Thread: How to use the salvage edges of fabric

I am looking for instructions and or projects on how to use the printed salvages edges. Potholders ?

Oh, you have no idea all the things people can come up with - Dresses, ottomans, lampshades, umbrella. An UMBRELLA!!!

Thanks everyone for getting me the help I need!

That dress is amazing!
The pattern for it is very nice. Not real complicated though I never liked collars.
Her attention to detail is apparent, and the amount of sewing involved in the finished product is mind boggling! Wow! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have saved the site! What terrific projects! I have recently started to collect my selvedges, so will be looking for a project in the near future!

I love these especially the dress!!

How about a Selvage Bag?

My wife made one. I’m not sure what bag pattern that she used, but there are several that would work. She made blocks as she accumulated selvage edges, and made the bag when she had enough blocks assembled.

Now, that is a great idea!

I have lots of selvages cut in WOF by 1.5" - 2.5" strips. A purse for fabric shopping or quilt shows. Wow, thank your wife for me, please. :-D
