Textile Crafts: Upcycle Fabric Scraps for Your Fabric Projects

Textile crafts are one of the most exciting of all DIY crafts. It’s a craft that requires you to use cheap fabric scraps consistently. And, finding cheap fabrics for your textile crafts is easy if you can do it in the comfort of your home. If you have to visit your local shops to browse for fabric scraps, you’ll not only waste your precious time but you’ll also be stuck with a limited choice of fabric remnants that are just “okay”.

Online stores have a wide variety of remnants you can use for your textile crafts. These fabric remnants are either those that did not pass stringent quality inspection, returned customized fabrics, have manufacturing defects, or unsold past-season textiles.

Cheap fabric scraps can also be found on online fabric sites that have regular clearance sales. You will find fabrics that range from popular African prints, velvet, cotton prints, and stretch fabrics, including laces, wool, and more. And while some stores sell them as “fabric scrap boxes”, you will find others that allow you to select from what’s available.
