You guessed it. I just couldn't leave those Kaffe Fassett scraps alone. They're so irresistible! ;o)
I combined them with some rustic linen and a few buttons, to make myself a new tissue holder/zippered pouch (using the pattern found in Suzoko Koseki's book, Patchwork Style).
For the back of the pouch, I went wild! No scrap is too small when I'm looking to make "yardage". All those pieces come together, like a puzzle, which is a fun way to piece.
Goodness, it's surprising just how satisfying sewing small scrappy projects can be.
I know this won't be the end of my scrap forays, but I really do need to get back to finishing some of my larger projects. I guess it's time I hid my scraps, to keep from being distracted. ;o)
It's great to see what can be made with small scraps with a bit of imagination. I am really loving the bright colours.

I see a flaw in your plan! You will return to bigger projects and what do bigger projects make? Bigger projects make scraps!
