Using Fabric Scraps

Confession: I am a fabric scrap hoarder. If there are several inches left after I cut out what I need for a project, I will save it. I have accumulated a lot of scraps that needed dealing with, so I came up with a few projects. I bet you can't tell what color I have the most scraps of...

Bean/ rice bags, scarves (I have made 5 so far), 2 pairs of nighttime boxers (I enlarged & slightly modified this pattern) and 2 pair of cloth trainers (a pattern I drafted)

 

I was really excited by the Grover trainer, but Michael said it looked like a blue Gumby. (Actually, he said a claymation character and I figured out whom he was talking about.) My sister and my mom said it might be able to pass for Cookie Monster, but not Grover. By the way, the lighting isn't very good, but his nose is pink. Even though Mayer's favorite color is blue, he wants me to make an Elmo one too. Thankfully, I think I have enough red and orange scraps in my stash! I might take pictures of the process and share. The pattern still needs a little tweaking too.
