I have had a bag of Selveges hanging around for ages. I cut them off as they are good to show people how to colour blend. But I also love the funk of selvedge items. When I go out and about quilting I always dump everything into the bag that has the big mat in it. Now all is in order (except I have realised that I do not have a measuring tape in that lot) and I can just pick it up and go.
I used the same material for the lining that I used for my travelling iron. Nothing like a matching set! This was almost finished a week ago and it has taken me that long to get the last bits done.

I love this!
ReplyDeleteReally cute. I love working with selvages.
ReplyDeleteSweet! That's really nice! I just toss all my junk in whatever bag I find. Should probably work a little harder at it.
ReplyDeleteI need one of these! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea... love the selvages.
ReplyDeleteLesson: NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been keeping my selvedges for a while, but don't have enough for a quilt top yet (the original plan). This bag would be perfect for me, as I carry my handstitching, crochet and knitting to my Aunty's on the second floor, then back up here to Mum's on the ninth (where I'm semi-permanently 'couch-surfing' for now). I've been using grocery store ecological bags, but the tools often work their way to the bottom. I'll have to dig out my edges when I get the chance . . . thanks for the inspiration!
can't wait to see what you do. Make sure you blog it.
DeleteI have a plastic bag FULL of selvedges
ReplyDeleteOne day I may actually get around to using them
Fantastic use of 'scrap'
That's a great way to use selvedges...and very fitting to use in a sewing bag....I have a huge one like your's I made many years ago....one day I'll get around to updating it :))
ReplyDeleteI like it alot - especially the use of selvedges! one more thing I can do with my growing collection :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to keep your selvedges.
