The Seaman Mom shows you how to turn saved selvage strips into brand-new fabric you can use for bags, pouches, and more, a clever zero-waste sewing technique.

What you will want on hand

• Washable glue stick – holds strips in place before stitching
• Muslin by the yard – the base you build the selvages onto
• Edge stitching foot – keeps each strip line straight
