Lil' Jean Purse

Front

Size comp.

Instructions

Y'all know how to cut off the legs, stitch it up...embellish like crazy, I made the handles out of the pant legs. I didn't bother to line this one, NO tellin' what they might put in their purse !!

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Children

Style: Casual


Materials

Pair of toddler jeans, jean thread, and those cool little stud and jewel kits !

What was your inspiration?

Thought a little girl might just want a cool lil' bag to go with the t-shirt dress I made earlier today. To see the dress, look under sewing, children, clothing.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun !!

Capedread love your puppy pic!!! Thank you for checking out my project. I LOVE working with old jeans! They are a little tough to sew sometimes, but I have my trusty Viking Designer SE that can sew pretty much anything & embroider too! I just make things that pop into my head, or out of need, hope you make yourself one !!

What an interesting way to make use of worn out jeans. Great idea who ever thought it up and I bet all the girls want one. I will make one for my grandaughter for sure.

Oh yes, all the girls love them, and the big girls like them too!! I have made them for people and they just tell me with colors they like and I put a lining in it, and make a belt to match. All the pockets are great. I am a Big jean recycle nut, and people save their old one's for me so it's an affordable medium to work with!
