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!

Wouldn’t the little grandchildren love a chalk cloth placemat!
Theresa says
I think anyone would like a chalk cloth placemat—you could doodle while waiting for dinner to be served. Hah—take one to the restaurant, doodle and see what everyone’s reaction would be. That might be fun.

Will do – looks good!
