Selvage
Definition: The uncut edge of a woven fabric that is on the right and lef-hand edge during manufacture. Selvage or selvedge will not fray as the yarn returns on itself and thus appears finished. Selvage tends to be cut away or hidden by a hem as it may carry a different pattern to the rest of the fabric, have a different weave pattern, or lack pile.

I'm so rough on outfits, I could probably use an entire outfit made out of selvage. I wonder if that could be done in a way it would look awesome of if I'd just end up looking like a Halloween experiment gone horribly wrong.

My mom once wanted to alter some jeans and she has broken at least 5 needles from the sewing machine. Ever since she doesn't want to hear about jeans alterations. ;) LOL!
