I LOVE the selvage pillow! I am so glad to see I'm not the only one that loves the selvage ends!Save the selvages-Sample Project

Use the selvage scraps from fabric for their own projects. Super cute idea.

Selvage Shoes Tutorial. Very cool! I am so making some of these!!

Cute! Feathers are a great way to use selvages - the ones with fuzzy edges would add some fun texture here. Love it!

Haha, Kaja, you can have both! You know how to make them!

Karen, I know! Just the time to make the "fabric" is amazing. Well, there's gathering all the selvages, too. I would ask every sewing friend I have to save up for me. Maybe they begin with small projects and keep going to bigger and bigger things. I can't see starting out with the idea of covering a chair!
