No Sew Lined Denim Bag
Who doesn't love using left over fabric scraps to make a project! And we all probably have denim fabric scraps in our stash - you know old jeans scraps with pockets and seams still on! Perfect to make a small shoulder bag! But not just any denim shoulder bag - but a no-sew lined denim bag with an outside pocket! How cool is that!
Let's begin by measuring the area around one of the jeans back pockets large enough for a small bag - around 9"x9.5" and cut out.
Then line up that piece with part of the pant's leg to cut out for the back.
Next, place both pieces separately on the fat quarter material, edge to edge.
Run a generous amount of Fabri-Tac fabric glue along the tops of both pieces and seal together.
While the glue is drying, cut off two denim belt loops, smoothing them out.
Then pushing the fabric loop through metal rings, folding over and gluing ends together, in place.
Spread the fabric and denim out, right sides up and glue loops down along edges at top denim side and clip in place until glue dries.
Next, place right sides together, and run a generous amount of fabric glue 1/4" around the edges, leaving an opening to turn the fabric inside out. Be sure to smooth-out all of the glued edges and let dry.
Then turn the piece inside out once the glue is no longer tacky and is completely dry. Close the opening used for turning with additional glue and let dry.
Straighten seams and corners of the bag and check for any areas that might need additional glue.
Attach a magnetic snap for closing by inserting prongs into lining fabric and then closing prongs with pliers.
Remove the end clip-ons from a couple of old neck lanyards (you know the type you might have leftover from event IDs) and attach to a cut-off pant seam to use as a shoulder strap for a cool look! Just perfect to carry an iphone, keys and wallet!
