Use that Scrap Yarn

August 5, 2008

pendants made from scrap bag yarn and washers.

I’m a big fan of being thrifty in needlepoint. I have so much thread that shopping my stash first is always an excellent idea.

But using your thread stash should include more things than just needlepoint.

I found this podcast from CraftyPod on how to use scrap thread to make pendants from washers. It’s a great idea and doesn’t use much thread.

I’m thinking about going to the hardware store and getting an assortment of washer, wrapping them and putting them together on some fabric to make a cool Christmas ornament.

    As they say: “Sewing fills my days, not to mention all my drawers and closets.” One good way to use pieces of leftover thread is to stitch up a blank canvas with little samples of various stitches. You can then use it to show others how it’s done. Leave a few inches hanging so you can teach by continuing the stitch. There’s nothing better than a live demo to learn new stitches.
