Fabric Remnants

A friend from church gave me a bag of Home Decorating/upholstery type fabric remnants. I was excited! (Thank you Mrs. R.!!) They are all different sizes, shapes,and colors:

These are some of my favorites. :)


I'm not too sure about this one though...


Chocolate silk!


'Swirlies'


Stripes and plaids...I especially like the raspberry stripe piece.


Elegant


Shiny windowpain


Amy calls this the 'Blue Jane' fabric! :)

Any ideas what I could make with them? I'm assuming they are probably in the 'dry clean only' category... so I was thinking they would be good for pillows or purses/tote bags, but could they be used in sewing clothing, for an accent or trim? (Non of the pieces are big enough for a dress or anything.)

What did you make from them?

Thank you Adina! I made some birds and a tote bag with some of the fabric. I think there are pictures of both on this blog somewhere... probably under the label of 'sewing'. :)
