Jodie from Ric Rac can't stop coming up with incredible projects using left over selvedge from sewing projects. She made this entire dress out of selvedge. It took her about 5 months and she needed selvedge donations to have enough.

@Mary Johanssen: selvedge is the edge of fabric that you normally don't use in sewing. It's the machine edge and keeps the whole bolt from fraying. More info:

The word is "salvage" not selvedge. Selvedge is not a word.
