8 Things to Make With a Fat Quarter

March 26, 2015 by Larissa Coleman

Fat quarters are a great way to add a touch of color and pattern to your sewing projects without committing to a full yard of fabric. They are also a great way to use up scraps of fabric that may be left over from other projects, or to try out a new fabric or pattern without having to buy a lot of it. These patterns are also great for using up fat quarters that you may have accumulated over time and are looking for a way to use them.

The patterns that we have selected for this roundup are designed to be easy to follow and suitable for a range of skill levels, from beginners to more experienced sewers. You’ll find patterns for bags and purses, home decor, and accessories that are sure to inspire you to create something beautiful and unique. We have included patterns for a variety of different styles, from modern and trendy to classic and timeless, so there is something for everyone.

Whether you’re looking to make a statement with a bold and colorful purse, add a touch of elegance to your home decor with a quilted wall hanging, or create a practical and stylish accessory like a scarf, these patterns will give you the inspiration you need to create something truly unique with your fat quarter. So grab your fabric and your sewing machine, and let’s get started!

These 8 ideas are just a drop in the bucket of options to make, but maybe they will give you some inspiration for something you can make.  What kinds of things do you make with fat quarters?
