There is a new way to turn old or out of use jeans into something new and chic. You can prepare an essential accessory, a purse by using booty of a pair of jeans, which is known as ‘booty bag.’ Moreover, it will be a great delight carrying along the purse, made by yourself and create your own style statement. So, consider the following:
Things you will need: A pair of jeans that you don’t mind cutting, a sweet belt (for your purse to wear), scissors, sewing needle and thread, measuring tape, chalk.
Procedure:
Cut the Jeans - Place the jeans on the floor or on any flat surface, flipside up, so you are facing at the back pockets. Cut the legs off, right where they meet the crotch. To avoid accidentally cutting the front pockets, pull them inside out. You can cut the jeans, depending on the shape you wish to get.
Stitch the bottom of the leg - After your jeans is cut and now when you just have the booty of the jeans left, you can stitch the bottom to make a purse shape. Similarly, make sure to use a thick needle that is proposed to use on denim to evade breaks.
Make a handle - Next step involve making handle. To make the handle, you can use strips of jeans legs that are 2” wide by 20” long and attach them to the bag. Also lace the belt through the belt loops and buckle it as if you were wearing it. For a shoulder bag handle, use one strip of 2”x 40” long denim.
The denim purse is thus ready, which can be customized in many ways in order to meet your requirements. So, carry this purse and enjoy the versatility of the look.
