Just thought I ask to see if ya'll are saving your selvages for this? I'll post a supply list the closer we get...BUT start saving those selvages NOW!!  I'll be showing how to make a 20oz water bottle cover that looks like this... ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving.

Oh man! I WAS? but my room was getting so messy...how long are the pieces and is that an eyeglass case? | |||

Hmmm...seems I gave someone a length of selvage at COF Branson...Wonder who that was? I'll have to go through my stash cut the trim off what's in there....

Sherry, I wouldn't know who'd that be...LOL!! This is a 20 oz water bottle cover/carrier. I think the longest piece of selvage is about 12"-14" I think...but don't know why you couldn't piece them together if ya wanted. Sew Happy, that's why I'm posting this early...so everyone that wants to make this can save some selvages b4 hand! I can also post the supply llist ahead of time if anyone wants me to.... ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving.

I like to keep my selvages on my fabric but can I make strips the same or approximate widths and do the pattern anyway? | |||
|

Paus, if u used strips and do this the way I made it, then you'll have raw edges...you might be able to zig-zag the edges but it would defeat the purpose of making it with the selvages, wouldn't it? ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving.

How wide are they? I have saved some but I used to cut them just the width of the selvedge. Erma  Craft Happens! | |||

I've never sewn anything with selvages so I guess I didn't know how you work with them. ETA: I didn't know you need a finished edge.This message has been edited. Last edited by: paus4quilts, | |||

Erma, I like to cut into the fabric at least a 1/4" but 3/8"-1/2" is best {when cutting off the selvage edge from my fabric}. If you look closely {at the water bottle cover posted above} you can see a small bit of the fabric color showing in each strip. IF you don't have enough selvages then ask your friends for some...that's how I got most of mine! ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving.
