Carolyn's Dyed Selvages



Carolyn Hosier of Des Moines, Iowa (Lee Prairie Designs blog) has made some fun things with her selvages. She says, "I have also tan died the selvages and used other dyes to change the color of them just to give another look! I plan to dye some selvages with green dye and make small Christmas trees to applique on placemats." Dying is a great idea!

Beautiful work! I love the idea of dying them too.

Her little projects are adorable, are they needle books? I agree, dying is a wonderful idea and I can't wait to see her applique' Christmas Tree. Hugs...

I'm lucky to be the recipient of one of Carolyn's adorable selvage needle books, complete with scissors tucked into their scissors guard. I'm a lucky lady, and she's a very creative lady.
