Salvage the Selvages

Thanks to some inspiration from the innovative and talented Jodie , I've been collecting selvages. Just bits and pieces, mind you, to try out some ideas.

Now that I've made them into 'yardage' I can get going on making them into the finished items. I had to share a peek at what they look like so far...
and I shall get busy with the next steps so that I can share some finished sewing projects with you shortly.

Can't wait to see what you make! I have been collecting them myself but I have a way to go before I have enough to sew together.

I saw a purse made out of these last week. Have fun with it.

Stop by my blog and check out the giveaway I am participating in starting tomorrow with about 40 others. There are some very nice gifts out there to be had!

Good luck!

A good idea indeed, i also keep lots of scrapsa in a box...
