How To Make Selvedge Fabric (make Fabric From Your Scraps Part 2)

"The days of bland selvedge on fabric are long gone. Fabric companies are infusing creativity in the edges as well, making them exciting to sew with. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through a fun way of how to make selvedge fabric. In addition, you’ll gain insight into making panels or pattern pieces of fabric to form quilt blocks, bag panels (or anything else you like!) from leftover fabric selvedge. This is an easy technique and a fun way to use up leftover bits of your fabric that you otherwise might throw away!"
