Fusions Selvages for Organizing |
I have a confession. I adore seeing what other quilters have done with their fabric selvages. It's a secret hobby of mine. I've been following Karen at
Selvage Blog for years! At first I collected my selvages for a fellow quilter, but now I keep them for myself. I always figured I'd like to make a spider web quilt some day. Perhaps like this
one. Yet recently my serger has been working over time dumping thread bits all over my lap as I sew. Sure I could be more careful about being tidy, but instead I've been lusting for my own Serger Thread Collection Bag. The more I looked, the more dull and boring I thought they all were. Really, why use a single fabric when instead I could make it to would showcase something I really love?
I started on this little sewing machine organizer yesterday using the selvages from the blue Fusions fabrics my friend
Vicki gave me when I first took over my spare bedroom and made it a sewing studio. A sewing room warming gift if you will. Most of those fabrics were made into the waves of my
Children of the Sea Quilt but I quietly kept the selvages, knowing someday I'd use them.

Vicki is always a wonderful inspiration to me when I'm dreaming up new projects - or trying to figure out how to quilt them so perhaps I should place the phone in one of those pockets?
Thanks for stopping by!

That's a brilliant way of using them. Did you have a pattern or did the idea come from your own brain?
What a great idea for using the selvages and I love how all those blues look so great together.
Great job! Those blue selvages are beautiful, and they "go" with your sewing machine too. :)
Very cute!
Saw this on the Selvage Blog today - expanding your horizons!
