You’ve probably figured out by now that reducing fabric waste and putting your scraps to good use isn’t going to happen on its own.
You’re doing a lot of things right: you’re holding on to your scraps, separating those random-sized fabric pieces by size and color, and using them in your sewing and quilting projects when you can.
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of fabric scraps in your sewing space that keeps growing with every new project.
Concerned about wasting fabric so it’s hard to get rid of even the smallest fabric scraps.
Frustrated by your current scrap storage but aren’t sure how to create a workable system to efficiently categorize and store them.
Struggling to find ways to effectively utilize your fabric scraps with projects that align with your sewing and quilting skills.
Finally, put your fabric scraps to good use with fun sewing and quilting projects you can’t wait to create.
Step into your sewing or quilting space and be greeted by a well-organized and inspiring collection of fabric scraps.
Confidently tackle new projects, knowing that you have a system in place to manage and utilize every bit of fabric.
Know that every fabric scrap has a purpose and every project is a result of your skill and creativity.
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.
This virtual online summit will be live starting November 6th and going through November 9th, 2023
The Conquer Your Fabric Scraps Summit is cost-free for the week of the event. Each presentation is available for free for 24 hours!

You don’t need another event highlighting new sewing and quilting projects that are just going to add MORE to your expanding pile of fabric leftovers.
I know you care about conserving resources and reducing waste, and I want to help you unleash your creativity while making the most of your scrap stash and reducing its volume.
Sure, you can quickly search online for ways to use scraps, but the Conquer Your Fabric Scrap Summit is so much more than scrap-busting projects.

Conquer Your Fabric Scraps Summit is all about helping quilters and sewists discover practical tips and techniques to organize and store fabric remnants as well as creative ways to repurpose scraps of all sizes. During our summit, we will cover:
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:
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.
The summit runs from November 6 – 9, 2023. You’ll also be able to join our private Facebook community as soon as you register so that you can join in on the fun right away!
The presentations are pre-recorded, and available for 24 hours with your free ticket. So I encourage you to watch the speakers you don’t want to miss first!
However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions that interest you, go ahead and grab your free ticket. You’ll then have the opportunity to upgrade to the Scrap Success Bundle for extended access, premium bonuses from the speakers, and more!
Your free ticket includes 24-hour access to each of the presentations. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the Scrap Success Bundle after registering, which will give you extended access to the presentations along with premium bonuses from our speakers and more!
To avoid tech glitches and give you the best possible experience, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at a scheduled time during the summit.
You can join the private Facebook Fabric Scrap Attendee hangout group for community and support before and during the week of the summit. Here you can ask questions about the classes, talk about scraps in general, connect with speakers, chat with me (Nicki the summit host), and share photos of your scrap projects.
There will be daily live events for attendees who upgrade to the Scrap Success Bundle.
Yes. All presentations have closed captioning as an option. You will have the option to turn them off or on.
No. When you register, you’ll be added to The Ruffled Purse email list so I can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from me (Nicki), but you can unsubscribe at any time.
Each of the speakers will have free resources available that you can access by providing an email address, but the speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don’t have to worry about getting added to 20 email lists that you’re not interested in.
You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.
If you still have questions, I encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.
However, if you want to ask a question before registering, feel free to send me an email at nicki@theruffledpurse.com.
