My new bag
My old purse was falling apart, so I made a sturdy new one! It's just a basic messenger bag style sewn from pieces of old jeans. The sides, bottom, and front flap are green Jordache (they were given to me; I don't buy high waisted green jeans!), the inner front and back are from a blue jean wrap skirt (used pieces with pockets), and the straps attach to pieces with belt loops cut from brown Wranglers (that belonged to my dad). The strap goes to a laptop bag I don't use.

The face on the front is a patch of tan Wrangler (also Dad's) and red felt, with painted features.

thanks for the idea of making my vintage Calvin Klein skirt circa 1983 into a LARGE craft bag. Since I won't be wearing it again in this lifetime-lol-I figure that I might as well as get my $48.00 out of it!!!
