    Here is my latest tulip bag. I made it with a pair of my hubby's old jeans and my first project for keeps using my new-to-me embroidery machine! I also made 2-sided straps for this one too.

    2 hour tulip by Janice Pope. I make and sell these bags. They are so fun to make. They can get a little thick under the foot of a machine, but if you take your time it's just fine. I have a Janome 1600 and it will sew anything. It is almost as special to me as my H3 truck.

    That's a really cute bag. Great re-use of jeans.

    Your bag looks different from the Janice Pope style, did you just place the straps at a different end? I like the way the sides go in with yours.
