Using up more scraps

 Continuing with my clean up piles I finished off some placemats.


And a Xmas zippered placemat


I have put a napkin and cutlery in the pocket. This one is for me to use.


Then the smaller scraps 


were made into pin cushions.


They are good to put a few binding clips on and your sewing needle when stitching your bindings or other hand projects.


I want to get about 40 of these made by December. I am well on the way. I have about 14 already. I will continue to make these with the leftovers of other projects. It’s a finish up year…

Great way to use up leftovers. I have one of those handy pin cushions and use it every time I sit at my machine.

Great progress Jo & I love the placemat with the pocket for cutlery. I am thinking these would make a great individual gift & you can pick up really nice cutlery for a song at the thrift shops. xx

The placemats and pin cushions have turned out so well. Good luck with reaching your target.

I love the fabric with the ladies on it. Cute placemats. I still have the Aussie one you made me.
