Easy sewing

When you are sick

But want to sew

What do you do?

I tried to organize my overflowing bin of selvages

I used to think I would make a quilt out of them

But who am i kidding

I cant use up FABRIC never mind selvages

Sooooooo

I pulled the best of what I have 

Layered 2 of them with pretty dots

And threw out a bunch of plain white selvages

I found some cute leaves and snowflakes in with those dots

Then i said hmmm i still have room on this strip

Let me pull selvages with words

And sewed a strip up

I cut the 3 of them 6x9 inches for three new mugrugs

See how cute?

Snowflakes

Now to find scrap binding and get em done

I always like new mugrugs.

Rich and i have a hefty stack of them now

But i prefer the non fancy ones as they are used and abused here

We have them on side tables near the bed for water at night

Or near our chairs for morning coffee or afternoon tea

I will use up the good pieces and throw out the rest 

No sense in being silly

I could use that drawer for good fabric stash

Maybe being sick will help me organize my stuff lol

What are you doing in your stash?

Do you save selvages?

What have you made with them?
