I’d intended to sew some when we got home from dinner last night but after watching TV for a while, and then catching up on the computer I was tired – Keith had gone to bed hours earlier but I knew I wouldn’t sleep….so what did I do? Decided I should pull out those selvages I’d been saving and make some postcards. It was fun and I could have made more but I’m tired and I’m going to head to bed.
oh my, oh my, oh my!!! Waaay more than cute, cute, cute!!!I have been saving selvages for some time in the hopes of making a picnic quilt *someday*. Recently I decided not to do a whole big quilt and have decided to make smaller items: purses, ckbk and pocket calendar covers and etc. POSTCARDS!! I didn’t even think about postcards!!CUTE CUTE CUTE!Pam@http://www.pamgwillim.commycreativemind@pamgwillim.com
Some more stuff I’m just going to have to copy.
I have to ditto what zizzybob wrote. Are these real postcards that can be mailed?
mary those are darling! i save selveges to use selectively on library blocks as title bars for book spines and thought i was the only one who thought they were useful. you’ve opened up a whole new door for me!
Very, very fun! I just made one of the airplane folders…first try not so good but I think I’ll do better on my next one.
These are really, really cute! What a cute idea. I saw someone use them in a smallish purse too.
What a cute Idea! I’ve made some postcards with clothing labels, but now you have me cutting off all my selvages! Thanks for sharing!
