Here is my latest tulip bag. I made it with a pair of my hubby's old jeans and my first project for keeps using my new-to-me embroidery machine! I also made 2-sided straps for this one too.

what a pretty bag... :thumbup:

How pretty! What pattern did you use?

2 hour tulip by Janice Pope. I make and sell these bags. They are so fun to make. They can get a little thick under the foot of a machine, but if you take your time it's just fine. I have a Janome 1600 and it will sew anything. It is almost as special to me as my H3 truck.

COOL! I love the idea and especially love your choice of alternate color! Good job!

Thank you for the pattern info. I love it!

what a darling bag, just love it!! great jog!

That's a really cute bag. Great re-use of jeans.

Your bag looks different from the Janice Pope style, did you just place the straps at a different end? I like the way the sides go in with yours.

N I C E!!! The old jeans are "new" again!!

It's the same. I only did a trim on the pocket, 2 sided straps and embroidery on the back.

Oh, the reason the sides go in is because I have the button fastened. I just folded them in on the sides. I think that's what you mean. Well, i think any way. LOL my friends say it's dangerous when i think. ;)

Cute!

Very cute. How much do you sell them for? The embroidery is great, very pretty.

I sell them for between 25 and 45 dollars. Depends on embroidery and any special request. Most of them are 30. PM me if you would like more info. I have tons of fabric. 95% of my fabric is quilt shop.

Great Job!

Your color choices are beautiful, really dresses up the denim and I love the varigated color on the butterfly. You did a really nice job.

Wow!! That is so cute! Great job! :thumbup: :D

I just bought fabric to make this purse. Your covered button and two color straps are really nice details.

I havw this pattern and I love it. There is also a long steam tulip purse by the same gal. I have sold a few myself.

What a cute bag. It's a great way to recycle jeans. I love it. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Very cute purse!

Very neat...love denim and you've really breathed some new life into it.

Thanks everyone. When the designer gave me permission to make and seel them, I was thrilled because my DH wanted to know what I was gonna do with all of them. LOL now I have a "good excuse" to buy more fabric! :D

Love it.
