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.
These little unlined pocket purses have a boxed base. It gives them an attractive shape, I feel, but I have to admit that sewing through all the layers of the boxed base is very hard when there is a pocked involved as well!
