    This is the first time I have started a new topic. I have replied to a few on going but never posted. So if I do this wrong please forgive.
    I have been saving the selvedges from my fabric for a long time.
    I now have a large trash bag full.
    Does anyone have some new ideas as to what I can do with these.
    So far I have made squares by sewing them on muslin. But I would like something really new.
    I know there are some very creative people out there.
    Thank you in advance for your ideas.
    Pat

    That's the blog! Be sure and go back thru the archives and see the dress and the chairs.

    I saw someone make them into house-shapes. Each was very charming. They are on the website of Empire State Quilters.

    My cat mat is featured on the side bar of the selvage blog. Look on the right hand side and look way down. It's a black and white cat on a mat that I made. I make cat mats all the time for all the cats I know.

    Ilove the lampshade. I was going to buy a new one for the lamp on my cutting table, but with this idea I could easily fix this one up to be functional!!!
