The Best Things In Life Are Free

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!

    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 think you've caught the selvage bug. What a neat purse, I love it. Maybe I should start saving selvages.
