Some of the jeans bags I have been making
#71
Jean Purse's
Wish you luck, too! I don't have any advice, as this is my first, too!! I have nearly 60 purses finished, along with 50 tissue covers and a few other bits and pieces, and most of my purses are all priced at $35.00 for the jeans bags, and $45.00 for most of the others. I'm a bit nervous, as I have a lot invested in these and really need to sell them to justify the expense, plus, what will I do with all of them of they do not sell???

Actually, after seeing a video on the Internet and a free pattern I printed off a while ago, each one is custom made due to the fact each pair of jeans are a bit different. I made straps from one leg, and just cut lining, fuse it with fusible fleece, add pockets, and sew the lining together. Add matching fabric to the straps insert the lining and sew up Rund the top. Make a tie and that's about it. It is a bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, measuring correctly, etc, they go together nicely. You don't really need a pattern.

Jill, those are wonderful!!! Are they open at the top or do they close in some way? Do they have pockets, etc inside? Just curious. You have done a great job on them!!! Good luck at your sale. Hugs and smiles!

Thanks, Linda! they are opened at the top. Haven't figured out how to add magnetic snap yet and really don't like Velcro. They have pockets inside, key clip, and matching tissue packet cover.
