This was a variation on the applique style. In this case the embroidery came from a pack of 12 different cartoon cat poses. Rather than complicating it too much with lots of different fabrics, I settled on two. In the shop, neither of them were especially "catty" - one was flowers and the other a batik style pattern - but somehow they appealed for this project. I was so pleased with the resulting bags!
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.
The bags looks fabulous! X
