I'm all about recycling......

Well, for the most part anyways. I saw this in a magazine, or my mom did and tore it out for me, and brings it to me "I bet you could make this". haha So, I went to a second hand store and bought some small girls jeans. Here's the end result. I think this would best suit a young girl. You won't see me carrying this. Just not my style. However, I think it's adorable. What do you all think? I got some blue jeans as well, and some khaki.

    I've seen several people carrying very similar bags.

    Oh yes.. I like it. And have actually made myself purses like this for years. Do you have any little girls you could give it to?? It is adorable!

    And I like you new blog layout too. You've probably had it for a while.. but it's been ages since I've been around to visit anyone.

    would make a great christmas present for a young girl you might know. Very cute. And great outer pockets for cell phones. You should put it in your store...someone would snatch that right up!
    Sorry you are missing your car right now...

    I think it's a great way to recycle. Kids of all ages would love it! The exterior pockets are already there and it can be customized.

    Love the handle!

    I would think a middle school girl would go crazy for it. You sure can whip things up fast. You have skill AND speed!

    I made a bag with jeans several years ago and used it as my brief case. I also used two back pockets, along with about 3" on each side, and made a small purse that I used until I wore a hole in the bottom. These are really fun and especially if they are embelished with machine embroidery.
