I am giving them away for Christmas. The are fun to work with. I have friends buying fabric when ever they go out of the country at least 1/2 yard and I use those salvedges also. I think I am addicted..................... it could be worse. heheheh

I'm a "selvageholic" too......I've made a tote, potholders, pincushions, postcards, etc. and have three large glass jars that I picked up at a thrift shop full of selvages. Now that I have started saving, I cannot throw them away. I have so many now, that I am concentrating on some of the cuter ones at present. Of course, all my friends save for me too. I also make string blocks with them and then use as desired....it's fun and fits the budget.....LOL! Items I make from them are perfect gifts for my sewing friends.
