Simple feminine upcycled denim bag

Description

This bag is perfect for everyday use, casual with jeans, out and about, for tween, teen or you!

It is constructed from upcycled denim jeans. The fraying of the jeans hem was preserved and incorporated into the top of the bag to give it that old beloved favorite purse look.

I have added a generous front patch pocket from another part of the original jeans. The white cotton trim is purchased new and added to the pocket and used to create the handles.

There are no interior pockets. I left is simple so it can become a general purpose tote for the farmer's market, etc. It is big enough to hold a couple magazines, sunscreen, hat and wallet for the beach too!

As many original jean seams as possible were kept. Any new teams were double stitched securely and seam finished to prevent fraying.

This is the perfect casual spring and summer bag. So perfect I nearly kept it for myself.

I made this bag to rest at approximately waist to high hip when worn over one shoulder or mid chest to waist if worn messenger bag style.

Dimensions:
Bag approximately 14 x 11-1/2 inches
Handle length (i.e. shoulder to bag) 17 inches

Care instructions: Machine wash gentle or hand, cold water. Lay flat to dry or dryer on lower temperatures because of the trim.
