There is a project could be made from scraps of fabric for wounded soldiers. Called "dump bags" or "Walter Reed bags". Link to pdf file to make them:

http://asgatlanta.org.

You can go to


Make Dump Bags for Injured Soldiers- It's a catch-all fabric bucket! | Pepsi Refresh Everything

this site is to vote(you can vote once a day for this project) pepsi is giving money for a project $5000 I think. I hope the woman who came up with the idea gets the funding. They deliver the bags to Walter Reed hospital and her goal is that every wounded soldier gets a bag. I havent made one yet, I just found it, but it looks similar to scrap bags and they go quickly.

IM SORRY I DON'T UNDERSTAND . WHAT DOES AN INJURED SOLDIER DO WITH A DUMP BAG. DO THEY MAKE THEM OR USE THEM AND IF THEY USE THEM WHAT DO THEY USE THEM FOR? SORRY I MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOMETHING

They are for wounded soldiers in the hospital. A solider named them "dump bags" ASG also calls them "Walter Reed bags". They are for them to have a place to put things like cell phone, magazine, glasses, book, or whatever they need to. They were modified from the pattern for a scrap bag that is attached to a pin cushion.
