1. Please post a picture of you pile (or piles :devil:) of scraps before you start and/or include it in your submission post
Sources tell me that some of you are basically drowning in scraps :fabric: so let's do something about it :snip:
How big/small constitutes scrap?
Hmm, will have to go and measure my scraps, I think my idea of scraps is a lot bigger than yours! I only keep them if they are a useful size , but not enough for a whole garment.
I'm open for negotiations when it comes to scrappy scraps leftover from garment making. post a picture with a ruler next to it and we'll see :)Thank you :)
P&Q scraps can be quite tiny, perhaps only 4" x 4" but garment making scraps are much bigger.
I was looking forward to this but i don't quilt and any scrap less than a fat quarter tend to go into the charity bag for shredding. All my scraps left over from other projects tend to be at least 1/2 metre due to the fact you often have to buy fabric in full metres when you need less. So i will have to pass up on this.I think I'm the same, anything less than 1/2 a yard doesn't get kept - but I've not had chance to look yet.
Sorry to be a pernickety so and so, but if you’ve got several scraps of the same fabric, each of which is less than the given size, can you use them all in a project or only one of them?

Well if it's good enough for ChanelI really, really love the colours of this one - I never seem to have co-ordinating colours though...

3. Sewing starts on May 11th and ends on June 10th - you can plan and prepare before the starting date
4. Please put your submission post with pictures up here by June 15th
Those are the same dates as for the Floral competition. Are they running concurrently? or have you done my usual trick of copy and pasting without making the intended changes?

@BrendaP , they are running concurrently :)
Would it be permissible to use the scraps for foundation piecing onto a large piece of support fabric?
There are a couple of ideas here - and a snip at £75 each!...but one of them is 'fully reversible' and one has a free bag. That makes 'em only £37.50 0_0

Wow that's amazing! Wear it with joy :-)
I would quite like to make a tee shirt from multiple fabrics but suspect that garment pieces wouldn't meet the size guidelines. I have saved a bunch of scraps from the things I sewed which were brown based fabrics.
