It’s hard for me to throw away little scraps of fabric, especially when it’s vintage fabric. I have quite a few scraps of pretty fabrics from table clothes, runners and aprons that I’ve been saving.
You can use up some of the smaller pieces of fabric by making a scrappy pillow.
Simply trim the scraps and pin them onto a piece of plain fabric. Sew across all the pieces vertically and then horizontally.
Sew on the back of the pillow and stuff with fiber fill.
I love the designs of vintage fabrics and this pillow is now like a scrap book page of some of favorites.

This pillow is incredible! Thank you for the great idea!! Now I have something to do with my scraps... probably not a pillow but a bag and a quilt for a precious little girl! (our babysitters 1st child!)
