While visiting Salvage Love a few days ago I saw an image of a denim sunburst. I have a few pairs of jeans lying around that a friend gave me, so I mimicked the pattern on this clutch. The original idea was here: http://salvagelove.net/2012/03/08/recycling-denim/ Sewing this bugger up was a pain because I used cardboard as lining for the walls of the clutch. I couldn't flip it inside out and back again easily, so some sewing had to be mucked up via the right side of the material. Ho well. It's still cute! I used seam tape to glue on the sunburst. Sewed on the button.
