jeans, denim, purse, bag, sling
So, I'm in trouble. I have plenty of homework to keep me busy at the end of the work day, and I can't stop wanting to sew things!
So after turning in a few assignments, I started thinking of a pair of jeans I bought from the thrift store without trying on and, alas, were too small. And how I think the SEXIEST part of any pair of jeans is the fly.
...um...scissors. pins. SEWING MACHINE! NOW!
I figured it'd be a fun way to get to know my sewing machine before I pick up the bigger project...Learned about reinforcing seams and changing out my bobbin tonight.
And here's the outcome. I fought for nearly an hour trying to turn the strap (aka TUBE) inside out...ugh. But I'm sooo happy with how it turned out!
Something cute to haul around on the weekends with my phone, chapstick, and keys. nothing too gigantic. Perfect.
Since I didn't know it'd turn out so well, I didn't take pictures while I was doing...I think I'm going to start doing that!

(hope that comes out right. .I don't do much HTML) lol
Anyways, also get yourself a "jean" needle if you'll be doing many of these projects. They're thicker and won't bend and tear up your machine. And always, ALWAYS press out your seams. (if the fabric allows) It gives a nice crisp line and looks professional. God...I could go on and on with tips...but I'll try to leave you alone. lol Message me if you need advice.
PS. I think you're a natural.
