My first Jeans purse

This is my first Jeans purse. I am starting to recycle old jeans and thought this pair would make a cool purse. I added a belt that I made out of the same material I lined it with. Plus I made a flower out of that same material and cut leaves out of a pair of green jeans that I had too.
This is what the lining looks like. I had to hand stitch it in cause my sewing machine couldn't handle the thickness of the jeans and lining. And I made a pocket on the inside too!!

I'm very excited to make more now! I'll post them as I make them.

Thanks Kay! I put it on etsy, so I hope it sells! :) I have 2 green ones coming up, I have to work on the lining tonight. They're too much fun!! :)

I need to make one for me.
