Patrizia Rossini of Rome, Italy made these beautiful bags using selvages. The top photo is a bag made from the selvages of Japanese fabrics, and the bottom photo is a bag made from African fabrics! What soft, warm earth colors. Weaving the selvages is such a creative idea. And the sturdy selvage makes a strong bag.
Brava, Patrizia!
Beautiful bags, and what a brilliant idea! I may give that a try - still have lots and lots of selvages.
ReplyDeleteIt's a curious fact: The more selvage quilts you make, the more your selvage stash grows!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Beautiful bags.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...it looks woven, is it?
ReplyDeleteLove these bags...what a great idea...thank you for posting them.
ReplyDeletePatrizia sent me a quilt for the Abruzzo's project, she is one fun lady, i know her just from an e mail exchange about the quilt she sent, but i can tell you she is energetic and does, as you can see, beautiful work...bags are a big thing in the quilting world here in italy! Love ~ Roberta ~
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea - they are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm glad you appreciated my bags. I like not to waste any piece of fabric and weaving selvages (or
ReplyDeleteribbons) is a very relaxing work. Patrizia (but people knows me as ziaross !!)
