Call me crazy!!?!? Well maybe just a little.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm participating in the Call Me Crazy hop hosted by MooseStash Quilting.
For years I would save the selvages off of my fabric.
I had bags of cut off selvages that I was sure I would make into a project inspired by Karen Griska and her blog.
So what did I make that is a little bit crazy? Making projects from these little strips of selvages has been a little bit crazy for me.
I started small with a pin cushion....
Then I thought I would make a garment...

Although not made from selvages, the craziest thing I ever made was this little man....
Thank you Joan for the challenge. Be sure to visit the other participants of Call Me Crazy blog hop!

Your selvedges work is really creative. 'Love the little shirt cuff pin keep! Very cute.
Your selvage projects are crazy-impressive! I wouldn't be brave enough to try to work with those thin pieces.
I love selvages, and you made so many fun thing with them. Thanks for new ideas.
Oh my goodness I have a huge ceramic crock full of selvages just waiting for me to do something with them. It's my "one of these days" projects! That apron is so darn cute. But that pinny from a mans shirt cuff. He has me smiling from ear to ear!
Neat selvedge projects! And that "cuff" pincushion is adorable. Thanks for sharing!
I've never done anything with selvedges beyond giving them away. What a great set of examples of what can be done with them by a crazy person. And your cuff man is priceless. MY first smile of the day, and I'm sure it will bring many more smiles
What fun! I love the apron! But the mug warmer out of the shirt cuff is wonderful! I love that kind of out-of-the-box stitching!! :)
I've always thought it was crazy to save selvedges, but you managed to make them into some lovely projects. They all look amazing! That little guy made out of shirt is definitely crazy looking, but so cute. Thanks for sharing you craziness with us, Jocelyn!
Love your selvedge edge projects! I must start saving mine. I am always so impressed by the way they look in quilting projects. And your little cuff man is adorable!
Such a clever idea to use the cuff of a sleeve! Thanks for sharing all your crazy projects.
Very nice! I've not saved selvedges, but your projects are inspiring enough to make me want to begin doing that too.
You really aren't crazy - too much. I, also, save selvages; I'm so glad to see all that you created. They are crazy wonderful. I'm especially crazy about the apron!
My friend made several things with her selvedges. I just inherited her selvage bag (similar to yours) and her selvedge stash. I like the 'cuff' man. He is cute!
Now those are crazy clever projects! Love them!! xx
I've made several selvedge projects, but adore that apron! What a cute idea to use those cuffs as well.
Haha I love your Crazy Cuff Pincushion - what a fun idea. And your selvedge sewing is great too, I've saved some, but not yet sewn with them.
Nice work! The bag is especially appealIng.
Thanks for sharing all your projects! I really like the selvedge bag and the cuff pin cushion!
