Using scraps to create fabric strips for bindings, borders, edging and quilts is a favourite method for Anita Birtles. These are generally used in her bright and colourful quilts.

Anita demonstrates how simple it is to sew strips to till roll paper using a short stitch. Building up a strip of scrappy fabric trimmed neatly to the width of the till roll.

She suggests doing this in in spare moments using a bag of scraps.

Ideal to do when you just want to sew but don't have a project on the go.
