Thanks so much Chris! So far the visual of the scraps is helping use them up too🤩

I am new to quilting and I think in the last two weeks I’ve watched almost all your tutorials. Some twice. I love your “realness”. You feel like my friend sitting right in my room talking and laughing as you go. Even admitting the fact of shopping at Dollar Stores made my like you more. I have 13 grandkids I’ve decided to make quilts for this year instead of purchasing Christmas pajamas. Inevitably someone is disappointed with their fit of clothes. They can use a soft blanket all year and longer. I want to try to quilt them myself because they will be too expensive to get long-armed. I’ve learned so much from you already. I’ve taken so many notes!! The Amazon driver has been a frequent Flyer at my house lately. I love this solution you’ve come up with for your scraps! I may have to take some old tennis racquets off the wall and reorganize my small space because I can already see I’m drowning in stuff and stash. Keep up the fun work! You inspire me.

This is a great idea! I keep my scraps in gallon size baggies already. So, because i'm lazy, i'm going to skip the bag construction. 😂 But the hooks are genious! Off to hang up hooks!❤

I want sure what to do woth all my leftover fabrics but then i watched how Lori Holt organized hers. I thought it was a great idea. HOWEVER, I don't have shelves or an available closet near where I sew (in the dining room) or where I store all my sewing "stuff" (fabric, machines, tools, books, patterns, batting, UFOs, etc) - in the garage. Your solution is perfect for me. I actually think the command hooks will work on my roll up garage door and will help decorate that big empty space - and put all of my scraps in open view. I think my grandniece will have fun helping me fill the hanging bags and it will teach her about colors, etc. At 3 yo, she's already wanting to help her auntie making quilts and bags, etc. I'm so excited.

I have many left-over pices that are wof 21/2 size, 5 inch and 10 inch squares, which could go into vinyl containers. I’d also like to sort other medium sized scraps of various colors into vinyl “boxes” by size with one also for crumbs and one for strips of various sizes 3” to 1”. Then larger irregularly shaped scraps could be separated by color and hanged in vinyl bags -as you showed us. Thanks for showing us how to make these very useful bags! And the inspiration to think through the process and follow through with action to deal with pesky but useful materials. We could even make bag for each holiday.

I have my walls used up and the backs of my doors with hanging organizers so I think I'll do this for a book shelf in my other craft room. Not using the hanging method but the flat bottoms will work perfectly on the shelves. Who needs old books already read... I thought about buying the dog food rolling containers but I already have the vinyl from face shields I'd used for kids with the pandemic. I got it from Walmart in the fabric department from there picnic vinyl in long rolls they cut yardage from. They have different thicknesses there and it's cheap. Awesome uses and much cheaper, thanks Tracy, you always blow me away with your ideas. You rock

Hi Tracy - You know I was excited about your recent scrap organizing idea. Well, having zero wall space I realized I had at least 2 closet doors and the room's door to work with. At 1st I though I'd attach them to the doors. Then I thought I'd sew them onto a shoe pocket device. Finally, I found the perfect toy storage pocket system. Each has 4 large (12 in x 12 in) pockets and fits on 1/2 of a door so 2 has given me 8 pockets. The front of the pocket is elasticized so easy to get in. The mesh is harder to see into than yours, and I can't take them down like you do. I love that yours have the colorful binding. But this was the answer for me. Now I have all my scraps, 5 inch patches, and 2 1/2 inch strips out of the canisters they were in. Thank you, again, for posting this tip.

My scraps take up more space that my fabric stash. Therefore, my new years resolution is to make more things with scraps first. I tried your first video and got through a lot of colors cutting out precuts. ( I haven't made anything with them yet. ) I do not have the wall space you are talking about, ( My sewing room is my bedroom, those fabric bags just do not belong there.) I love your idea though.
