30+ Ways to Incorporate Piecing into Children's Clothing

 This week for our Sew Your Stash event we're going to be sharing a whole bunch more ideas for using up your stashed fabric!  

Remember if you're sewing from your stash be sure to enter our HUGE giveaway here!

Today we're going to focus on 30+ ways to incorporate piecing into children's clothing.  What is piecing you ask?  Piecing is taking small (and sometimes very small) pieces of fabric and sewing them together to create a garment.  Piecing is the PERFECT way to use up smaller cuts of fabric from your stash!

Prepare to be inspired!!!

Audrey also made a Fawn Face mask, which while technically not piecing, used very small pieces of fabric!  And we can't go on without a collective sigh for that beautiful Fashionista Jacket.
