    Digging in your fabric stash to see what you can make from various off-cuts of fabric can be fun. A great way of using up the small pieces of fabric, is patchwork. There are numerous items that can be made to use around the home and for gifting.

      May be good for beginning sewists. There are basically three projects in this book: Shopping bag/tote, patchwork scarf and a zippered pouch, both made using scrap fabrics with or, without patchwork piecing. I would not have paid for this book, but it's a nice scribd selection. Pretty elementary if you are an advanced sewist.
