I love working with selvages. I make some neat mug rugs using them and keep several on hand for little quick gifts.
The other day I was looking for another quick little gift that I could use these selvages to make.
I started with a bin of selvages....
This is one of the bins of selvages.
Then I took a stack of used Color Catchers ...
Of course I could not stop with just one, so I used up all the mug rugs I had completed ...
Now I have a stack of Needle Cases ...
Love these!!!

I foundation pieced my selvages onto the Color Catchers, layered them and quilted them.
I dug into my bin of leftover bindings to complete them.
After binding them it was easy to create the little felt inside layer to put needles in.
After adding the ribbon ties, I had a really neat little Needle Case.
Now I have a stack of Needle Cases ...
Love these!!!
