I first made the travel size (6" X 5-3/4"), going for a fun look with these bright colors.
Inside
Several interior storage compartments.
Another pocket on the back.
After making it, I decided I'd prefer the big size (7" X 8-1/4").
Having made the bag once made the second time easier, so I pushed myself to try it with selvages. Boy, do I love this! Sewing with selvages is fun. And this bag is perfect for traveling.
Front with a zipper pocket near the top.
Inside with another zipper pocket.
Interior pockets.
Back with a pocket.
I think I could become addicted to selvage-sewing. I've got heaps of selvages since I've been collecting them for about ten months. I cut off a one-inch strip from each printed or color-windowed selvage.
I'm wearing this travel bag from Des Moines to Denver to San Francisco to Sydney. Might it be a conversation-starter? I'll let you know.
Linda, I love your Selvage bag. Hope you arrived safely in Oz.

Such dedication to Friday Flaunting!!! I think this is the first one I'm aware of that was made while the flaunter was in mid-air over the Pacific Ocean! Love the selvedge bag, by the way :-)) Looking forward to seeing it in real life soon.
ReplyDeleteThey are both so lovely, cheerful and different to anything you can buy.
ReplyDeleteHow long did it take to make one?
I love the bag made out of the selvages. Last weekend, at a quilt show, I bought a very cute book mark made out of selvages. Fabric on one side and stripped selvages on the other. So if you have any little pieces left here is a use for them!
ReplyDeleteCame over from The Selvage Blog and was hoping to see the inside of the bag ~ just wonderful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag, hope you have a wonderfully fabulous time back in OZ.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip. I lived in Sydney for three years in the early 90's and learned to quilt there. I love the selvage bag - have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your salvage bag. Looks perfect for your trip.
ReplyDeleteLove both bags, but that selvage one is tops! Good to know you have arrived safely. :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed your bag blog Linda. Just looking through your blog and I found them. I love the bags, They are so neat and looks like perfect stitching.
