Pattern to make two sporty, repurposed jeans handbags with handmade needlework detailing. The Blue Diamonds pattern makes a two handbag set. The large 13-1/2” wide x 10” tall  x 3-1/2” deep bag has front and side needlework panels. The second, smaller bag is a 12" x 8-1/2" zipper bag with two needlework panels and a front zipper pocket that is 6-1/2" wide x 5" tall. The smaller bag fits neatly inside the larger bag. The jean's front pockets are just inside the large bag and the hip pockets are on its back. The needlework has pulled thread embroidery with lots of blue diamonds in the design. The BB4124 Pattern book includes everything you will need to know to make your own bags and includes recommendations for successfully selecting just the right pair of old jeans to begin the project. 

Optional instructions included with the pattern:

• How to customize the needlework with your name or simplify by expanding the pulled thread work
• Padding to add protection for those carrying a computer
• Alternate jeans handle when the jeans waist band was too worn

As your bag will be made from unique materials, your bag results will vary from the photos shown.
