My friend Melinda was at Hancock Fabrics when they were giving away their fabric samples. Melinda snapped up 175 samples. We brainstormed what she could do with them. See our list below.
When Melinda saw the samples she immediately thought they would make a great wine bottle bag/cozy. Without any sewing we wrapped a fabric sample around a bottle just to see what it would look like...with a few sitches it will look fabulous.
The fabric could be turned into clothing for your wine. Years ago someone gave me this fun wine bottle dress.
Okay, here is our list. What would you do with the fabric samples?
- Wine bottle covers/bags
- Wine bottle attire
- Placemats
- Gift bags
- Book covers
- Wallets
- Insulin carriers
- Makeup bags
- Centerpiece display
- Table runner
- Table cloth (sewn in quilt design)
- Quilt
- Plate protectors (place in between plates when you store/pack them)
- Tea cozy
- Toaster cover
- Pillows
- Doll clothes
- Doll house rugs
- Coasters
- Bath matt
- Tote
- Dog collar
- Dog scarf
- Dresser runner
- Vignette display
- Tree skirt
- Ottoman cover
- Hats
- Heating pads
- Snakes (the kind that are filled with beans and put at the base of the door or in the window sill to keep out the cold)

Wow! What an amazing list of things you can make,
Lots of great ideas!
Oh how wonderful to have that much fabric!! :o) There are several items on your list that I would do right away. :o) But what really caught my eye was the insulin carrier. My daughter is insulin dependent. Do you have a pattern or plan to do something like that? I would love to create something sweet for her to carry to school rather than what she currently has.

Cool! Will you post your successes? I'd love to see them!
Lots of creative ideas on your list :-)
How about framing some of the patterned samples and hanging them on the wall -- inexpensive, easy, colourful artwork :-)
You could also use some samples to upholster padded squares of plywood and hang them on the wall in a grouping as a bulletin board.
