Description:

If anyone wants to host a similar swap in the FF group, please feel free to borrow!

So who loves to sew and craft with fabric selvages? Time to increase your variety! For this swap, you'll send a partner 30 inches of clean cotton selvages. Pretty…simple!

  • Manufacturer markings (words, color codes, etc.) required. No plain selvages.

  • Selvages to be 1-2 inches wide/deep and at least 5 inches long. Send 30+ inches total (can be three 10-inch pieces, six 5-inch strips, or different sizes -- your call). Selvages shorter than 5 inches in length can be sent as extras only.

  • Mix ‘em up -- use 3+ different cotton fabrics! Sender’s choice. Have fun!

FYI ☆ I review all profiles. Not expecting issues, but I’m happy to angel if you’re flaked on. Simply let me know after you attempt resolution with your partner but ultimately rate them a 1. Problem Swapper FAQs

Having never made any selvedge projects myself....I'm wondering how many inches of good fabric (total width) is required for it to be usable??

Heirloom 02/ 1/2014 #

The selvage/selvedge should be 1-2 inches wide. I'll add that to the requirements above (thanks). As far as length, it depends on the project. Pin cushions don't take a lot, for example, but quilt blocks certainly can. The link above shows some projects.

Thanks for this swap. I have a good collection to pull from as I started saving them quite a while ago. I used selvedges to make a potholder for a 'polka dot' swap and my swap partner loved it.

I can see how that would be great for polka dots! Glad you joined the swap, Linda!
