrap projects. Really love the scrappy log cabin blocks and that band aid fabric is just the cutest.
I love you scrap projects and the first aid pouch fabric just brilliant!
I love the fabric for the little first aid kit. Can I ask what it is?
love everything, especially the coasters. my friend just remodeled her kitchen…these will make a great gift!
I love scraps! wow, so many lovely projects to choose from……
What you all can do with scraps. I’m just a beginner with quilting so not that much scraps jet.
gorgeous…i especially love the placemat and of course those scrappy cabins.
Hi – just discovered your faboulous BLOG. You do some pretty cool stuff! Love the loyalty card holder too…might just have to make one!
Gorgeous scrap projects!!!! it must be the season for sorting, I am doing it also.
Lovely projects! I wish I had time to dig into my scrap pile a little more.
You have been busy. Love all your goodies.
I think you deserve a prize for your clever ways to use up scraps.
How fabulous and thrifty! Love them all….
adore adore the scrappy log cabins x
These projects look like fun. I’d love to see the a card wallet tutorial, too.
I love the scrapy log cabin!!! I will make an amazing quilt!!!
You are beyond amazing.
Like holy crap.
xoxoxo
Your bunnies are really super cute!
Amazing scrappy projects. You go girl! I’ve been busy using my scraps to make twenty seven key fobs for my Thursday morning friends at my church. The fobs will probably make an appearance on my blog soon. I’m ready to try something new with my scraps, though.
Happy Day,
Cassie
Love your first aid kit bag! I saw that fabric at the quilt shop and almost bought it but wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I may have to go back and hope they still have some.
Hi,
It seems that on your little pouch, you have some binding along the top – I really want to make some wristlets that way but can’t figure out how to do it! If that is binding, do you think you’d be willing to share how you did it?
Many thanks,
Beth
