The pattern for these bags came from this month's Popular Patchwork magazine, which is a bag making special with patterns for 13 bags inside. I am currently cutting out the second set of bags I intend to make from this magazine. These bags were my first make. I found them surprisingly fast to make. I think I will use the feature panel idea on other bags, but I may try a different shape. These are small bags and would be good as handbags I think.
I'm sharing this bag at the following link parties:
Things I've Done Thursday
Hookin Up with HoH
This blog shows my recycled denim creations, along with tutorials for items I have designed myself. I collect old jeans (a strange collection, I know!) and cut them up to make bags, purses, animals and other items of varying sizes and shapes. I then sell these to raise money for weomen and children in the town of Utange, near Mombasa, in Kenya. I help women to set up their own businesses and am supporting the building of a new school for disabled children.

Oh I like that little foldover flap, and that the strap is attached lower down on the bag - great ways to "change up" the look of a bag!
