Yes, I am still using the same pair of Old Denim Pants!
This is the 3d Project and I am really enjoying creating and sharing these projects with you. The previous time I removed the pockets (see the mug rugs, Tutorial 30). Now I shall use the “discolored patches” where the pockets were attached to the denim pants.
Step 1 – The place where the pockets were, shows this beautiful discolored “pockets” and this is just the pockets I used on this Clutch Purse.
Step 5 – With a straight stitch on your sewing machine stitch the flap to the pocket with the design. I used the embroidered pocket as the back panel.
Step 7 – Measure a straight line “v shape” and stitch a running stitch with your sewing machine on the edge of the flap.
Step 8 – Fray the edge of the flap. The running stitch (done in step 7) will stop the frayed fabric.
Step 11 – Place the front panel on top of the back panel and allign the pockets to mirror image each other. Secure these 2 panels with pins. With a running stitch secure the front and back panels to each other.
