"Thank you, tonight I'd like to do a little number that's very dear to my heart. Its been covered by a lot of people but I think there's something in it for everyone.
FEVER
Never know how much I love them
never know how much I care
When I start a brand new project
I get a fever that’s so hard to bare
They give me fever
When I cut them
I get a fever that’s so hard to bare
They give me fever
When I cut them
Fever when I sew them right
Fever
When I’m sewing
selvedge by Janome light
Fever
When I’m sewing
selvedge by Janome light
I sew in the day time
I sew in the night
I light up when I see that edge
and you know I’m gonna treat it right
They give me fever
When I cut them
and you know I’m gonna treat it right
They give me fever
When I cut them
Fever when I sew them right
Fever
When I’m sewing
selvedge by Janome light
Fever
When I’m sewing
selvedge by Janome light
Every fabrics got some selvedge
That is something you all know
Selvedge isn’t just a scrap piece
Selvege baby’s all the go.
Jodie and her selvedge edges
have a very mad affair
When somebody tries to toss them
She says honey oh don't you dare
She says honey oh don't you dare
They give me fever
When I cut them
Fever when I sew them right
Fever
When I’m sewing
selvedge by Janome light
Fever
When I’m sewing
selvedge by Janome light
Now you listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
I’ve run completely out of selvedge
I’m begging baby, I’ve no shame.
Thank you , thank you , you are too kind.....umm...excuse me...security...could you get those two old soaks under control up the back there....Oh sorry its Locket and Moogs, no , no they're fine.....Just a little emotional.
hahahahaha!!!
ReplyDeletethat was awesome!!!
:D
I believe when one has a strong "umm" habit that you should only drip fees through the good stuff, so I have an emergency envelope for such an occasion. Can you please send me your address again and I can hook you up.
ReplyDeleteIf your selvedges don't work out you definitely have a career in lyric writing! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentleman, please don't forget to tip your waitress!
ReplyDeleteI'll start saving for you...although I don't have any as cute as those turtles.
Talk about sing for your supper! Singing for your selvedges is so much more fun. you sound great by the way. If the crafting doesnt pan out perhaps a record deal?? If I find any in this tip of a sewing room, where do I send them to? i'll put a link on my blog
ReplyDeleteQuick, I'd better do my bit before the next song comes on ... its Aerosmith's Living on the edge. (Just need an address).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great number.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
I have some here that I have been saving for you. I will gather them up and post tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteyou know, I was just looking at my selvedges last night and I started wondering if you maybe needed some more. just email your address so I can send some off to you!
ReplyDeleteToo funny...I am waiting for the youtube version
ReplyDeleteI needed a good laugh this afternoon!! Very cool song!!!! I have five metres of continuous selvedge.... do you want that? Maybe just maybe.... I could finally send that package of ones I've already saved!!!! I shouldn't have packed them!!!!!
ReplyDelete"loud crazy clapping and whistling"
ReplyDeleteGreat song!
I will start saving them. Just give me an address and I will send them to you!
Last time I saw you, you said you had stacks of selvedge. What have you been up to? Can you wait until Saturday?
ReplyDeleteLove the "Fever"!
Oh Jod you're a classic! I was in need of a good laugh too!
ReplyDeleteYou just gotta love those Japanese selvedges. I don't get many selvedges cause I usually buy 30cm strips of fabrics and (my luck is fantastic like this) they usually get cut RIGHT before the cool bit of the selvedge starts. Every time.
I actually "HAD" to buy another half metre of fabric at Amitie once just because my first half metre ended up getting cut off right before the cute apple selvedge began!

Hilarious! You've got me singing along in my head.
ReplyDeleteWell... I hope you included your return address on the pattern you have sent me because I could make your selvedge dreams come true...
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't think I have any selvedges as beautiful as those you have pictures!
What no video with sound so we could hear you singing too.....wicked grin.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen selvedges like you show here. I would be happy to cut any I do have off for you though.
ReplyDeleteI've been collecting a little stash for you. If you email me your address I'll pop them in the mail tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGuess what I was just about to do before checking my blog reader - I was about to go through my selvedges and package them up for you! Not very long pieces, sorry, but an envelope will be on it's way soon!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple if you would like them - but I think we need an encore!
ReplyDeleteYou should really sing it and post a little You tube thingy, what a hoot, what imagination.. I had to sit here and sing it, I had to!! You are too witty, Heres hoping your postie brings you many parcels.
ReplyDeletehow freakin' cute are those ice cream and patterned selvedges??? and people toss them away??? I need a new project, I have made a few wee quilts for my 'workstation' (corporate version of toilet sized office).. I have the 'you made what?' vibrator quilt.. might need a new one..
ReplyDeleteLissapoo
who is singing a bad 70's song in her head..
word verification today :FATSO.. what the??? did someone peek at my fatness today???
You really are quite mad aren't you?? I like that in a person, I think we may have been made from the same mold? mould?? oh you know what I mean. I shall start collecting for you straight away though mine are no where near as pretty as those you have pictured.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear your next production number, maybe something on like "The Wind beneath my wings", i am sure I can hear a selvedge song in there somewhere!!
Have a great day,
Kiss Noises Linda Lilly Cottage
Oh Jodie! I'll drop my pile of them over tomorrow. In your letterbox if you are not there.
ReplyDeleteWoahhh you crack me up lady,the fabrics are toooo cute as always!
ReplyDeletexoxo
*LOL* that made me smile this morning.. and thats not an easy thing to do.. I'm a terrible grouch in the morning... sadly I don't have any selvedge for you but if I do buy any fabric anytime soon I will be sure to save it to send to you.
ReplyDeleteNext time I sort through my stash, I'll cut off the selvedges for you Jodie.
ReplyDeletex
I was singing right there with you babe! I think I've got a few selvedges you can have.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome post! I love, love, love your blog, Jodie. You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAnd that ant selvedge is too cute! One of them has turned back to talk to the one behind!
wow that song was hilarious! I was cracking up laughing reading it!
ReplyDeleteha ha ha
ReplyDeleteyou are a desperate woman!
Better email your address again then!
ReplyDeletethebell01 @ hotmail .com
Funny as!I too have started a collection for you-not too many yet but I am working on it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to collect some up for you if you let me know where to send them - they may not be terribly sute though ...
ReplyDeleteI'll have an envelope in the post to you tomorrow - and more on the way. I've been in a cutting frenzy this week!
ReplyDeleteencore, encore!!
Oh Jodie you are SO crazy and I love it
ReplyDeletewoof whisteling
is it coming out in a PSP singstar version????
Jodie you are quite mad but loved it....guess I will have to part with some of my "stash" for a song that good! Now it looks like we will have to start buying fabric JUST for the selvedge!! LOL @ Lissapoo.
ReplyDeletedear selvedge addicit,
ReplyDeleteon a recent jaunt to ye olde nippon to terrorise the outlaws with the sporn, one couldn't help but notice all the pretty selvedges on fabrics that chose to become part of the stash. one gave a knowing :D and knew who would truly appreciate them. if you leave a note @ mcspannar(at)hotmail(dot)com with details, said selvedges could be in your hot little hands in the next week or so. :D
That had me singing right along! Happy to chop off some selveges and send them your way if you email me where to send them.
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO. You know, every time I see the selvedge on a piece of fabric I think if you! You're famous missus....or should that be infamous? Hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteNext time I get to the selvedgey bit I will send it round your way.
xMx
Fantastic singing and lyrics. Glad I could help you out with a few tonight. Should be more coming your way.
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeleteWhat's really scary is that I could hear Peggy Lee singing that in my head! Crafter, lyricist, mum... is there no end to your talents?... Can you play the sax? The selvedge sax of course.
ReplyDeletecan't wait for your album to come out (do they still call them albums?)!! send me your address - I'm cleaning out my sewing room :-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha that was FAB...can't get it outa my head :)
ReplyDeletewoof woof woof (arsenio hall style!)
ReplyDeleteLove the song, but no selvedges here--I've only recently discovered your blog. I'll start saving them for you!
i discovered your blog about a month ago and started collecting my selvages in hopes i could send you some of mine. if you send me your address, i'll get a package together for you. i'd love to contribute to your fun addiction. :) plus, there are some dr. seuss selvages from the cat in the hat quilt i just pieced together for my son - colors are on my blog.
ReplyDeletejennifer
That's hysterical Jodie!!!! I've just been singing it to the Lockets! (and I have to confess to a few secret sniggers at work when I peeked - so what if I should have been working!!!)
ReplyDeleteBut you were probably right before about Moogs and I being old soaks - AND emotional!!!!
Locket xxxx
love it, that was awsome. how long did it take to come up with that? left me smiling.
ReplyDeletebarbara
do de do do .....do do do do-oo de do...dododode dodo.....
ReplyDeletewooohooooo - encore encore!!!!
Can we have another one?
Jodie - you truly are a woman of so very many talents :-)
Selvedge will be on it's way ASAP!
Moogs (hic)

Oh Jodie-you crack me up girl-fun way to beg for salvedges! Love it! I will try to be good about saving mine-once I get enough to send I will let you know. Hope you are having a good day!~Tam:D
ReplyDeleteClap Clap Clap, whistle whistle.
ReplyDeleteThat was wonderful. I can see why you are so excited. Those selvedges are just soooo cute. Look forward to seeing what you come up with this time.
Hey Jodie, Thanks for brightening up by breakfast hour! Love to post you my selvedges...just hit the contact us button on the blog and email me your postal address. Cheers :)Kylie
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could help you...but my Op Shopping seldom delivers the goods in this area.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I wish I'd discovered you yesterday - I just threw out a whole heap of selvegde after I decided nothing could be made of their cute-ness. I'll remember you next time!
ReplyDelete~ren :)
You're the best. Thanks for the song!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jodie, once again you make me laugh. Those selvedges you showed - are they the norm in your part of the world? I am very embarrassed about the b o r i n g
ReplyDeleteones I sent. I've never seen darling ants or ice cream cones or anything except numbers and dots.
I had already put a few aside for you Jodie! So I'll keep adding to it! There may not be heaps but better you have them than the bin!! Great song by the way......
ReplyDeleteOh my... I think Renae just gave Jodie a heart attack!!
ReplyDeleteJodie, looks like they are coming. Looking foward to seeing the big 'secret' project!
Love your singing by the way. I can just see you up there, crooning away!
Oh Jodie no! There is a word for this.......
ReplyDeleteEncore!
ReplyDeleteI've started saving selvedges for you. Could you please email me an address? Love your work!
ReplyDeleteHa ha hee hee. Standing ovation.
ReplyDeleteStanding ovation here too! (But you are completely bonkers.....!!!)
ReplyDeleteYou are a crack-up!
ReplyDeleteI actually sang that all the way through! (to myself of course....no need to frighten the neighbours!)
I too am on my feet!
I am not a very prolific sewer but you have a promise....I will save all future selvedges for Jodie....
I think someone's fabric might be giving off fumes.
ReplyDeleteOf course, now I'll be singing that all day.
I have been saving, but I don't have much unless you'd also like the 'other' stuff I sent you.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie
ReplyDeleteI am the other half of 'Threads of Friendship' with Kylie, I will post you some selvedges too (& I DO work in a fabric shop!).
Janelle xx
Oh no run out. I'll definitely send you some
ReplyDeleteEmergency packet is on the way! I had my small bag sitting here waiting to get larger but if your out you need it!
ReplyDeleteFever! The Matron is fanning herself, such bling!
ReplyDeleteoh my...you have me crying...I guess I may have to start collecting for you too...that's for the belly laugh!!
ReplyDeleteOh, reading your selvage plea actually makes me feel sad that I rarely, if ever, buy new fabric. But if I do come across any fancy new fabric with nice selvages, they're yours - for a song :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a cack....I must admit that I had a little sing along as well. You have made me not only smile but a big laugh as well so thanks for that. I will B/mark you with a star. If you send me your address I will save and send some selvages for you.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Shelley
How funny...your a hoot! Where should I send such selvages if I should find some in my stash. I checked and I have about 100 fat quarters with selvages still on them. WOOHOO......it could be your lucky day.
ReplyDeleteGreat song choice! That's a classic. *applause* :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so fun Jodie. Those are some fabulous selveges. Don't you think companies (well, especially Japanese ones) are making selveges more beautiful than ever! Maybe they've been lurking here! I love you channeling Peggy Lee.
ReplyDeleteSend me your address so I can tip you in selvege! Clapping hands, great song.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...that was fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd those are some of the CUTEST selvages I've ever seen. I think maybe you're responsible for that. ;)
Kimberly
hehe, that was awesome! And those are soem gorgeous selvages!
ReplyDeleteYou are FABULOUS! What a great classic this is going to be! Thanks for sharing your rampant creativity with the world! *huge applause*...
ReplyDelete~emily
Hahaha! The problem is that you've created the selvedge fever in blogland -- which will greatly reduce your donations! Most excellent production however!!!
ReplyDeleteCute lyrics. When can we expect to see the video on Youtube?
ReplyDeletefor some reason you appear to no longer be updating on the old bloglines thingy. I'll have to have a fiddle about with it.
ReplyDeleteHow'd I miss that? QUALITY!
delurking to say that is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteok I've got a little bag of the stuff for you ! let me know where to post!
ReplyDeleteCorrie:)
Your selvedge projects are so fan blinking tastic!
