So dang cute! Made from vintage Levi's and cotton fabric. The pockets work (yay), and the original leather tag from the back of the jeans is sometimes attached to the purse or bag. I am trying to use all parts of the blue jeans that I collect. There are so many ways to use recycled fabric, and I am going to try to use the whole jean. Too much stuff ending up in the landfill.
I am making these purses and bags in all sorts of patterns. I make all sorts of upcycled denim. Aprons, hot pads, purses, pillows, and now scrappy jeans. Check them out here, they are very handy as well. Keep your eyes open for other Upcycled Blue Jean projects from MountainsideGoods.
These purses and bags are very durable and will last you a lifetime. To wash, just throw them in the laundry like a pair of jeans.
I think there will be different sizes and shapes coming, as I have a bunch of old Levi's to use, and they range in sizes. I will list each one by jean color, fabric pattern and size of jeans in the options.
