Yes, I've started saving mine recently. Wish I lived near someone who would save them for me as well. In time I will have enough to make something.....Hopefully a jacket.
I also save my cut thread pieces and I have a pretty good size bag but it will take a lot for what I want to do...make a scarf.. Yes I'm a nut.

There are a couple of ladies in our quilting group that have made the cutest things with selvages. Bags, mug rugs, potholders, etc. I've started saving mine. Have used them to tie things together.

Yes, I save mine and my friends save them for me. I have patterns for pin cushions, hot pads, Christmas tree, string quilt, sewing machine cover and the list goes on.....

You ladies should save yours and PIF them for postage. I know I would want them and I'm sure others would too.

I used a few selvages to hold tomato plants up sometimes. Otherwise, I give them to a quilting friend who is making that very purse you talked about. I usually throw them out.
