10 Easy Fabric Stash Buster Ideas
Here are 10 Fabric Stash Buster Ideas with step by step tutorials to inspire you to create something from all of those little pieces of pretty fabric that we crafters tend to hoard collect.
You can find many more Fabric Craft Ideas on this blog, some of my favorites are this How to make a Puff Quilt and No Sew Scrunchies. All of the leftover fabric can be used to make small projects.
Fabric Stash Busters are my favorite type of projects to make! You already have the fabric needed on hand. Earlier in January when I asked my Facebook followers what craft stash they wanted to find projects for, many of them answered Fabric! So I went looking for more Fabric stash buster ideas and found so many good ones that I decided to put this post together.

Happy sewing (or no sew fabric gluing!)
Hi, I just looked at your list of projects because my 10 year old grandson has expressed a desire to sew. He doesn’t have access to a sewing machine (lives in another state) and I am not really a sewing person, though I have basic knowledge. One of his friends made him a bag for his “treasures” and that got him interested. Anyway, I would LOVE to have your input as to simple hand sewn projects for little boys to make. Easy, not girly, and fun to do. Thanks so much. I think I will cut him some fabric for the bookmarks and the heating pads. That might be a good start.
