Jeans purses

I've been spending the past few days trying to come up with ideas to decorate the jeans purses that I made from old recycled jeans. These ones aren't lined cause my sewing machine couldn't sew in the lining. But I think they're awfully cute and a great way to recycle jeans.

This pair is from a tan/taupe pair of jeans. I had these appliqué butterflies in my stash, and decided that they would look really cool on this pair:

I then cut out a kawaii skull from felt and sewed that on a pair of khaki pants that I made into a purse. I found the checkered belt with the skull from that cool second-hand store in San Mateo. Thought it would go well together.

I then figured that I could embroider on the jeans before sewing them up. So I embroidered a bunch of these little pink flowers that were already in the machine. I thought the middles of the flowers would look really cute filled in, so I found my fabric paint and painted them in.

I made the belt out of this fun material my friend gave to me to use for different projects.


Those are what I have done so far. I'll get more stuff done during the week. I'll post as I create. My creative juices are flowing again...YAY!
