I enjoyed making this handbag. It's made from a pair of Calvin Klein Jeans. I didn't want to take away from the orignality, so I did not add any embroidery ;( However; I have two more to make so I may add some on the others ;) The other bag is a cosmetic bag for my whatnots :) I may even cell phone case with the other left over straps...FIESTA

These really are a great idea. Fantastic!

Making a Denim Tote bag website. However; I did mines without the bottom piece and I did 2 straps only.

Very nice. :-)

Looks great. Well done. *4U

I have been making them from "BABY" jeans/shorts from the resale shop (really cheap) I added beading b-4 I sewed them shut and made handles from 3 pices of fleece braided together. They are the best CUZ they don't wear out and the pockets are already there. You did a beautiful job! :)

TU...I would love to see some of your designs. I LOVE Denim. I am about to make a denim suit for church...I think...LOL ;) *2U

What a great way to recycle a pair of jeans. You did a great job. Will you make me one? LOL

My friend you know I will if you are serious ;) *2U

Great bit of recycling. I normally get my children's jeans when there are holes near the back pockets in in the crotch (or is that the body-part, not the part of the garment?). So I do recycle, but not complete uppers as you did with the bag. Looks great!!

very cute set, *4U
