Introducing the “How to Make Your Own Scrappy Patchy Top” Tutorial!

If you sew at all, you will find that you end up with a scrap collection that you may or may not know what to do with. There are a lot of different “scrap busting” projects - from stuffing pillows and bolsters with them to using them for quilts.

One of my favorite ways to use up smaller scraps is to make what I call “Scrappy Patchy” clothing, or “Trash Prevention Clothes”. In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make a “Scrappy Patchy” top using a pre-existing pattern of your choosing. Please note that this tutorial does not include a pattern. This tutorial works great with the Thread + Sprout Foundation Pattern and I have included a few suggestions of other sewists’ boxy top patterns in the written instructions in the tutorial.

Please find more information below :)

  • I’d say this technique is good for any skill level! It does take a long time though so please make sure you are well hydrated and take lots of breaks whenever needed.

  • Fabric: A light to mid-weight woven fabric like a cotton or linen works best. I do not recommend using knits for this technique.

    Machines: You will need a sewing machine and a way to finish your seams, which could be with a serger or by using a zig zag stitch on the raw edges
