Welcome, I'm also somewhat new....but, I'm sorry...we all love our scraps.
Check with an Alteration Shop..ask them to save their scraps for you. They will be glad to do this for you, offer them alittle compensation for it, it helps with the incentive to store these until you're ready to pick them up!
When I had my alteration, custom sewing business, I save all those scraps from dress and pant hems, custom sewing projects, and gave them away to quilters...now I'm a quilter, with no scraps!!!!!
