And yet another jeans bag

I'm trying to get these out of my system, but I think I will keep making them until I come up with one I am thrilled with.

This one has some nifty flying hearts and a really long frayed strap so that I can wear it under my coat. There's plenty of room for a small wallet, some keys and other junk.



The back sports a little pocket for maybe the cell phone.

Denim Rose Purse

I got the idea from a designer bag to make a rose out of fabric. Since I am in 'old denim jeans' mode and in to making small bags for when I go out at night, I sewed a denim rose on to a back pocket from some jeans I have ripped up. The rose part makes 2 exterior pockets on the purse which comes in very handy. It's lined in pink cotton.

I used a waistband from a pair of jeans to make the clasp...


... and sewed the waistband to the back.

Finished red bag

This latest bag features sample fabrics from a home dec swatch book and ready made fringe from the sewing store.

Loteria bag

This loteria fabric bag I whipped up is screaming for glitter, buttons, beads and whatever do-dads I have in my stash. Stay tuned.

Hobo Bag

Tried my hand at a hobo bag this weekend. I got the pattern here and it totally rocks. I'm sure by the time I make myself a second one, I'll be pretty good at it. My sewing skills are still rather rocky.
