Kim's Selvage Sewing Machine Cover


Kim Redlin from Phoenix, AZ has made a selvage cover for her sewing machine. Didn't it come out nice? She enjoyed arranging the selvages. Notice how she shows hardly any of the printed fabric? Everyone has their own signature style in selvage arranging. The periwinkle edging looks great too. Nice job, Kim!

P.S. Kim says it's been 115 degrees in Phoenix! That makes it hard to go anywhere, except the fabric store. In that case, she finds a way! I call it good sewing weather. :)

    Thanks for showing this, Karen. We can see how it really can be attractive on a large piece, to use the selvage without the print. Kim did a skillful job. Does Kim have a blog or website?

    I KNOW Kim and not only is she super creative - she is a super awesome friend! I envy all her talent - and yes, summers here in Phx, are made for sewing, reading, surfing the internet, or anything else inside! WAY to go KIM!
