So you've cut out all of your pattern pieces for your next sewing project. You've done a really good job at Tetris-ing your pieces together and cutting on a single layer in order to create as little waste as possible, but still there are a few scraps left over. Sure, there are lots of projects that you can do to use up those scraps – like our reusable makeup wipes here – but there will always be scraps leftover after that...You have a bin for all of your scraps, a bag you stash them in, a pillow you stuff them into, but will you actually use them one day? You have dreams of a scrappy quilt, but that seems intimidating and time consuming... You are an earth-conscious person so you will definitely never throw them out! Imagine a pattern that creates absolutely no waste and leaves no scraps! Well you don't have to imagine, because I have put together a list here of a few ingenious patterns that are cut from one single piece of fabric, and leave no waste behind!
