What a wonderful array of purses. I hope you don't mind, but I have my stepdaughter coming to my house next weekend and we usually have a sewing project to do and this one looks doable. I'm assuming that you use most of the jeans in the construction even for the handles.

Nice bags. Are they big enough to use as grocery bags? I have finally told friends no more denim, but still get from the grown kids.

Great bags. I, too, love denim and have a large bag and box ready to cut up for quilts. I have made one denim quilt for a picnic quilt challenge my guild had several years ago. Denim is so sturdy. I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to use for my picnic quit.

I love those bags and have a huge tub of old jeans waiting to be made into something. Did you use a pattern of any kind or are you creative enough to do these yourself?
