Call for suggestions on leftover tartan fabric

Unlimited uses for the smaller bits if you have a bit of sewing skill.

I had a family tartan scarf beset by some pesky moths. After freezing the cloth to remove any remaining evildoers, I used the remaining portions for hat badge flashes, a permanent pocket square for a sport coat (the front pocket being non-functional), a new bow on an otherwise uninspiring hat band, etc.

Anything you want to add a bit of family color and embellishment to an existing garment, go for it.

For the larger square, perhaps the top to a tam? Hem the edges and use it for a small table piece on special occasions?

Pocket squares, or Vest, all good ideas. Leftovers invite creativity.
If you have a lightweigt windbreaker, line it and use velcro tabs to hold it in place so you can convert back for milder weather.

Glue a small piece of tartan cloth over your luggage tag(s) makes it easy to identify your luggage.

I have a piece the same size that I was thinking of getting made into a cap by a hat maker.

A year or two ago, I bought some stuffed animals (Scotty Dogs, as I remember) that were made of woolen tartan cloth. They looked sharp, and the kids that I bought them for liked them.

I used my scraps to make kilt koozies for my friends. See this old thread:

This is awesome! =) I'm envisioning kilted beer mugs very soon in my future. Thanks for this!

I think there's enough for a waistcoat, but not one cut on the bias. It depends on how big a boy you are.
