    Default Scrap Sewing Projects Wanted

    I am looking for small projects that could be made with scrap fabric. These are for a person in a wheel chair so machine sewing would be difficult, but luckily she is a great hand stitcher!

    Any ideas would be helpful...thanks lots!
    BEF: $$120/$1000

    Does she have any interest in quilting? She could do hand piecing if she enjoys hand sewing.

    Thanks nuisance! Right now I'm looking for a scrap fabric project for the decorating challenge thread, and this will be great to get some ideas.
