Sewing with Scraps Book

Buy Sewing with Scraps by Birgitta Helmersson and Sam Grose. Learn how to repurpose leftover fabric to make a Scandi-inspired wardrobe!

Home sewing can create a lot of wastage, and it can be tricky to find ways to use leftover fabric pieces. Sewing with Scraps will show you how to think sustainably and make 15 fashion-forward garments and accessories, including a workwear jacket, patchwork tee, quilted coat, tote bag, and more.

Swedish designer Birgitta Helmersson and Sam Grose will teach you three core methods to make the most of your scraps – patchwork, strips and collage – before you put them to use. The book includes three unisex PDF patterns to download. Use the patterns provided or try out the methods with some of your own favourite patterns.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced sewer, Sewing with Scraps will show you how to elevate leftover fabric into clothing you'll treasure for years to come.
