7-Day Scrap Sorting Challenge – Tame Your Scraps

March 26, 2020 by Shannon 4 Comments

Tame your scraps with the Free 7-day Scrap Sorting Challenge. Sewing and quilting always amazes quite the fabric trimmings. Use this free challenge to help you sort them by color and size so you maxime the use of your fabric!

Got some fabric scraps kicking around your sewing room?

Me too!

The other day I shared that I was slowly working on a little spring cleaning of my scraps while self isolating during the Covid-19 outbreak.

I asked whether you’d like to spring clean our scraps together and I was surprised by how many of you wanted in on the tidying fun!

Since we’re caught indoors, we might as well try and get them organized, right 😉

I don’t know about you, but I can find myself in a pickle real quick when tackling my fabric scraps.

First – there’s a lot of them.

And there’s so many sizes – gah.

What am I supposed to do with all of those pieces?

Should you sort by collection? Fabric designer? Colour?

I get it! I’m in the thick of it with you!

So, to help guide us to scrap sorting success, I’ve pulled together a 7-Day Scrap Sorting Challenge to help wrangle our stashes.

Here's how the free 7-Day Scrap Sorting Challenge breaks down. Super easy and manageable so you can finally tame those scraps! #scrapsortingchallenge

To maximize success, we’re keeping this SIMPLE and QUICK and FOCUSED.

This isn’t a challenge about spending hours everyday sorting through your stash.

It’s about taking strategic small steps everyday.

Plus, since we’re in this together, we’ll be able to encourage one another, share our progress and celebrate our wins on Instagram with #scrapsortingchallenge.

Sign up here and you’re 7 days away from wrangling your scraps.

Let’s do this!
