It’s Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day again! If you’re visiting for the first time, thanks for checking out my blog! I hope you’ll stop back again or add my feed to your blog reader! Here’s a little mosaic of a few recent projects:
I’ve been saving my selvedges for a year because many of them are just too cute to throw away, but I don’t actually intend to do anything with them. So if YOU want to make something with them (this picture is just a couple–there’s a big bag with lots more), they are all yours!
If you would like to win a big bag of selvedges, just comment below!
felicity - Ooooh now those look like fun! Thanks for a great giveaway, and for the inspiration in your blog. I’m a happy follower.
charlotte - I could use these! I plan to make a sewing machine cover with selvedges appliqued on but I don’t have nearly enough. I do have a naked sewing machine!
Charise Randell - oooh….I’d love them. I’m saving mine for a spiderweb quilt!!

Kirsten in Oslo - Wow what a great giveaway! I just started collecting my first selvege 2 hours ago lol – I was checking the net to see how much to cut extra and decided to cut 1 1/2 inch into the fabric. But I am realising that this collection will take time. You have been on my blogroll for a long time and I always get inspired when you post!
Hugs from Norway!

Mom C - I visited your blog when you had a ton of the selvage projects you’d made posted. Absolutely amazing! I like to sew 2″ and under strips together and see what I can do with them. I love all the mix of color I get but I’d never thought of using the selvage. Since seeing your blog I’ve been more selective about saving the good edges but I’m a long way from having enough to do anything. Your bag would be nice. Thanks
