I like the projects in this book better than the second book, More Scrap Saver's Stitchery". Published in the late 1970's, these projects and fabrics totally have that 70's thing going on.

This is a great reference book for what to do with all those left over scrapes from sewing or quilting. It has loads of useful and whimsical ideas.

This was a library book. It is filled with a lot of cute ideas to make. I will be borrowing it again after the holidays to make children's puppet wash cloths.

A few cute things, but their definition of "scraps" in the seventies was clearly different than our definition of "scraps" today.

I'm never disappointed with the Scrap Saver's series, even though they are decades old, there are still fun and creative craft ideas that are worth making. I like Sandy's designs.
