Jacquard samples
Hi everyone!
A co-worker just brought me a bag full of jacquard samples. They are various sizes, from about 8" square to about 12"x16".
Does anyone have any recommendations of a good way to "repurpose" these?
Thanks!!

How about handbags or tote bags? You might have to sew the smaller pieces together to make larger ones but they would be very sturdy with this fabric. Or even wallets or small zipper bags like cosmetic bags. Looks like I've got bags on the mind!

The tote that's my February UFO is from drapery samples. After I had the base sewn in a rectangle, I ironed on some vinyl to keep it clean. Now I'm going to get it sewn together...

Thank you ladies for the ideas!!
I have a serger, so that will help keep the edges from ravelling.
Hmmm, pillows and totes, and even a "crazy quilt" type of deal.
I think I can do that!! I bet this booger will be HEAVY though!! :P
