Materials

Little girl's denim jeans from Goodwill. Bandanas from Goodwill

What was your inspiration?

While visiting Goodwill one day, I noticed little girls jeans don't wear out and
have plenty of decoration on them. I decided to try this project and sold quite a few. Pick your jeans by the size purse you want to make. You can substitute a favorite scarf or fancy belt for the bandana.

What are you most proud of?

Being able to help Goodwill and myself at the same time.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be prepared to make them for friends who will want one just like yours!

My daughters have been wanting purses like this, I've saved their old jeans but just haven't made them yet. You make it sound so easy. :-)
