I happened upon
this video and decided to make the Boston Bag. I had to order fusible batting, which I love. It took a long time because of all the seam ripping. I have lots of jeans, some with price tags still, that have become too big!!! One black pair has bling on the pockets! I've started a new one w/o seam ripping. We'll see if it works. The measurements were metric, which, I think, added to the precision. My cutting mat is only Standard. And most rulers! Now I am in need of a metric square ruler!
Also making grocery totes from these "scrap pants"! Other ideas appreciated.
