This gave me ideas! I'm gonna try using my woven fabric scraps the next time I bind a new sketchbook. If you use some iron-on interfacing to secure your fabric to lightweight paper, it's really stable and easy to glue onto book board. At least...that's definitely true for quilting cotton fabric and t-shirt material. I imagine that more textured fabric would be even more fun on a book I'll handle frequently

For really tiny pieces, I love a fabric bookmark. The book I am reading atm has a little bookmark I wove for it as the first thing I've woven for myself ❤

I needed this. I love the idea of making little bags, and as someone below suggested, using the fabric for stuffed toys. I just recently started doing sashiko and have been making tissue cases for the travel-size packets. Each one takes a piece of fabric about 9" x 6". That would be a wonderful way to use up my bits and bobs.

Great idea! What is sashiko? I'm not familiar with it.

@@ActonCreative, it's a traditional Japanese embroidery style which uses a running stitch to create patterns. Some of it looks very similar to "chicken-scratch" embroidery, which is essentially an embellished cross-stitch. Chicken-scratch is usually worked on gingham. Sashiko is usually done on plain fabric (linen or cotton/linen). Lots of KZitem videos about it! ;)
