I reuse my buttons

I love these so much!! Sooo pretty!!!

You can use the cuffs to make little pouches. Sew up the sides, leave a flap to fold over and fasten. The flap can have the button holes and you can relocate the buttons to fasten the pouch. You can use the pouch for money, makeup, a small sewing kit to travel with you.... the sky is the limit. You can put the pouch in your pocket book. The interfacing in the cuff makes the pouch sturdier and the pattern of the shirt makes the pouch decorative.

Thank you! This worked PERFECTLY! I love how you said "because you'll cry." 😂 It's as if you know me well.

limiting yoir tub space is the smartest tip here

You would think differently here in Holland at an average price of $23.50 a meter, that is $21.20 a yard...🤣🤣

This video helps so much…just finished my 1st quilt, ready for binding 🎉

😮😮 this is fine and ive been doing it for yrs! Just factor in the time it takes to de sew stuff. Decide if u have more time than $ for the most part.

excellent tutorial thank you especially looking for the larger sizes in the shirts xx

Hi. New to your channel, just watched your green crumb block video, loving your enthusiasm for using up as much fabric as possible. Men's shirts often yield very good quality cotton, I buy clothing for fabric from charity shops, and often find some treasures on their £1 sale rail. Working the shirt pocket into a quilt is a brilliant idea. I've used small fabric pieces to make small items like shoe toe stuffers - include a loop for pulling, pack firmly with toy filling, stitch up the gap - keeps your shoes in good shape. Colour co-ordinated crumb blocks is something I've never thought of. I shall be hunting through the charity shops soon. Lovely videos, thank you. E❤

Lovely tutorial, well explained and easy to learn, thank you ma'am, from Sri lanka 🇱🇰 God bless you

❤watched this twice! Its awesome to watch, learn and admire. 😍Thank you for all your advice and sharing. 💞💞

As a clothing & home dec sewer, xlg men's shirts are great to take apart & cutout women's tops! Also I use sheets & pillowcases for clothes or home dec - great amount of material to make outfits! ❤ I'm currently working with a men's denim shirt & a lovely flannel plaid shirt to combine to make a shacket for my self!

❤❤❤❤❤ gracias, muy lindo, soy de Colombia pero vivo en Tampa Fl. , estoy feliz de encontrar quien lo explique super bien❤❤❤❤❤

Really love these videos and ideas thank you !❤

Great video thank you for it !

shirt weight fabric is not the same as quilt weight quality fabrics. Cotton comes in different weights of greige in production. Knowing this just compare weights, wear and textures. Keeping your quilt consistent with those differences, makes for easier care and similar wear. 💚

This was great instructions!!!

I really enjoy sewing crumb blocks - especially the monochromatic ones. Sewing with crumbs and small scraps really makes me happy :) Really enjoyed seeing your quilts with using crumb blocks. Thank you for your video - it was great! Happy scrappy sewing!

OMGosh I SMILED all the way through your sweet video. I haven’t sewn for weeks and you have inspired me to get back to playing with my scraps. I have made scrappy fabric also❣️ My daughter calls my pieces Moms fabric! I didn’t know what to do with them and now I have a plan. Thank you for your inspiring scrappy video Chris, Ontario, Canada

👍I’ve been collecting shirts for years. I never pay more than $3. I cut mine just as you. Just get it done. You didn’t say, but I go straight to the washer when I come home. I even starch/ iron before I cut up. My rule is..I can’t buy more until those are cleaned/iron/cut/ folded and put away. My thrift stores are not good, so I find my treasures at estate sales and yard sales..very best place to buy are church sales. This year alone, I have been able to go to 4 quilters estate sales! You would not believe how much good, clean fabric I have purchased!! Cutting mats, very good sewing scissors, thread, rotary cutters/blades and oh my goodness..so many rulers! Estate Sales..google your area weekly and go..(KH)

Thank you

This is my go to video. It works so well!! Thank you.

This was the best video I've seen on buying fabric. Great practical advice! I have two quilts I need to buy fabric for, the first is very specific & I'll pay full price to get what I need, the second is more generic purple & gray so I'll definitely hit the sales rack first for that one. Wish me luck!

Oh no! I missed the deadline!😮 It's okay. The concept is simple enough for me to figure out on my own. 😀 Oh, I like your method so much! And I like the way you present things. Very nice!😊

I love this!!!❤

I've been doing the final join like this for years. So simple - no expensive tools. It works every time! Thanks so much for sharing it

Hands-down, the best binding video I have ever watched, I really think I can make my binding look good now thank you

Wow, very inspiring, love how all of them turned out 👏👏😍

Don’t forget cotton sheets and pillowcases!

I love crumb blocks!

Did you say how much you're paying for each shirt?

Sooo lovely!

Wow. Very good idea. Its very hard to find cotton fabric at my place and its usually expensive. I will go to thrift store and apply your tips

Que BELLEZA!!! Una obra de arte!!! Saludos desde Argentina!!!

Thank you for sharing this video. I am a relatively new quilter but I sewed for many years. I wish I had all the scraps. I quit most of my sewing when my children grew and I was working. Now I am trying to build a small supply. But it is so expensive now. Again thanks

You add a backing, right??

I don't suppose you could tell us the maker of your beautiful china cabinets? I am covetous!

I may not be as prolific but i do have system that works for me. Anything smaller than a fat quarter is a scrap imo. I usualy fold and keep my scrap in a box, color coordinated in ziplock bags. Anything under 2 inches wide is being cut up and sewn into an hexie for my EPP quilting. EPP is what i do during my lunch break and in the bus so i run out of hexagon quite fast.

Great way to get some very affordable quality cotton for quilting. I don't do quilting anymore, and am selling most of my stash. But I still love quilting fabrics and seeing the great ideas people come up with to reuse things and turn them into something else beautiful!

If you remove the pocket with a seam ripper you can get a larger hunk of fabric to work with.

Nothing new. I’ve always bout men’s shirts for the fabric. Go to the ladies section and by the big saggy ”teacher dresses" . More fabric!

I'm new to buying thrift shop shirts for material. What would be an appropriate price for these shirts? I am disabled and have to send my sister to look for what I want, but I don't know how to give her a price range. We've never thrifted before and don't know what to expect to pay. I bought 8 pieces of material that were 19x19 inches for $13. When it arrived, I was super shocked at how little material was actually there for that price. Surely it was a poor deal. I need price range recommendations, if anyone could comment, I would appreciate it.

Thank you, I stopped at the end of my binding to play this and it came out perfect. Thank you much!!!

Thank you for posting this and showing leftovers can be reused imto something new. Your words were inspiring! I know what to do with all that fabric I saved/rescued! And I am also a rescuer of fabric from projects people otherwise discard. Glad to know there is others out there that do the same! 😊

Love your tutorials, keep up the good work

I am a beginner. Do you wash fabric before quilting? What about your scraps block? Thanks!

I love this idea so so much :D I've always saved my crumbs, because I've seen other "Crumby" ideas. LOL But this one! I love the charity quilt!

Hello - Loving your videos ❤ May I ask how you store your strips? …in same boxes as scraps by color, or separate? Just wondering - Thank you

Love it! After downsizing as i approach retirement, i had to get serious about scrap management and string blocks is how i do it. I am approaching having a queen size bed quilt just from string blocks.
