Yesterday Barb from Bejeweled Quilts By Barb made a great point about my new selvage bag...it cost next to nothing to make! That thought hadn't occurred to me, but because I used selvages, scraps and a zipper that I already had on hand, it was basically free. For that reason, I thought I would sew a selvage change purse to hold all the money I saved!

What a cute idea!
That's a great idea!! Love it!!
Love your bag and this wallet!! I too have saved them for over 2 yrs to do up a quilt show bag...maybe I better get to it before next one !;-)
Hope you enjoy the show!
Hugs,
Lola
Cute....I love the selvage bag too. Now...if you sold it think of the profit margin!!!!
Oh my gosh, I absolutely love this! If only I knew how to put a zipper in!
Love your bag and change purse. I really like selvage projects.
What a great idea!!!!
This will nicely compliment your purse. Great idea!
Your blog title reminded me of a time when my husband and I were dating. His favorite saying was "I Got It For Free!" I nicknamed him Swap Meet Bob to match and it has stuck with him through the years. LOL
Okay Susan, what else are you making out of selvages? Maybe I should not ask. Looking forward to the show.
I promise to check my jeans before we leave!!!!!!!!!
I figure we pay good money for the fabric when we first bought it...let us not waste a single bit of it or it would be like throwing it away. I love seeing selvage projects and yours is perfect!
I am all over saving money....and free is the very best ever:)
Smiles,

Cute change purse too. My selvage projects never turn out this way ;-(
I think you've caught the selvage bug. What a neat purse, I love it. Maybe I should start saving selvages.
Great idea. I do like it when I can make a bonus project from left overs. :-)
Barb makes a very good point! The change purse is really cute.
Very cute!
Love this!! Thanks for the idea!
