Old Jeans Purse Pattern *

The Old Jeans Purse Pattern by All Dunn Designs is a pattern for making a purse from a pair of men's jeans. Pockets are reused on the outside for keys, glasses, and pen. Front closes with a buttonhole side of the waist band and a belt loop. Lining has pockets on each side. Strap is built into the body of the purse and buttons - it can be adjusted. Size is 12 in. wide by 10 in. high (body of the purse - does not include strap).

Materials Needed:

• 1 pair old jeans (men sizes will have more space, especially boot leg jeans)
• 3 jean buttons
• 1/2 yd lining (cotten or cotten blend will work well)
• 1/2 yd fusible interfacing
• Thread that matches the stitching in the jeans
• Razor blade or rotary point cutter for removing pocket and waistband from jeans.
