Hey sewers, looking to try something new? Take the Stash Busters Challenge! It’s a fun and easy way to use up your fabric stash and make new projects.
Here’s how it works. Today and for the next two Mondays, you will find new Stash Busters projects in the AllFreeSewing newsletter. Then, get creative with what you already have at home. You probably have fabric scraps lying around that could be used to make some of these projects. The idea is to make new sewing creations using only the material you have in your stash. Don’t buy anything new – think of this as the ultimate thrifty experiment!
Once you’ve created something, share it with the rest of the AllFreeSewing community. Post a photo of your project on the Facebook page and you could be chosen to be featured in the next Stash Busters newsletter!
Check out today’s newsletter for some project ideas. The first theme is “Projects Using Scraps”. (You can subscribe to AFS newsletters here.)
Here are a few of the projects featured today. Now get out there and start using up that stash!
Scrappy Hot Pad
Scrap Buster Pillow
Teeny Tiny Tote
Coffee Cozy With Button
Scrappy Bunting Tea Towel

This is a wonderfully cute idea. I have so many scraps of fabric lying around and I hate tossing them. I think I’m going to make my own iPod case with the bits I have left over from a Halloween costume.
Fabric scraps, particularly lightweight scraps with small patterns, are great for making clothes for fashion dolls. Free patterns are available on a variety of websites. Inexpensive buttons and embellishments can be purchased fabric and hobby stores.
What young girl wouldn’t love a box of stylish, new outfits for her dolls? And what mother, grandmother, aunt or other crafter on a tight budget wouldn’t feel good about giving gifts that are one-of-a-kind and affordable?
I love new ideals
I am looking for a doggy pajama pattern with the four legs in it. Do you where I can find one? It will be my project for using up smaller pieces of scraps for my daughter’s dog. Her dog freezes during the cold and I thought this a great idea for it and to surprise my daughter. She always says I am the grandma to her dog. LOL
