I needed something to put all my class gear in, so I stitched some selvedges I saved onto a muslin background and then used the pieces to put together this pouch. It's a variation on the noodle-head open wide pouch that I always use - I just didn't box the corners.
I quilted the panels onto regular batting, using Aurifil 28 weight thread on the top. I love the way the heavier thread has resulted in really nice defined stitches. I like making pouches this way because they feel soft and a bit more protective, but I don't have to much around with interfacing (which I kind of hate).

Beautiful! Love the detail and texture the quilting brings out...
I have a box of selvedge strips and this looks like a great way to show them off.
This looks really cute, could do with something similar for the all the notions I seem to gather around the sewing machine. Enjoy your trip - looking forward to reading all about it!
Lovely and a great idea!
muito bonito. parabéns!!!
That's so NEAT that you use the selvedges! It's so cute! :)
*gasp* that! That is what I need to do with my selvage! What a beautiful use of selvage and your quilting really pops on it especially on the bottom. What is that on the bottom BTW, is it Essex linen cotton?
