More Jean Purses...

Ok,, I had such fun making the first couple that,,, well I had to make a few more...

this is the completed Jean skirt re-purposed into a tote/purse... the bake side has fancy stitching and the edge where the ruffle is attached has sequins all the way around....

 it's hard to see in the photo, but I did a tonal on tonal of blues for the straps as well as the lining for this purse. attached a tatted dollie and YoYo...

the back side is already Blinged up so I didn't have to do anything...

 for this one I used a tan/brown fabric for the lining and straps.. added some YoYos and bling...

 on the backside, once again I didn't need to do anything except add a YoYo.

but here is the best part.... The brand name on these jeans is "Grace"... how Koolieo is that!?!

Well,,, now I have to move on and get back to my quilts,,, but this was a fun project...

Don't forget to click on the photos to enlarge them for better viewing.

 

Another Jean BOHO Purse...

ok,,, I am having way to much fun making these BOHO jean purses,,,  (click on the photo to get a better view)...

I made the first two and found another cute pair of jeans to re-purpose into yet another purse...

 this one is a bit smaller then the first two  that I made...

 the back pockets are sweet with tiny rhinestones.. but I could not get them to photograph well...

I lined the inside using a drapery weight toile fabric... 'Hounds & Pheasants...

 

Sooo, what's a girl to do when she needs a couple of Birthday presents... why she hit's the nearest Thrift store and buys a couple more pair of jeans...

 I found this pair of "Grace" jeans(yes, that really is the Brand name and I might have to make this one for me! I luv the fun rhinestones on the butt pockets...

 then I found this pair of jeans with multi colored stones...

and then I spotted this lil skirt,,, and thought,,, why not? surely I can re-purpose it into a purse.

Now, Off to my sewing room to have fun! 

TaTa!

Fun with Jeans...

Oh what fun one can have with re-purposing a cast off pair of denim jeans...

Several years ago I cut and stitched up 20  denim stocking (like the kind you hang for Santa over the fireplace)... All were done in a western theme...

 

Last year I took a jean pocket and turned it into a little shoulder tote, Just big enough for my cell phone, lipstick, drivers Lic., and some cash...

 

And today I re-purposed another pair of jeans into a BoHo tote/purse...this one is for me! The one I made several weeks ago I made for my grand~girlie.

Here are the 2 for my grand~girlies....(now stuffed with Barbie doll clothes)....

 I made the darker on one the left.... but the lighter one on the right, I found at a Thrift Shop for $2 so I changed out the straps that were on it and added the handles..

Both grand~girlies are happy...

 

For me,,, I made this one....the fabric is hard to see, but it is Hawaiian floral in purples, peach and greens...

 the pockets are perfect for sunglasses and cell phone...

 I made the ties/straps long so I can lengthen or shorten the shoulder straps...

I lined the purse and added a cute belt buckle to the front...

 

 

and this is the lil purse/tote I made from a Jeans pocket.... the nice thing is the front pocket buttons closed. I stitched on a piece of denim on the back to drop in my cell phone or sun glasses...

Should be Cleaning,,, buttt....

I should be cleaning off my sewing table,,, but once again, got side tracked... and whipped up this..

  lil mini apron,,, from some left over pieces of fabric....

sketched up the idea,,, cut, sewed and Voila'  a lil mini to go out into my Serro Scotty trailer.

I love quick projects,,, but I really should get back to my sewing room and clean up!!!

Hmmm,, maybe tomorrow!!! lol!

Busy Busy...

Even with 2 meetings and doing taxes this week,, I was still able to get 7 quilt tops (lap quilts 42x42) stitched up,,, (still need to put the backing on...another day's project),,, I also stitched up a bunch more mini aprons and a wine bottle apron and last but not least I crocheted a rag rug...

Tonight,,, I will chillaxe and enjoy a lovely glass of wine....

 wine bottle apron sitting on the rag rug....

These lap quilts are for 'Covers of Love' a group that I belong to, we quilt/crochet quilts and afghans for the VA shut-ins as well as children who are removed from unsafe situations by Child Protective Services... and also small blankets and beanie caps go to the Neo-natal unit at the local Hospital...

I love knowing that a little bit of 'me' is going to someone in need.....
