I call this my 'bag of many colors', and I just love it! I made the outer part entirely out of selvedges.

Nice job!!! I'm saving my selvages too. I want to make a sewing machine cover out of mine!

How clever you are! Always wondered what to do with "selvages". I have learned so much on the QB!!

GwynR 06-28-2011 07:19 PM

Oh, what a great idea! I have been saving my selvages too and wondering what to make with them.

Love it.

I save my selvages and used them as rope to tie things up with....

What a cute purse and clever idea to use those saved up selvages. Thanks for sharing.

sammygirlqt 06-28-2011 08:12 PM

Oh, sorry, I called it a purse also. It doesn't look big enough to hold a quilt by the picture but that is even better. Great use of your selvages.

HisPatchwork 06-28-2011 08:19 PM

I really should take a better picture, it is kind of blurred. Maybe I can have my DGD help me tomorrow. Maybe I can interest her in making one. She is a quilter too...has helped me since she was 4 yrs old and has made two lap sized quilts.
