Pt.2 DIY: How To Make A Denim Purse

[mzbiz22]

I like that! I'm gonna have to find time to finish all the creations I started! Great hand sewing too...its the only sewing I do;))

[Sewing4Christ]

nice job'

[Moms2da2ndPower]

SUPAER CREATIVE AND CUTE!

[hollagurl154]

what kind of needle and thread do u use? i know denim is too tough for regular needles and thread.

[foshomoe121]

i loved how you sewed without a sewing machine! We don't have one at my house, so it's great to see how such a cute thing comes out without a sewing machine!

[thelaughingreptile]

This is the best jean purse I've seen...most of the time they look weird...but this one came out great! Thanks for sharing!

@dida079

Thank you so much for supporting The Discount Trendsetter Show. I will be posting a new DIY video this weekend.

[DJSamization]

i was wondering if you could make a denim hat like a cap if you could?

[DiscountTrendsetter]

DJSamization,

Are you talking about a baseball cap? If so, I will see what I can do. In the meantime, please check out my video entitled," How To Make A simple Hat." You may be able to use some of the steps in the video to make a hat.

[DJSamization]

@DiscountTrendsetter yes thats excactly what i ment

[empressgong]

really cute! i actually made my old long jeans into long skirts just use a pretty fabric for the triangle part

[kdw4jc]

D, you got me thinking:

(1) Sew velcro to front pockets to secure them closed. This will create great storage for cell phone, ipod or keys (on a key fob hung from the belt loop near the pocket)

(2) Scarves are popular now. Accent bag w/ a little scarf tied to 1 belt loop.  Or get a drawstring effect by pulling a long scarf through all the belt loops

[kdw4jc]

(3) Kids grow out of their jeans fast. Helping a little girl make this tote from her own jeans (bedazzle it, etc.) will teach her some life skills (sewing, creative ways to save money & reuse things) & help her explore & express her own style. Her new bag would be great 4 crafts, playdates, trips to the library, etc. That skirt would also make a cute throw pillow for her room.

[kdw4jc]

D, thanks for this vid. Love the tote & your style! Clever how u positioned the straps to make it hug/hang close to the body. Sharp & current!!! Plus, it would be harder for someone to reach into it in a crowd ... perfect for art fairs, festivals, flea markets, etc. ~ unlike some tote bags that hang open in the front & back.

A few studs along the waist band might be cute, too.

[RazzyDiane]

I think I would want a bottom to the bag and maybe a zipper at the top to keep things from falling out. for the bottom, I would choose a long oval or rectangle and sew it in the bottom so that it goes all the way around. For the zipper, I think I would measure the top of the inside of the jeans, cut 2 small denim strips and sew a zipper to both strips, and then sew the strips to the inside top of the bag, maybe a half an inch to the side. Anyhow, I will have to try this out. It looks cute!

[Girlllpuhlease]

I don't know why people put a negative. you were give another option to do this. cool!

[RazzyDiane]

My comment was not negative. I liked what she did. However, I was just saying that for me I would expand this even further, and how I would do it. That is not negative. Negative would be saying it sucked or it was ugly, neither of which is true. As for the other option, it would not be for me, as I am overweight and do not look good in skirts. Although, it would look great on my daughters who are normal weight.

[Girlllpuhlease]

I agree with you that your comment wasn't negative!

[RazzyDiane]

Ohhh, okay...I thought you were...my bad. I am sorry I misunderstood what your statement. Sometimes, it is easy to misunderstand the written word without the other senses to tell how a statement is actually meant. Anyhow, I do think that D. Gully is creatve and a has a lot of great ideas. Are you going to make a tote bag or skirt?

[Girlllpuhlease]

I am going to make a bag. I already have long jeans skirts so a bag to match it will be great. :) It is okay that you misread it. It is quite hard to read intention through messages.

[ninajeanette2]

Good basic idea but i would do soooo much more with it, u can add more fabric at the pockets etc, add ribbon, buttons, use fabric to sew some cool handles.

its a lot better using a sewing machine and it will last better.

i ll make one and see if i can send u a picture

[DoshUnScripted]

After you add all that, it would look fabu(1908's), however, it would be expensive, and that wouldn't make it to the "DISCOUNT" trendsetter show.

Git it ta-gethah baaabay(wanda sykes).

[fabulouslystyle]

wow am so happy cause i have so many designer jean that i no longer wear but yet have some very cool design I'll definitely will be trying your idea out. and i love hand bags so with that on my mine I'll be saving on my collection of bags. stay fabulous and god bless

[MakeupbyGiGi]

Girl I love this Idea. I think I'll work on this project today. and Its great to do with the kids

[cjsizzle06]

i love this, can you make this out of a dress as well?

[DiscountTrendsetter]

I never thought to make this handbag out of a dress but I am sure you can. If you try it, please send me some pictures. I am sure it going to turn out amazingly.

[lovetocheer871]

u could put like those scarves like the really light ones in the belt loops to decorate it

[mommy2kainoa]

Just love your bubbly personality and great ideas.

[MosaicMaiden]

Lovely bag!

Thank you!

[macaroniandchesse12]

i like the bag wow thats cute

[Uaintme41]

The larger the jeans the bigger the tote. I think I'll buy an inexpensive pair and do this with my daughter.

[xsxuxhx]

pretty cool,

[Josie482]

I love that she hand-sews everything! I love DIY but I don't have a machine, so I get frustrated easily...

[rongellagold]

I will definately do this project with my 8 yr old, she likes sewing and she will love this

[PaiNTiNgStArZ]

wow and you sew it all by hand WOW

YOU ARE AMAZING!

[nvraho]

Get tip of the week also..

[DiscountTrendsetter]

Thank you for the lovely comment. Do you have a picture of the "bottie bags? I not sure what it looks like. If I had a picture, I may be able to make it.

[everlastingcurves]

I love it!!! I'd been waiting for part 2 and I love the way the bag looks. It's cool that you have the mindset to try and make something instead of buying it. It shows how creative and stylish you are. Go head mama!!
