unclutterI'm taking fabric out of the bins to use for a skate bag instead of buying new.
The quilted external portions of the bag were scraps, but aesthetic scraps from one of those quilting cotton ribbon sets. They went together. There wasn't anything for the liner, inner dividers, or base.
There are (were) flannel and fleece scraps in the fabrics bin from other projects that are being used for liner now. Old scrap fabric is going onto the interior divider. A sturdy fabric from a recent samples purchase is going onto the base.
It's nice to actually use what's in there. The colours don't match exactly, but I did the best with what I had and most of those parts aren't going to be showing anyway. When it's done, it'll be better than keeping the ice skates and equipment in a reusable grocery bag.
