Learn how to repurpose leftover fabrics and make a Scandi-inspired wardrobe with Sewing with Scraps.

Home sewing can create a lot of natural wastage, and it can be tricky to find ways to use leftover fabric pieces. Sewing with Scraps will show you how to think sustainably and make 15 fashion-forward garments and accessories in sizes AUS 6–30, including a workwear jacket, patchwork tee, quilted coat, tote bag and more.

Swedish designer Birgitta Helmersson and Sam Grose will teach you three core methods to make the most of your scraps – patchwork, strips and collage – before you put them to use. This book includes 3 unisex PDF patterns – use the ones provided or try out the methods with some of your own favourite patterns.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced sewer, Sewing with Scraps will show you how to elevate leftover fabrics into clothing you’ll treasure for years to come.
