Description
I’ve taken to sorting wire baskets full of vintage scraps that I cannot throw away — more than 15 years of it! — into little bundles to accompany our Bookbinding Adventure videos. Last night I made 3 yellow bundles after sorting over the course of 3 hours. I only drifted to sleep once, near the end.
I’ve used these scraps for years in my work. My first discovery was upon entering an abandoned house attic — closed since the 1950’s — that revealed so many treasures including old dresses, some included in our Scrap Bundles, and small, tied bundles of the smallest pattern leftovers for future mending — for many projects over the last few decades.
These old treasures are at the heart of our Of a Kind collections, but they also find their way into bookbinding projects. They can be used as linens for coverless books, trimming the edge of soft leather-bound, to make headbands, cover up stitching knots, a little colour behind holes in old materials…

I'm using the scraps in my collage. Unfortunately they have been given away before recording them in photos. But I love them no less! I will do my best to send pics next time I make another including the scraps
- AFAllison F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoGreat Little Bundles!
These super cute bundles of fabric scraps are a great way to avoid waste and to not have to purchase yards of fabric. I intend to use these for bookbinding but some the smaller pieces will work well for sashiko-style repairs on clothes I love too much to toss. I hope these become a regular item in the shop.
