Editor’s Note

Planning this project has been both a wonderful, enjoyable experience as well as a challenging and difficult journey. There

are those inevitable times when you are painstakingly trying to come up with an idea, only to find yourself continuously hitting a brick wall; but such times are counteracted when you find inspiration for a great idea that makes you so excited that you could jump up and dance. I have been lucky enough to share these delights and hardships during this project with the book’s author, Cherie Lee.

After Cherie finished her 2010 work on handmade indoor shoes, she wanted to strike again while the iron was hot, so she immediately set out to start on a new handmade project. Cherie and I began brainstorming until, after hours of throwing ideas back and forth, we came up with the idea of handmade gifts using fabric remnants.

The nineteen projects in this book appeal to a variety of different interests and needs. The author’s key motive for this book is to reach out to a more diverse audience with the best yet of her cloth-work books. In creating this varied set of gifts, the most important issue that was resolved is one of the most common problems constantly presenting itself to handmade products: what do you do with your leftover scraps of material? Those last fragments of cloth left over after you have finished your other projects are perfect for the bags and accessories

in this book.

I hope that you will find that each of these projects can

help to serve as sincere and meaningful gifts for yourself

or for those you love.
