Using Leftovers

At the end of a meal, we take all that is left,

Wrap it up to consume the next day,

With the cycle repeating until all that food

Is devoured, but not thrown away.

 

Same with sewing a project – what fabric remains

When the quilt or the pillow’s complete,

Joins the remnants from previous stitchings I’ve made

So the next time, their patterns I’ll greet.

 

There are those who are savers and those who are not

But no matter which side you’ve embraced,

If you toss out your leftovers – fabric or food,

You have wasted what must be replaced.
