Wanna make your own Selvage Edge Purse...????

YOU TOTALLY CAN DO IT!!!

It is easy and FUN fun FUN!!!!

Here we go:

Some simple instructions on how to make your own selvage bag....

Isn't it so fun to make something out of something we would normally discard? I think so!

• Save your selvage edges {or just cut them off the collection of fabrics you already have}
  

• Cut 1/2 inch into the print of the fabric. {some people do more, I like to be consistent and do 1/2 inch each time}

• Cut your purse pattern pieces out of white cotton
• {use the FREE Aerika Pattern, available from CrystelleBoutique....!!!!,or your own favorite pattern}

• Draw parallel lines on the cotton to keep you going straight as you go along

•  Place one strip of selvage edge on at a time, and sew it in place

• Be sure to overlap the unfinished edge of the previous selvage edge with the finished edge of the current one

Not bad, is it?
You can SO do this!!!!

• I really love the way it turns out. See another view right here

• This is a very green, reused, recycled, re-purposed {all that good stuff..... :) } project for you and your friends and kids to do
• I used the free Aerika Purse Pattern {a Crystelle Boutique original creation} to make this selvage edge bag....

The Poppie Flower is WAY cute too!!!!  Instructions on how to make it are right here


Have fun cutting and sewing!
