<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To make the handles, first cut a 2.5" strip of fabric that matches your inner lining. Then cut a 1.5" strip of fabric from the remaining denim that you have - you will probably have to piece together the denim strips to make one long enough for the length you desire.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Then, line up the three layers and stitch a 1/4" seam down one side of the handle (See photo).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There will be some overhang of the lining fabric when you have finished as this is 2.5" wide and everything else is 1.5" wide. Take the overhang and line it up down the left-hand side of the denim strip and again stitch a 1/4" seam all the way down.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I found that by creating this little triangle you can obtain a neater finish to your handle. I then stitched around the edges of the triangle to secure it in place.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the picture you can see that I have cut a piece of batting to go under the front piece. I have left some excess around the edges to account for any stretching of the denim material that may occur during sewing.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For this particular demonstration piece, I wanted to create a shape involving only straight lines and after a little research, came up with the following design. I drew it onto the fabric using an ordinary ballpoint pen and am hoping that the topstitching will hide this fact later on.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, I turned my attention to the inner lining. I cut out two pieces of fabric similar in shape to one of the sides of the bag. I then followed the same process as I did with the outer. 1/4" seam around three sides (not the top), boxed the corners and turned it inside out.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The final step is to place the inner bag around the outer bag and line up any seams so they match. I then stitched a 1/4" seam around the top opening of the bag. I turned the whole thing through an opening at the bottom of the inner bag and voila!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">First of all, turn your pair of jeans inside out. Then starting with one of the trouser legs, cut along the sewn seam (See my scissors pointing to it!) carefully, so as to keep the cut edge as straight as possible.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now, open out the trouser leg and you will see how much fabric you have to play with. Here, the width of the trouser leg will determine the maximum width of your bag.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At this point you must decide upon the height of your bag. </span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I have chosen a height of 18 inches.</span></div>

<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After making the necessary cuts, you should end up with two pieces of fabric as in the picture above. (Due to lighting conditions the colour of my fabric looks a little different but they are the same trouser legs - trust me!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I should add here that the two pieces are not rectangular in shape. Do not worry about this as they do not have to be - there are no bag police!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In my next post, I will be adding some batting to the back of each piece and quilting them. It is at this point that you can get creative with your stitches!</span></div>
