Today we're looking at more creative selvage bags by Fernanda Gomes of Portugal. Above and below, she uses selvages and ribbons sparingly to add little messages and design flair.
I have a warm place in my heart for "Dick, Jane and Sally" (see the fabric on the left in the photo below) because I learned to read using that series of books. Somehow, reading "Run, run, run." wasn't boring, it was reassuring. :) I like the little cartoons on the pink background too.
Using selvages this way is so clever. I like the light and airy look she has created. And look at those handles!
Having a small selvage stash is no longer a reason not to make a selvage bag.
Wonderful job, Fernanda! Thank you for all the inspiration. It makes me want to head to my sewing machine right now.Remember, you can see her blog at: http://owlmania.blogspot.com/
Greetings and hugs to all our visitors from Portugal today!

Fernanda has such a beautiful style - I love it! so clean and simple and fresh and the bags are a great way to show this.

She had a briliant idea to use the "waste" part of fabric, and that's wonderfull!!!
Reuse and recycle!
