Bland selvedge on fabric are long gone. Fabric companies are infusing creativity in the edges as well, making them exciting to sew with.

This is an easy technique and a fun way to use up leftover bits of your fabric that you otherwise might throw away!

What Is Selvedge Fabric?

A selvedge fabric refers to self-completed edges of the fabric, preventing them from fraying and unraveling.

STEP 1

I cut off the aesthetically pleasing side of the selvedge with about an inch of the fabric pattern as well, depending on the type of fabric.

Prepare Your Selvedge

STEP 2

For your selvedge fabric project to turn out best, I suggest taking a few minutes to come up with the order and placement of your selvedge strips.

Color Coordinated or Random?

STEP 3

Start with the selvedge edge (cut to your preference) and lay it down on your backing.
