The opportunity to use remnant fabric from my Helping Hands, Touching Hearts projects to make kits for Days for Girls International set things in motion. Alas, one thing leads to another. Indeed, I reclaimed significant fabric for my latest project. However, the pads for the DfGI kits are made from flannel and the four corners are removed for ease of use. The math is (45) kits X (8) pads X (2) sides X (4) corners = 2880 remnants that filled a couple of shopping bags.
Please feel free to make other suggestions. I reclaimed about a third of the small triangular pieces by cutting 1/4 inch strip from the hypotenuse for us in a latch hook project. This was new territory for me. I had never latch hooked.
I assure you this stool is not comfortable for sewing machine work. My idea was to make a small rug or seat cushion. Appearance does not matter when you are sitting on it 😉
2880 times I trimmed the hypotenuse of the flannel triangles of 16 different colors and patterns of remnants.

One example of what happens when your conscience keeps you from hastily throwing scraps away. My grandmothers and great grandmothers would be proud.
That’s so cool! I just learned how to latch hook yesterday. What a coincidence !
