It’s alive! …I mean finished.

I’ve been making these reclaimed denim purses non-stop lately, but they were all intended for selling in my shop or other people. It’s been awesome! I figured I needed one for myself though, so this is the one I made for me.  My Pink Hearses Purse. ♥

The flap is totally lined  with a super-cool Pink Hearses cotton fabric. I love how the tri-colour, patchwork strap turned out. ♥

The inside is fully lined, and there’s a nifty pocket for stuff I don’t want to dig around for. ♥

Here’s a closer pic of the coffin applique I added to the front-flap. ♥ *happy dancing*

Reclaimed Denim Bags FTW ♥

I’m having so much fun being creative! This whole past week I was directing my creative efforts into a wonderful, re-purposing and recycling adventure in sewing. It’s been great! I also puttered around in PS5 a bit, to try and give my re-invented self a tangible image that represents me and the direction I’m going.  ♥

This one was my second bag. I love the way it turned out!

This Flame flannel was screaming for me. It makes me think of Mages in WoW. /giggle

This one was a skirt that I never, ever wore. I loved the way it looked in the store, but it just sat in my drawer forever. That super-cute Winnie the Pooh ribbon was around the hem, but now it’s the strap. *happy dancing*

Last Summer my Elflings and I were playing with procion dyes, and we practiced with LWI (low water immersion) method on some organic cotton velour and organic bamboo/cotton velour. What you see here lining the Pooh Bag is from some of that fun.
