The next item is a tote! completely jean! completely my pattern. I used the whole top portion of some jeans. I then added strips of various other colors and styles of jeans at the bottom to give it something different. I also took the opportunity to practice different stitches to see what the look like. I also didn't seam everything the way everyone normally does. for the panels i just overlapped them and stitched them together. the idea is to get a somewhat frayed effect over time. I have already used this tote once. I don't need it for everyday. However, I needed something big because the movie theatre in town quit selling mountain dew and good candy.....therefore, i need a bag to sneak some in. I used it to hold 2 bottles of soda, 2 bottles of water, and 6 packages of candy. It was heavy as heck, but it held up very nicely. I also made the strap way to long, so I knotted it and I like it, it added something different. Here is a front and back picture:
Well, I hope you enjoy my accessories! I love making them and I love working with jean! It's so much fun to tear up the jeans that laugh at me because they don't fit! It's so much fun to come up with ideas or even to used old ideas!
