Selvage Edge Skirt


Last week I saw a pillow made from the selvage edges of fabric. It was so cool! I went home and was going to make one. I was in the process of making a child's skirt from a pair of recycled blue jeans. So, instead of a pillow I made a skirt. Only one problem.... which granddaughter gets it!

    Oh, I definitely agree with Yvonne - you need to make one for each g-daughter! Can I be your g-daughter? Heehee..... It's simply amazing!

    WOW Paulette, this is so cool!
    One ?? don't this make for a lot of seam allowances on the back of this skirt? Trying to picture this in my mind for the comfort sake. I have a 5 year old grand daughter that has dozens of pairs of blue jeans that aren't much good as the knees are gone but I could recycle them into some pretty adorable skirts instead of chucking them to the landfill.
