My friend, Rachel, started to collect selvages a year or so ago. She saw a magazine article with some projects in it and then bought a book. I guess this is a hot new trend in the quilting world. She made a quilt earlier this summer with them and it was fabulous.
So, we had a sew day at her house recently and she shared her selvages! I made this cute little bag using Amy Butler's Swing Bag pattern.
You really can't see the bow very well but it's very cute. Then, Rachel said I needed to make a coin purse with the scraps. Well, I wasn't up to tackling a zipper, the snap almost did me in! So I made a little wallet.
I think its a very cute set and I can't wait to use them. The best part was it didn't cost a penny. I had the muslin in my fabric stash and Rachel gave me the black and white fabric for the bow from her extensive stash.
I've had the pattern for years and have used it many times. I just freehanded the wallet.
Very pretty..........
