Selvedge

June 25, 2008 by Qalballah

Uh no. Not the magazine. Just selvedge. That pretty stuff at the edge of fabric that I just can’t bring myself to throw away.

So I don’t.

I keep it. And I always have done. Question is: what to *do* with it…?

Some clever people have come up with uses for it - very beautiful pieces of art.

But me? I’m stumped… any ideas?

Til the lightbulb moment comes, I’ll just keep adding to the stash insha’allah…

Salams,
Why not make a selvage quilt?

Simply stitch and flip

Oh I just realised with a selvage quilt, it’s not stitch and flip; you just overlap the strips!

I never throw them out either and have been stumped as to how to use them.

Somewhere I saw someone make an iPod case out of the scraps. I can’t remember where I saw it, but it was pretty cool! Someone else made pom-poms with it. HTH!
