And so it grew to this -
And finally it became this -
This is a project I've been wanting to make for as long as I have been saving selvages. I based it on a pattern that was in an old copy of McCall's magazine. I made a couple of changes to the pattern, but I'm so happy to finally make my Selvage tote. I'm telling you, those string blocks are so addicting.Please don't forget this is the last day to sign up for my SewMamaSew Giveaway.
I will close the comments tonight. And if you are visiting or a new follower, I hope you will come back again :-) Giveaway is closed.

Well isn't that bag adorable?!? I adore bags and that one is so unique. I might need to start saving selvages!
How clever a tote to create, Jocelyn. Have never seen one before. Love it!
Have a beautiful holiday ... please pray for our troops that serve us, & those that have gone before us.
TTFN ~

I always forget to either save them, or to cut them wide enough. I'm used to just trimming them right along the edge of the selvage. But this bag is so cute, I think I'm going to really start making an effort!
So cute! I have never made a string quilt - I kind of find it daunting. However, I just might do this! Thanks for sharing!
Commitment pays off! Love it...
I am so impressed - I love it!
i love that bag
I love that tote...one day when I have time, it's on my list!
What a cute tote!
You did a superb job, Jocelyn!
That's just totally cool!
Your selvage bag looks great! I'm saving selvages too but I haven't decided what to make yet.
I love your bag! I have been saving my selvages and I may have to make a bag.
Hugs,
Donna
How fun is that??? Love your tote!
I bought a book on selvedge quilts at a used book store recently - never occurred to me to save those! I am now though!
Gorgeous tote! :)
Lovely bag :-)
That's so clever. It's the first time I've seen something made from selvedges that I've liked.
The selvage tote is so different .A great idea I love it.thanks for sharing the photos of Quilts on Plum Lane .
Hi, you've won the Sew, Mama, Sew! giveaway on my blog.
Can you email me your name and address so I can post the buttons to you?
What a beautiful bag! Would you believe I have only recently started saving my selvages, hope to make something as neat as this someday!
What a great use for all those selvages - and such a cute bag! Whoop whoop!!
That's amazing! Well done!
The tote is adorable! I really want to do a selvage project eventually.
what a sweet tote ... and the selvages are so coordinated!!! when i finally start using mine it will be a real across-the-decades mix.
I'm addicted to string blocks too! I have told myself that I cannot make a "regular" block until my two shoeboxes of thin scraps are empty. If I'm not vigilant, I will be overrun by scraps that I can't bear to throw away. Your tote is just lovely. I'm going to turn my blocks into a quilt.
That bag is great! Love it... :)
This is great! What a fab way to use selvedges :)
