How To Make Fabric From Your Scraps – Part 1: Irregular Shaped Scraps

"This tutorial is the first in a series all about different ways you can make fabric from your leftover sewing scraps. This method is all about how to turn the strangely shaped fabric offcuts from a sewing or quilting project into yardage of fabric that is all the same colour or pattern. So this isn’t crazy crumb quilting where you get a piece of fabric all different colours – this is about how to get more usable fabric from a pile of scraps of the same or similar fabric. "
