EASY DIY instructions on how to make a unique 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}
- {OK, so you can see I didn't even pre-iron my fabric, and it still turned out cute! It is such a forgiving method!.....YAY!!!!}
- 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.
- 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 Poppy Flower is WAY cute too!!!!
