Something to use with stash
 

I had tons of scraps and being thrifty(or cheap skate) as my husband calls it I couldn't stand seeing all my beautiful scraps just laying around. I found a wonderful rag pocketbook made from 1/2" strips. It is a simple crochet stitch and very easy. Good" easy peasy rag bag" if interested. It is also a good way to buy the very cheapest fabric you can find and use it.

Can you share the pattern or tell us where you found it?

This is what I found in a search

This link gave me flashbacks to my Grandma. She made rag rugs the same way. She taught me how, but I didn't know I was crocheting for many years. I just knew that is how you make rugs. When I was in college, she would tear the rags, sew them together and roll them in balls for me. When I went to visit she would give me a bag of rag balls to work on. I made a rug so big that I had to lay it on the floor and sit in the middle of it to crochet.
Thanks for spurring the memory.

I found the pattern at www.laughingpurplegoldfishdesigns.com
