...sewing, that is. I completed the second item on my list of needed restocks yesterday. These are time-consuming bags, but worth it I think. I made three Belinda bags a couple of months ago, and all have sold. This time I made five. That's a lot of jeans, folks! I think I cut up 20 pairs of jeans for these. All are lined with fabric from Mombasa which Debbie brought back from her last trip. It is lovely fabric with a linen feel to it. I think these would make great beach bags.
I'm sharing this at these link parties:

and entering it at the something old, something new challenge:
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.

Wow, I bet they did take a long time to make. Well worth it though. I hope you're making a good profit on these for the charity.
