There is something so comforting about a cloudy Sunday afternoon. It’s like the crook of your love’s neck, the sweet smell of homemade cake, the gentle caress of a summer breeze or……your favourite old pair of jeans.
I was doing my usual Monday morning clean up. Some dusting & mopping and a little of this and that when I came across an old pair of jeans ready to be given to charity.
Holding the jeans in my hand, I thought how much I had liked the jeans when I first bought them, but now, they were…you know…so “2000 and late”.
Then I remembered when my talented sister-in-law had made a cute little jean bag out of old jeans. Believe it or not, I don’t own a sewing machine (though it’s on my Christmas list…are you reading this dear hubby, I mean Santa?), but I decided to make a cute little purse for my daughter and of course, have her help me.
I use every opportunity to show Isabella new things, so we got to it and gathered our supplies….

You will need an old pair of jeans (not your faves), some thread, a snappie thingie, a ribbon or an old belt to serve as the strap of the purse (optional) & some shirt transfers (which I found at the dollar store. I’m not sure they would last a wash but for this purpose, they’re great)

Here is the pocket…
1. Isabella sewed a border around it to coordinate with the cutest little elephant ever.
2. I sewed the snappie thingie (I’m sure it has a name) to close the purse .
3. We followed the easy instructions for transferring the image (it’s basically like
a tattoo)

This is the inside of the other pocket. This one is mine….and that is not candy you see. It actually fits perfectly inside and I thought it would make it a great way to be discreet. I think we’ve all had to sneak one of those one time or another (?). But you can also use for change as I pictured it above.

So there you have it…another quick craft, fresh from the Craftberry Bush. Hope you enjoy.
HEY those are my jeans!!! haha.. just joking…they’re so cute. I love them…especially the “discreet” one 🙂
Adorable Q! Much easier than mine and twice as cute! Good job! Do you mind if I link this to my blog?
aww..thanks chickies……of course you can link it..you don’t have to ask…xo
Simply adorable! I pinned this to my board at http://pinterest.com/pin/17548774/
I inherited a bunch of old jean pockets that my mother in law cut off the kid’s jeans when they were growing up so I will totally be making there!
Although I’m not sure if they would hold up to washing, they work wonderfully here.
