I made a purse.. and more...

I wanted a new bag but didn't want to take long making it.. I didn't want to use good fabrics either lol
So I took a pair of old jeans that was soft and thin..
I took a pattern I received from Jane at ProjectsbyJane .I made it a tad bigger as I liked the shape of the clutch . (Sorry Jane I hacked your pattern! lol )
I used fabric scraps received from Sasha at StitchedbySasha.. thank you Sasha!
I used a old purse strap ..
and came up with this..HA.
 Like I said I used old fabric for the lining...in case I didn't like the outcome of it.. and wouldn't you know I love this bag!!!Its not even heavy like I thought it would be either.. the strap is adjustable so it can be a shoulder bag or sling bag.


I reused a couple of the pockets too.

I have this much more scraps to get through.. I decided about a week ago I MUST USE THEM .. 

I started off making these...My sister-in-law wanted them. I like the little one hehe.

I ordered more....yes more.. washi tape...this came from HouseofWashi on Etsy.. the dotted piece are little strips ..cute!


hmm what else can I show..
Oh I made home made stain remover !!! and it WORKS! I used about everything to get smashed down jelly out of my carpet.. I found on pinterest this simple solution ..one part hydrogen peroxide, one part baking soda and 2 parts water. Spray it on that nasty stain..( and it was nasty mean too) took a tooth brush at it and poof ... that sucker was gone like a freight train! 
this is good for whitening teeth too.. just a teaspoon of each ingredient with your toothpaste and brush those stains off your choppers! 

I hope everyone state side enjoys their holiday !!! 
Happy birthday America!

    Suzee!!!!! Your purse turned out so cute! I love how the pocket ended up on the outside and I love that you added another denim pocket on the inside!!!!! Does this mean I can't send you more scraps anytime soon? hehehehe

    Suzee, the bag is lovely! And you should always use nice fabric for the lining. I mean if you're making all that effort to make the bag and all. If you had kept the belt loops, you could insert a piece of fabric as the "belt". And isn't it nice the pocket is already there? Looks like a roomy bag too.
