Crafting 101

So we checked the mail today, I realized we hadn’t checked it in a few days and it was a good thing we did! Deanna had an invitation to a birthday party! So what did I do this afternoon? I made another purse! I asked Deanna what her friend would like, she’s a tomboy, but girly at the same time. So I decided to recycle some jeans, do a little crocheting and a little bit of sewing and boom! Purse is made!

I cut off a pair of size 7  or 8 jeans that were messed up in the legs and such so they were in my basket to recycle. So I cut the legs off, sewed up the bottom, made the lining and crocheted a strap for it. Pieced it together (had to do some hand sewing since I didn’t want to break my needle) and there it is!

I have a few more photos here for you to look at.  I think it turned out cute! I closed it with some elastic over the button for the jeans. It’s very unique and fun! TTFN!
