9 Ways to Sew a Fabric Trivet From Your Scraps

April 23, 2024 by Anne Weaver

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!

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve.  Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve.  When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams.  She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
