Make a Blue
Jeans Purse
You can easily make a
denim blue jeans purse from an old pair of outgrown jeans.
Cut the legs off a pair of
child's or adult's blue jeans at the crotch line. Turn inside out and sew
across the cut-off edge twice for strength, then zig zag the seam so that
it won't ravel.
For a closure at the top you
can sew snaps on the inside in the same area as the belt loops, or use the round glue
in velcro dots. Make a short or shoulder-length strap from the
remaining denim by cutting the strip 3" wide, then with right sides
together, sew the strip
using 1/2" seams. Turn the "tube" right side out and attach the
strap securely on the inside at both sides of the purse.
The jeans front and back
pockets are perfect pockets for money, gum or whatever small items she
wants to fill them with.
Suggestion: you can find
outgrown jeans at flea markets or yard sales that you could buy
very inexpensively. The blue jeans purse also makes
an excellent gift and could easily be sold in order to make a little extra money.
