So after reading Marie’s What do you do with your fabric scraps? post I was determined to get rid of a couple of scraps of fabric that I’ve had in my stash for, like, ever. Marie’s idea to sell fabrics on ebay is ingenious, but I wanted to use mine (and was too lazy to start measuring, neatening and folding fabric ready for selling to be quite frank with you!).
It was only when I was clearing out a couple of drawers for the baby’s bits and bobs that it occurred to me – drawer linings! Mere moments later (if we discount the days spent waiting for a staple gun to arrive of course but we’ll gloss over that) the scraps were used and the drawers looked much prettier, ready for the infinite cuteness that is a baby’s wardrobe.
Um, so i could do a tutorial but you’d probably shake your fist at me and shout DO YOU THINK I’M SOME KIND OF IMBECILE THAT DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO FOLD FABRIC AND POINT A FRIGGIN STAPLE GUN? so I won’t do that. But yay! Fabric – you are so busted. And I now have a staple gun. Hear my DIY roar.
Neat idea! Bet you find lots of other uses for the staple gun too.
Good idea – it looks so much more luxurious than paper.
Great idea! That reminds me that I am supposed to be doing that to my kitchen drawers with an old oilcloth table cloth…. Not at the top of my list though!
So cool!
What a great idea, these drawers look so cute now! Perfect for a baby…or a fully grown Marie ;o)
That’s a really clever idea! I love my staple gun, too
What a great idea – I might pilfer that plan!
It’s funny cos I was just thinking about this myself – and have been making hair bows out of them. I also did up my daughters dolls house, making curtains and blinds (yes, really) I believe it is an offence to throw scraps, however small in the bin

What a lovely idea! Looks very pretty!
