          Meet your host ... Hello, I'm Nicki!

          When I took in several bags of fabric remnants from friends who were decluttering their stashes, my sewing and quilting scraps multiplied overnight. I couldn’t bring myself to throw anything away, and I quickly realized the scrap management system I had been using would no longer work. My sewing space was crowded with unorganized scrap bags, and I knew I needed a different approach.

          Through research, personal reflection, and a whole lot of testing and tweaking I developed a new scrap storage and organization system that allows me to utilize my scraps in such a way that fits seamlessly into my own sewing process. Repurposing my scraps has also led to many new exciting sewing and quilting projects along the way.

          That's exactly what I want for you and why I'm hosting this online event.

          Let me help you develop your own personalized scrap management system so you no longer feel uncertain, disorganized, and burdened by the weight of your exploding scrap pile.

          Join me and 13 other quilting and sewing experts for a one-of-a-kind event that will help you take control of your fabric scraps.

          I can't wait to see you there!

                  CONQUER YOUR FABRIC SCRAPS SUMMIT is designed for quilters and sewists who make home decor, bags, purses, small projects, etc.

                  This summit is for you if:

                  • You want creative ideas for using scraps
                  • You’re looking for inspiration on how to organize your scraps
                  • Your scrap bins are overflowing and you’re struggling with what to do with all your project leftovers
                  • You have been unable to sew your way out of feeling overrun with fabric scraps

                  If you are new to sewing or quilting and your scrap pile is currently small and manageable this event is for you, too. (Because it doesn’t take too long before those scraps get out of control.)

                  If making clothes is ONE of your sewing interests, this summit is for you.

                  The speaker lineup consists of quilters, fiber artists, weavers, fabric lovers, and sustainable creatives. Their classes will definitely inspire you to feel motivated and excited about using your scraps.

                  If you ONLY sew garments, this summit is probably not for you. There are no speakers or classes that focus on using or managing scraps from clothes construction.
