I made something cool!  (And once I started, I couldn’t stop!)

These are bowls made from my leftover fabric scraps.  Because I do so much hand painting, stamping, screenprinting, etc. with my fabric, I end up with lots of teeny tiny pieces that I don’t want to throw away. But they’re too small for most sewing projects. So, they go into a big plastic bag.

Well, this project is a scrap buster!  I plowed through my bag of scraps while making these vessels.  And I looove that I get to keep all my little scraps and make them into something lovely.

If you watch this video, you can see that I used them recently in my art fair booth:

Today at My Art Practice, I have a video for members on how to make these adorable bowls/baskets/vessels/containers for themselves!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I love these Julie. I have been making some too, but your form is more pleasing than mine. I’m wondering if you are going to put out a YouTube video or do a class on these. I would love it!
