Not scraps, cabbage.
 

I found a lady on YouTube who makes period costumes. I think she specializes in Victorian dress. Her name is Bernadette Banner. She calls her leftover scraps of fabric "cabbage." She has a basket that she calls her "cabbage patch." She says that is how scraps were referred to back in the day.

I have lots of cabbage.

Lol! I like that, and I have my share of 'cabbage' too.

Wow! I'm a farmer with a pretty healthy crop. : )

Bank notes (folding money) are sometimes referred to as lettuce or cabbage - those scraps do indeed represent money "invested" in our hobby.

Haha!!! :D

Ditto!

Ohhh, I've just started watching her videos as well, I enjoy her videos and admire her skills! I like the name 'cabbage'! I'll now call my scrap pile 'mon petit chou', I guess! :D

ummm…..if this isolation stuff stays in place for long enough....I may be using my "cabbage" for toilet paper!

Yes, my cabbage patch is vast and some have been around long enough to be considered sauerkraut!

Sewingpup--many many many moons ago, every outhouse had an out of date Sears and Roebuck catalogue. It served two purposes. One of them was reading material. Thus ends our history lesson for the day. :eek: :p

My cabbage has gone to seed and is taking over my quilt garden.

I am in the process of using tons of cabbage to make yet another basket weave or two quilts for donation.
