My second bag for the weekend!!! Another one created with old blue jeans. I created the border by sewing the triangles to the rust rectangle with straight stitch really close to the raw edge. I then stitched this piece to a dark piece of denim. I then added this dark piece to several pieces of patchwork denim to create the outside of the bag. I used yellow thread to do my decorative stitching on the bag and the handles. The back of the bag features a piece of denim with a pocket still intact and makes a great pocket for the outside of the bag. I created a rust and brown pocket for the inside of the bag. I added a little piece of rust fabric with two triangles to the back near the pocket. I stitched the vintage metal buttons with yellow thread before I sewed in the lining which is a striped fabric. Easier to find "stuff" when the inside is light. The bag is 17.5" wide by 15" tall with a 3" bottom. Therese
