¡Hola! ¿Cómo es usted?
The Aerika Selvage Edge Bag is a REAL HIT!!!!
How do you like it...???
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!!!!
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....
Have fun cutting and sewing!
