Scrap Happy Day - January 2026

I prepared this post ready for the 15th of December - and then forgot to post it!  So here it is for January.  And running late for that as well.  

The double bed top sheet on my father's king single bed was too wide, so I cut a 30cm or so strip from one side to stop it dragging on the floor when not tucked in.  That strip came in handy for lengthening the top sheet on our king size bed.  I like a generous fold with the top sheet over the blankets so adding the beige strip to the bottom of the green top sheet was an easy fix.  Now the turnover is a decent size, and we won't see the mis-match in the sheet.  This solution also saved me having to store the cut-off strip.  

Now to do something similar on the other top sheets for our king size bed.  

ScrapHappy is open to anyone using up scraps of anything – no new materials. It can be a quilt block, pincushion, bag or hat, socks or a sculpture. Anything made of genuine scraps is eligible (including food). If your scrap collection is out of control and you’d like to turn them into something beautiful or useful instead of leaving them to collect dust in the cupboard, why not join us on the 15th of each month? Contact Kate on katechiconi@gmail.com and she'll add you to the list.  We welcome new members. You don’t have to worry about making a long term commitment or even join in every month. Regular contributors will receive an email reminder three days before the event.
