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 bags are great for a little girl who wants to be "just like mummy". They are quite quick to make (though the pattern was not as quick to translate from Japanese!)
The contrast strip in this is made from the remains of a jelly roll.
