Denim,lace and embroidery tote

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual, Retro / Vintage, Funky


Materials

old denim jeans, lace and machine embroidery

What was your inspiration?

I love trying new things, and I love the effect of ragged denim, so I thought why not use these old jeans and make a bag with them?? I used denim, lace, machine embroidery and hot fix crystal and my old bedazzler!!! :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

it's simple, have fun!! you don't need a complicated pattern for the bag, find a simple pattern and sew it with the seams on the outside, and decorate it till it screams for mercy!!! LOL

just find any purse pattern that you like and make it out of denim with the seams on the outside, and decorate!! I'm sure you can do this! :)
