9 Ways to Sew a Fabric Trivet From Your Scraps
If you enjoy sewing, you probably have a healthy stash of scrap fabric, little bits of fabric left over from previous projects. (Or maybe an unhealthy stash, depending on how much you have!) A fabric trivet is a great project to use up some of those scraps! Larger than a coaster but smaller than a pillow, a fabric trivet is the perfect size to try out a new patchwork technique. All those scraps are perfect for a patchwork project like this! This is a bite-sized project that is always useful in your kitchen. You can use just about any patchwork design or technique to make a trivet. But if you’re looking for inspiration to get you started, here are 9 ways to sew a trivet from your scrap fabric!
If your scrap bin is full – or even overflowing, like mine tends to always be – these projects will give you a reason to reduce the volume and put your pretty fabric scraps to good use. Make one for yourself or to give as a gift. Read on to see all the pretty – and useful – trivet designs you can sew from your fabric scraps!

Oh, would I LOVE to have this book in my library. I have been collecting wool and felt for some time now and just need some original ideas.
Thanks for the opportunity,

Oops! I forgot to tell you that Christmas is my favorite time for crafting! I always go a little crazy decorating and sewing (mostly quilts) for my loved ones.
Thanks again for allowing me to put my name in the hat!

I love to craft for Christmas the most and do 4 or 5 local craft shows every year. I have been doing this for 30 years as a hobby and it’s what keeps me going outside work. I specialize in angels of all kinds. When I retire I plan to do alot more with my crafts and really get “out there”. This book looks like one I would LOVE to have. I have FA LA LA Felt.

Christmas is the the busiest craft time of the year for most of us I’ll bet.

This looks like a cute book. I have several books by these authors and all are great. Will be a great addition to the rest of my felt craft books!
