Instructions
Gather a collection of selvage strips. Consider mixing colors and patterns for a vibrant effect.
Remove any threads and trim extra large frays.
Press each strip well on both sides.
Arrange two of your selvage strips on the ironing board with the wrong sides up.
Butt the long edges together as neatly as possible.
Add hemming tape to the joining edge.
Secure the strips in place with hemming tape by ironing the tape onto the strips.
Add another selvage strip and repeat the process.
Repeat until you're finished butting and joining all the strips with hemming tape.
Trim the ends of your new fabric.
