At the quilting class that I am team teaching, someone dropped off about 6 big boxes of upholstery fabric samples. Some of the samples were about 12"x18", some larger 24"x24".
Some of the samples are ugly, while some are very nice. I have used this type of fabric to make over the shoulder carry-alls in the past. It seems such a waste not to use these samples.
They make great seat mats for the car. I use them in my dolls houses.
I sewed some very heavy samples together for my son who uses them to kneel on when repairing the car or his bikes. He keeps one in the trunk. They make good tool pouches.
Retired male. Next birthday will be 78. Spend most of my time carving and quilting. Retired early (51) from a major university; so I am gettin this retirement thing down real good. I talked myself into wood carving. My daughter talked me into making quilts.

Thanks for the suggestions. The first thing I am making is a new over the shoulder carry-all. After that I'll try some carving tool rolls.
