Recycled jeans plus a lining made from an old cotton curtain plus two of Veronika's Cute Bug designs. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out (although the process was eventful) except for the handle. This is made from the waistband (including buttonhole as it wasn't long enough without!) It looks scruffier than the rest of the bag but I couldn't think what to do instead.

Lovely work Sue, it is good to see the design and finished work. Especially as it has been such a 'challenge'

Super job Sue, I would never guess you had any event involved in the making of this bag. Way to go.

Great recycling! Thanks for showing. Aren't those bug designs lovely? And knowing they will stitch out well means you can stitch them straight on whatever you're making.
Between Jonah and the dresses I've stitched out two of those too.

very creative, using an old cotton curtain as the liner! Look very nice! And its gots character with the story of the events involved in its making, lol!

Sue, I love the purse....I love to recycle jeans. I have been doing that for years. I like it when it is a little tattered and worn....gives it a cool look....thanks for sharing your purse with us....

This is so neat - in spite of your experience with it. But, good to recycle and reuse. Good Job
