Let’s Vote – Selvedge Challenge

June’s Show & Tell Challenge is all about SELVEDGES. 

You know, the edge of your fabric that usually contains designer information.  It also prevents the fabric from fraying.  Most of you probably cut them off and throw them away.  But there are many of us out there who save them and find crafty ways to use them.
