Materials Needed:
- An old pair of denim jeans
- Fabric scissors
- Thread and sewing machine
- Zipper
- Measuring tape
- Pins
Step 1: Prepare the Denim
Start by cutting off one leg of the jeans. Make sure to choose a leg that is in good condition with no rips or tears. Lay the fabric flat and smooth out any wrinkles.
Step 2: Measure and Mark
Using a measuring tape, determine the desired size of your clutch purse. Mark the measurements on the denim fabric with a pen or chalk. Remember to leave a little extra space for seam allowance.
Step 3: Cut and Sew
Once you have marked the measurements, carefully cut out the denim fabric. Now, fold the fabric in half so the backside is facing outwards. Pin the sides of the fabric together to secure it in place.
Using your sewing machine, sew along the pinned sides. Make sure to leave the top open for the zipper. Trim any excess fabric and iron the seams to ensure a neat finish.
Step 4: Add the Zipper
Measure the length of your open top and buy a zipper of the corresponding size. Pin the zipper in place along the top edge of the denim fabric on the inside. Sew the zipper in place, making sure it is securely attached.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Turn the clutch purse right-side out and give it a final press with a warm iron. You can now add any additional embellishments or decorations if desired. Be creative!
And voila! You have successfully made your own denim clutch purse. Now you can rock this stylish and eco-friendly accessory with any outfit.
