First thing I will be doing is pressing the wrinkles out of all of the selvages I plan to use. I will be back in a couple of weeks to show you what I'm making with them (spoiler alert: feathers) and a little tutorial on how I'm doing it.

If you've never sewn with selvages before, here a some tutorials on sewing with them (check out Quilty Habit's list today too!):

Quilt As You Go with Selvages (batting stabilizer)
Using Paper as a stabilizer
Using interfacing for a stabilizer (plus a cool tutorial for a wheel/dresden like block!)
You can also go browse our Pinterest board for project inspiration and tutorials!
We want to see your selvages and how you store them! Write a blog post and link up with us on Friday, or if you're on IG you can share using #selvagealong!
Oh yay! Of course you are making feathers; I can't wait to see how you do it!! I really like the fabric 2nd down from the top - and speaking of liking... as I was putting away my laundry this morning I realized that for the past 4 days I wore nothing but teal. I thought you could appreciate that. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for this as I've just started saving my selvages in the last couple months. I better get to ironing mine as well!
ReplyDeleteExcited to get started, I've given the Selvage Along a shout out here on my facebook page- Chris :D
