I finally finished this jeans bag which I started during Sharon's bags of fun challenge, and now my daughter is the happy recipient. I was going to embellish it a little more with a touch of hand embroidery or beads, but Ombeline wanted me to keep it simple. Probably just as well, because this way I spent more time on making the handles nice and sturdy, and doing a good lining with an inside cell phone pocket.
Not only did I finish this, but I also took out one of my quilt UFOs and did some needle turn appliqué, and worked on another little thing. What lead to this sudden productivity? I straightened up my craft and sewing area. I really should do this more often because not only is my space neater but I actually found a 10€ bill while I was putting things in order- talk about instant pay off :o)
That looks beautifully made.

Nice bag! And you have good taste for music.

Hi honey, I love the bag - and where did you find the perfect butterfly ornament? Lucky Ombeline, I hope she realizes how talented her mommy is! The cell-phone pocket was a neat idea too, I guess a sine-qua-none these days for teenagers on the go ...

I enjoy your blog ! That's a nice looking bag. I cleaned up my sewing room this past weekend but all I got was a vacuum bag full of dust and no cash !

Very cute! I think that I may make something similar for my daughters!

The bag is darling! Very funny about the found money ... I hope you used it to treat yourself with a little something special!
