Denim Projects

I started out with a pile of 15 pairs of very used overalls, that a friend gave me. So far I have made 2 cute purses and have cut the rest for a cover for our futon. Here are the purses...

 

For the one above, I used the two back pockets from one of the pairs, sewed them together and then took leftover scraps to make the strap. I really like the worn, frayed look so I left the edges undone, and then washed and dried it to get the fraying started. I love this one, I use it for when I want to carry a purse but not tons of stuff. It's great because it essentially has a middle section and then a pocket on each side for dividing stuff up :)

The second one I made is out of the bib part of the overalls. For this one I used 2 sets of overalls.

I think I love this one the most! I added some of my favorite pins to "jazz" it up a bit :)

Eco Friendly Valentines

Now don't get me wrong - I LOVE ROSES!! But this year, maybe think about giving something unique and handmade. It will mean so much more than the standard delivery of overpriced flowers. Here are some really great, eco-friendly items for Valentine's Day! These were all found on Etsy! Please do your part this Valentine's Day to also love the earth :)
