OK, just think of all the scraps from the classes that go in the trash...Ummm, I would be a dumpster diver for all those little pieces. I do it now with the fabric we use for demos...some times there's just one line of stitching!..the supplier sends 6' squares of cotton and a lot of the prints are from oop top brands...too good to go in the trash..
My LQS has classes but they don't throw away the scraps from them. At first they put them in a big basket and you could stuff scraps into a 5" x 9" plastic zip lock bag and buy that for $5. When they started that I stood there by the basket and neatly folded the scraps and put tons in the bag, so it was nearly bursting, and it was hard to zip it shut. After I did that a few times they started stuffing the bag themselves, loosely, with the scraps wrinkled and bunched up lightly. It was probably a third or a fourth of what I'd been taking! lol So I stopped buying the scraps-- I'd rather buy a yard of fabric for $5 than a loosely packed bag of scraps that's probably a half yard or less.
