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!!

All I can think of is some pillows. Are they washable??

I don't know - probably at least dry-cleanable.

Pillows is a good idea!! 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!

Soneone give me a bag of upholstery samples once and I cut them up and crazy-quilted them into a piano bench cover. Gosh, I think your samples would be nice as pillows or bags.

I was given several 12 inch samples and I just sewed them together and added a border and donated it to a rest home. It really turned out OK.

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

I made a table runner with the ones I got and it was beautiful because of all the different textures and deep colors. I took a chance and it washed great.

I received some upholstery samples that will be used to make floor cushions for my kids houses.
