Pants Purse

An easy project to do with even the most inexperienced sewer would be this precious purse!  My daughter had the idea to use an old pair of jeans to make this item!  All we did is take her old jeans and cut the legs off.  We turned the jeans inside out and sewed up the bottom.  It gets a little difficult at the seams, since the jean material is very thick, so go slowly.

We then cut the leg material into a long strip, then pinned and sewed the strip to make a strap.  Then, we sewed the strap to the top portion of the jeans.  I made sure to go back and forth several times to make sure the strap was fastened securely.

My daughter attached a belt at the top, but you could use an old scarf as well.  I hope you have fun making your jean purse, too!
