Upcycled Denim Purse with Cross-Stitched Pocket in Red and Blue

Description

This purse is made primarily from repurposed materials, specifically part of an old pair of jeans and an old belt. The exterior of the purse is denim, with black quilt binding lining the top of the purse. The strap is made from a cotton woven belt, and the loops on the belt are still attached, hanging down about an inch or two on the inside of the purse--the perfect place to hang your keys! The cross-stitched design is the outside of a small pocket (purposely not centered), which is lined with a red satiny fabric. The design is Celtic inspired, in a bright blue color, which contrasts with the red cross-stitch fabric. The purse is unlined.

The body of the purse measures 12 inches wide by 13 inches high (30 cm x 33 cm), and the purse is sewn so that it has a 2 inch base at the bottom. The strap is 31 1/2 inches (80 cm) long, making it long enough for most people to wear slung across their chest. The pocket is approximately 3 3/4 inches by 4 1/2 inches (9.5 cm x 11.5 cm). The phone (shown for scale; not included) is an older model Sprint flip-phone. Most newer model cell phones will fit in the pocket very comfortably, and even older cell phones or a video iPod would fit into the pocket.

This purse is machine washable and dryable.
