Denim Pocket Purse
- Total Time Needed:
- Afternoon Or Evening
Turn an old pair of blue jeans into a hip over-the-shoulder bag.
- Materials
-
- Pair of old jeans
- Scissors
- Needle and thread
- Ribbon or braided rope
- Iron-on transfers, paint or patches
- Velcro strips or snaps
- Instructions
-
-
Begin by cutting out a back pocket of an old (but not threadbare) pair of jeans, being careful to cut outside the seams so the pocket stays intact.
-
Sew a long piece of ribbon, an old belt, or braided rope to the sides of the pockets to make a shoulder strap.
-
Next, let the outside of the purse become a canvas for ornaments. Decorate with iron-on transfers, fabric paint, beads, patches, or appliques. More ambitious kids might embroider their initials or other designs on the denim for an authentic seventies look.
-
To hold the purse shut, sew strips of Velcro, buttons or snaps to the inside of the pocket.
