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.

Big zippered pocket bag
A church friend has enabled the making of these bags, by kindly sewing up a multitude of pocket squares into sets of four. "All" I then had to do was add the gussets, zips and linings.
When I initially started with making bags for Utange, I told a friend (who frequently reminds me of this) that "I can't do zips".
Well, clearly I can do zips now.
That's not to say I enjoy using them.....!
However, I have had so many demands for bags with zips that I am having to overcome - or face head on - my dislike!
