I had great fun working on my March Project Spectrum! My sewing machine was kicking up a fuss after years of inaction, but after much tender and loving care (i.e. a bit of oiling and a lot of swearing), it decided to cooperate. I have decided to have it serviced soon as I feel this is only the beginning to many more adventures together.
So with an old pair of jeans, a piece of fabric and a copy of Marie Claire Idees, I now present this bag which is my contribution to the March Project Spectrum. Hope you like it...
Oh My.....that is just too cute. I am going to have to try that. What a great idea. Wait until I show my daughter. She'll love it too.

Great use for an old pair of jeans! It looks lovely, especially with that lining.

It´s absolutely cute - I love it! When I was about 16 I made several bags out of old jeans for me and my very very best friends, and yours is so nice and cute and much more prettier. A wonderful project and a wonderful idea.

That bag looks really great. As a kid I had a storebought bag like that, that I just LOVED. Might be something to look into it and DD would probably appreciate it too ;-))
