Does anyone else keep their selvedge strips? I just started and I think they look really great used in this way, as a tag, or to label what you've made with the fabric.
I pulled my little bits of fabrics from this basket that holds the scraps I am not using for my bottled rainbows quilt project -- it used to be full!
It's like a little functional collection of what's left from my most favorite projects. I know it's super scrappy, but I like that in this case.
Oh, and I hope you do too -- I plan to give one away to one of my followers soon!!! So, be sure to stop back!

fun pincushion ! i keep all of my fabric scraps & i keep them in a large pickle jar which is starting to overflow !
ReplyDeletethis is so cute! i've been wanting to make a pincushion lately and I now feel very inspired. thanks!
ReplyDeleteSO funny - I am not much of a sewist ( I wish I was) but I do keep the selvage - I always hated throwing it out for some reason and this is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the label on the pin cushion plus the patchwork design!! You have an amazing eye. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I sew wish I knew how to sew. I'd love to make something similar - but bean baggish for my son.
ReplyDeleteGreat little project! I love how it turned out!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a sewer and have been for years, but have never kept my selvages....but I might be rethinking that after seeing your great pin cushion!!
p.s. I'm now going to be stalking my Homegoods trying to find my dress form a companion! ;-)
I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to sew, even if I don't have a machine up and going. My handsewn potholders turned out so cute, except for the final seam. I'll get it through trial and error. It's nice to have something that I made for my own kitchen.
Cute! I need to do this!!
ReplyDeleteNever thought about using the selvage for anything!! Clever!
ReplyDeletethat is a good idea! I should make one for my mom. thanks.
ReplyDeleteReally cute! And what a fun way to use up leftovers fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! What a great use of your extra fabric!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thanks for sharing!

The pin cushion is great.
ReplyDeleteSaw you on the etsy blog team.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable pin cushion! I love how it uses "trash" and recycles into something cool!
Yes, I definitely keep my selvages and actually categorize them into "themes." and I'm doing the Bottled Rainbows too!
ReplyDeleteSo I am not keeping my selvedges because I just didn't see myself cutting off the extra part of the print to make them worthwhile for a selvedge project. HOWEVER, keeping them just for labeling - that I should do!
ReplyDeleteYour pincushion is adorable.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your question, yes I keep my selvages and make things from them. I've done business cards, a child's skirt, and most recently a bag from selvages.
You should check out this blog all about selvages, it is one of my favorites

What a great idea! I had NOT been saving my selvedges, but now I am going to begin. I need more space!
