I have wanted to have a go at making something using selvedges for ages, and today inspiration struck. I only had a small selection, but enough for a zipper pouch.
I put the linen on the top. Looking at it finished, I think I would adjust the pattern to show more of the selvedges next time. I really like the look, and feel very thrifty using them.
And the bottom.
It just needs a little something on the zipper, and then it can go to it's new home.
It's been terrible weather today, but thankfully no bushfires in our area. My thoughts are with those in fire affected areas.
Take care,
Susan x

ReplyDeleteHave been watching this terrible fire event unfold on TV ... stay safe xx
What a great idea! very handy little pouch. The bushfires are dreadful, hope they aren't near you. Just reading your other posts, had to laugh at the last one, my hubby has headed off to the GP as well, good time for sewing with no interruptions....
ReplyDeleteVery clever. Looks really nice with the linen.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with everyone you are a cleaver girl..
ReplyDeleteYour selvedge bag looks gorgeous, definitely a great project to make use of all those cute bits. I have been tempted lately to use some of the selvedge's I have been saving and this blog is definitely to blame http://selvageblog.blogspot.com.au/ because I "need" a pencil case!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cute! Of course anything with linen looks fab lol
ReplyDeleteClever you, it looks really lovely!!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I love this! What a great way to use up the selvedges. I have been collecting selvedges too, and had no idea what I was going to do with them. This is a perfect project.
ReplyDeleteThe little purse is fantastic Susan. I think there should be more selvedges on show too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely way of using your selvedges, I've been collecting them lately too. Glad to hear you are safe, you've been in my thoughts the last few days, I do so hope that the fire situation is under control soon. Take care....
ReplyDeleteI love this! Creative!!!
