A couple of months ago, I discovered the Selvage Blog, http://selvageblog.blogspot.com/. I decided that I had to start saving my selvages too when I saw some of the amazing creations. I was particularly inspired by some of the quilt blocks made with selvages and decided to make a similar design on a cushion for my sewing chair once I collect enough. My brand new selvage stash is pretty minimal since I only started collecting them about two months ago. When I think of all the selvages that I have cut off and thrown away in the past it makes me so sad! Anyway, people have been sharing pictures of their selvage stashes. This is how I am collecting mine, in a cute basket on the knob of the dresser that sits beside my sewing machine and holds my fabric.
I too have only just started collecting selvages. It is very sad to think of all the selvages that have been thrown away. Your little basket is a lovely display of your growing selvage collection.
ReplyDeleteYour basket is soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteFor some crazy reason I saved selvedges from day 1. I even started a project, but it became a failure.
