Mia Ohberg from Sweden made these colorful zippered selvage bags. The smallest one is almost 3 inches wide. Look at those little flower buds on that bag! And all those bright flower petals on the biggest one. These fit one-inside-another like those Russian dolls.
This may be the most beautiful selvage arrangement I've ever seen (above)! I love pink and black together, and I'm a sucker for florals. You can see this bag opened below. Mia planned to use it for cosmetics, but she actually uses it to carry sewing supplies.
Mia has a big advantage when it comes to
collecting selvages. She owns her own quilt shop! She offers to cut customer's fabric into strips for them if they let her keep the selvages. "That's normal behavior, isn't it?" she asks. Mia, that sounds perfectly normal to us!
She made this tote for carrying supplies to quilt retreats. She thinks a quilt shop owner should do a little better than carrying paper bags to quilt events. Oh, this is
much better! Nice job, Mia.

ReplyDeleteWonderful projects. I love what she is doing with her selvages.
ReplyDeleteI think you meant "SWEDEN" there is only one "e" in Sweden not 2!
ReplyDeleteThose bags are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the larger tote bag. I need to come up with an idea for how I want to make my diaper bag. I just don't like any of the bags I see out there. The ones I like are waaaaaaay too expensive for something you're placing dirty diapers and soiled clothing in.
That larger tote bag would be perfect!
Thanks for the ideas! :)
These bags are beautiful!

Oh how great is that? Love the big one.
ReplyDeleteAre these bags all selvages or are they alternated with regular strips of fabric?
