a few hours an old pair of jeans and Denim as prompt in The Sunday Creative
Don't look too closely at stitching, my machine acted up and actually broke down on the top stitching of lining to bag! So sad. I'm no seamstress, I just put things together. I put extra pockets in the inside. Whoops must have deleted it somehow. 1) I'm a blue jeans girl. I wear mostly jeans. I love clothing with pockets, can't have enough pockets! 2) I am not a seamstress nor a tailor and marvel when someone can sew clothing. I can't follow patterns very well. I cut my jeans up without measuring and sewed this purse together just by eyeballing it. I once sewed a leg hole to an arm hole and visa versa. I also bombed Home Economics sewing 7th grade (they wouldn't let me take wood shop as it was only for boys). I had a plaid skirt I was supposed to make, the plaid didn't line up and I couldn't get the zipper right. I was poor and the money for my pattern, material and thread came out of our food money. My mother was mad. I never wore the skirt and never took it home. Of course I didn't have the build for it either but it was the fashion of the time and we were supposed to make a skirt with a plaid fabric. I did go home that summer and I made two pair of short shorts in cotton fabric and scarf tops, my summer attire. I also made a wrap around skirt and sun dress that had no zippers or armholes. I did it just to prove I could make clothing, but it was all cotton and very simple designs I could see from the picture how it went together. I never really made clothing after that. I did make a few simple dresses for my daughter. When I'm following patterns I usually find out halfway through that I didn't do it right and just continue on hoping it will sort itself out now.
