Some of the jeans bags I have been making

No, just unzip and unbutton when sewing the lining to the outside at the top. Start at the buttonhole side at the place where the button tab ends, then stop at the other side at the button. Then, just zip up and button. If you unzip and unbutton, all you see is the wrong side of the lining. If you look on the Internet, there are a couple of tutorials on how to do them. That is how I first started making them. There really isn't a pattern because all jeans are a bit different. I just decided to make mine a bit more detailed than the tutorials, with fused lining for strength and lots of inside pockets.

Those are great! I am sure these will sell just fine. I am doing my first craft show on Dec. 1 and my excitement is now turning into nervous jitters. Maybe you can sell some through the board if you have any left over. All the best. Good luck!

great purses made from jeans. Could you share what pattern you used? I would like to make some for my granddaughters. Thanks so much for sharing your very lovely purses and I am sure you will be successful at the craft fair. I just attended one in our town at the 3 schools that are on the same block, high school, middle and grade and I saw some beautiful things and it looked like the sales were very brisk so hopefully you will have great success.
