Little purse. "Waste not, want not" granny said. A sweet lady saved her selvedges for me. I made this for her....front and back.

That is so cute! Did you embroider the wee birds? It's amazing what we do with the things many people discard! Thanks for sharing this with us. Avis

Got your message. Thanks!

Clever idea.
I have only ever kept them for tying things up,better than elastic bands which rot away.

Thank you. The birds were a freebie, but I don';t know if the site is allowed here.

Love the way you have matched the selvedges. I love them too and hate throwing them away. A very clever approach and a delightful embroidery design. Congratulations!

My ultimate plan is large pocket on quilt tote--then a bookcase quilt. Thank you.

What a good use of those selvedges! It's a cute little purse and the birds are just perfect for it.
