This messager bag has a flap that was made by the denim from my purse. Has 2 pockets under the flap that came from the back of my old jeans. Has 2 pockets on the inside and long strap that can go over her shoulder and head.:)


There you have it reuse/recycle.:)

Thanks for looking
So whatcha think?

[dorothysgirls]

I love those!!!! Very good way to recycle!!

[Midds]

They both turned out very nice!

[craziebunny]

Very nice!!

[chrispersmom]

Those are fantastic! I love the first one the best. I almost always gravitate toward denim purses. The only other purse I use is a great one made for my by LadyBeBop last year in the holiday swap. It's crocheted from a great variegated nylon and is beautiful! I wish I could line stuff as good as you, they look so great!:cheer

[Lesalicious]

Thanks ladies thanks a bunch.

Leanne the best purses to me is denim. Raw edges to denim gives it, it's unique-ness. Also it's heavy and don't have to worry to much on having a heavier lining for the inside because the denim holds it's own.:)

Again thanks.

[Katie G]

Great job on both purses and you really did a nice job on the lining.

I actually had a pair of patchwork jeans just like that back in the day, (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day :lol)...they're long gone but they were my fav jeans at the time. I hadn't seen any like that in years. Wish I still had them and even better, could still fit into them! :D

Excellent - I love making things out of old jeans - I used to make my boys (when they were little) coveralls and such.

[Lesalicious]

Aww thanks ladies. I just love taking something old and reuse it into another way. Loved doing both these projects. Was happy it turned out so great. Now I have family and friends sending me there old jeans to make them purses lol.:)
