who can't love selvages??:)Here's some notion bags for the quilter on the go...I bet I have no more then 25cents in these bags..for the zippers were recycled off a medicine zipper bag..

That's so fun!

Thanks...:)And, oops...I don't know how I have this on here twice...oh, well, I live to aggrivate admin.!;)Skeat

Those are awesome!!! Way to recycle!!! :D:D:D

Wow those are soooo cute. Did you have a pattern? Or just
sew them together? What a great idea. :thumbup: Thanks for sharing

Those are really cute! You are so clever!

Clever idea!

What great selvage bags! I think I'm starting to like selvages better than the actual fabric!

Great bags. I can think of lots of uses for them.

Envy those who can put in those zippers. They always give me a hard time.

Love them ! Can't believe you have less than .25 in them :mrgreen:

I LOVE THEM ...THEY ARE SOOOOOO CUTE...
bopeep

So cute and such a great idea!

Awesome!! Don't ya just love upcycling!! You're little notion bags are too cute!

cute bags!!

Awesome!!
I wish I could do that...

No pattern...used the zippers I recycled as my measuring stick:)I believe they are 4" for each square...I marked a few lines to make sure I stayed straight with the selvages.
Made a lining that was already sitting in the bags when I slid the zipper side in between the lining and the outside selvage...then pinned in place and sew-sew-sew!! Once one side was sewn...I pinned the other side..then finished. That was it...I have no idea the proper way of sewing a zipper...for I was in wood/plastic shop class when everyone else was in sewing!:)But, I can tell you it is easy and quick doing it that way...right or not;)Hope that helps...Skeat

You so could do that!! Cut a piece of thin muslin or something like that....pencil in a few lines the direction you want to sew...I did mine at an angle...right off the center of point to point of muslin...then sew!:) I trim when the square is finished...then sew 2 for each side...then sew together leaving the top open...press 1/4" on top edge to inside...then lining...press too the 1/4"...slip zipper edge in on one side...sew...then do the other side..went quick..and, once you start sewing those selvages..you will be hooked!

Those look great!

Instead of a zipper, for those who can't or don't know how to sew a zipper in, could you use velcro?

That a great idea!

Looks like a fun project and a great stocking stuffer.

those are so way cool.

Awe, are those for me??? You really shouldn't have. Hehehe. They are too cute. I am gonna have to go thru my stash and cut off all selveges now so I can give it a try.

Those are sew cute!!!! I love them! :D And you could send me one if you want :roll: :roll:

They're adorable! Been saving all my selvages too since this summer! Can't wait to see what I come up with~ lol~ ;) Skeat, thank you so much for telling us how you made them. Don't know about the zipper part but velcro would be ez enough. It's worth a try if they look as cute as yours! Great job! :-D :wink:

Skeat

What a great idea & to think of all those selvedges I've thrown away LOL.

Tisha

love them.

Do you have a tut on how to put the zipper in the bags?

what a cute idea!!! love it, will have to try these sometime--after christmas

These are really nice. I like the angled selvages. I'm just starting to work with selvages, too.

Great bags!! What a good idea to use those selvedges.

What great little gifts. They are too cute.

What a brilliant idea Skeat - I love them! :-D

Looks great Skeat ~ I love the selvage bags.

I love them, and you took the pic on my birthday.

Okay so are fabric manufactures going to make selvages even wider so we can do more creative things with our throw aways?!!
