From Trash to Tools | Tailor’s ham from fabric scraps

Link directly to the Tailor’s ham in question: https://youtu.be/sEz4gjrm-NA

Throwing away my textile scraps? Not in this household! New tailor’s ham unlocked and infinite but very time-consuming opportunities galore. Pillow-shaped objects in all shapes and sizes really do make for the most wonderful scrap-busting opportunities. Patchwork too. While fiddly, it really was a whole lot of fun!

This video may or may not have been almost entirely inspired by the catchy pirate-themed interlude. I admit nothing.

My mountain of scraps has not really diminished considerably since this project either though. I foresee more scrap-busting ideas in our future, though maybe not straight away.
