American Apparel Sells Bags-o-Scraps to DIYers

You learn something new every day, and today I learned that hip clothing retailer American Apparel is selling cloth scraps for $8 per bag—weird!

The order form for the American Apparel scrap bags, titled Bag-O-Scraps handily suggests some uses for the fabric such as, “making jewelery or accessories or a card for your grandma.”

Each Bag-O-Scraps comes with five fun and easy scrap projects for folks who like to DIY.

Nifty!
