Denim Clutch (Or Make Up Bag)

Dad's old jeans get a serious make-over!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/denim-clutch-or-make-up-bag • Posted by Frustrated Crafter

I made this clutch from the fabric from a pair of Dad's jeans that he finally destroyed them after years of yard-work and some sparkly fabric I had lying around. Images three and four show the little stitches I put in to make sure the gussets fold inward. The bag's not done just yet. I'll be adding a concealed handle and some embellishments, but couldn't wait to get it up on the project wall! The pattern is from "Making Handbags" by Ellen Goldstein-Lynch, Sarah Mullins and Nicole Malone. (It was a gifty from my buddy and partner in crafty-crime!)
