I love all these projects. I had fun designing and making them—from choosing the fabrics and selvages to sewing down the bindings. Now it’s your turn to get creating. Whether you have just a few selvages (so far at least) or a giant pile, there’s a project here to try. Make several items and soon your selvage collection will be sewn into edgy pieces to display throughout your home.

It’s time to turn your trash into your treasure.

Sewing machine on. Presser foot down. Ready. Set. Go!
