Jeans skirts are easiest, you don't have to cut the legs off and try to make an even bottom. The really isn't a pattern, just sew the bottom to create the bag, lay that on your lining and trace around the bag with about 1 1/2 inches extra at the top to fold over. mI use fusible fleece on my lining and add pockets however you want, then sew up the sides, insert into the bag and pin all around. I line my straps with matching fabric ( straps cut from one leg) , make a key clip on a tab, then insert straps and key clip between lining and bag, pin well, and sew around. Make yor tie or just use a belt. Each one is different, and if you try your first me, don't be too critical. They take a bit of practice, and you'll improve with each one. I set of evolved the design the more I made them
