I love the cuff idea. The pockets absolutely would make a great wall hanging for extra sewing items. Show us what you come up with - you know us - we LOVE pictures.
I do as Bonnie does. Cut the cuffs off and cut away any seams. Then you have a usable strip for your scrap quilt. |
Make kids quilts and add a few pockets for their small treasures.

I also put in holey socks and anything else soft.

I have saved the pockets for a pocket quilt. My grandkids are past the stage where I would give it to them, but to put a little treasure in each pocket, and donate it to the appropriate cause would be wonderful. Or make a shirt quilt with just a few of the pockets here and there in it is another idea. I always clip the buttons for my "button box," but have no great ideas for the cuffs, unless you want to collect small squares for a postage stamp quilt.
