Say It Amongst Selvedge


I've been collecting selvedges for years. So when our boy Pete turned 10 I decided to brand a infinite tabular array runner to larn amongst our infinite themed party.

We had lots of fun amongst brilliant colours, costumes too glow-in-the-dark toys.


I decided to 'go for modern' too conduct sew the tabular array runner. I used glow inwards the night NiteLite Extra Glow thread from Superior Threads too hence roughly brightly coloured variegated threads from the Rainbows range. I similar how the conduct stitches showed the i inch color change.


By choosing dissimilar words from the selvedge labels I was able to write a birthday message to Peter.

Did y'all know that selvage tin endure spelled 2 ways? Since I started next Karen Griska's selvage blog I've been saving selvages. When nosotros decided to accept a Space themed political party to celebrate Pete's tenth Birthday, I wanted to brand a tabular array runner. I had roughly non bad textile that would endure fun to piece of job with. I equally good had a pile of selvedges that I'd been saving. I've been wanting to piece of job them but wasn't certain how.

Then I got an idea. Peter was turning 10. I sentiment that I could piece of job the color dots on the selvedges that went upwards to 10. And, of course, count downs from 10 went good amongst the infinite theme.While I was counting dots I started finding roughly fun words too it occurred to me that I could slice them together to brand a message. Martha is such an odd name, I couldn't believe my luck when I came across it on the border of roughly Rowan fabric.

 In the destination I was able to 'say it amongst selvedge' but for fun.
