WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THE DENIM PATCHED PURSE FABRIC For the bag exterior, you will need a bunch of denim/jeans scraps, cut them in random sizes, also a bit accent fabric (black faux leather) for the lower panel. I use the sassy mushroom fabric (fabric 1) that I designed in my whimsical fabric collection (available at Spoonflower), and I got my canvas fabric (fabric 2) from Etsy, it's a cotton canvas duck in solid black color. For the interior fabric, you will need about 3/8 yard of cotton quilting fabric. I use the sassy mushroom fabric (fabric 1) that I designed in my whimsical fabric collection (available at Spoonflower), leftover from the Sassy Satchel project. INTERFACING & STABILIZER Fusible Woven Interfacing is what you need here to bind the denim patches together. ZIPPERS 9" long metal zippers for the zipper closure 7" long metal zipper for the front zipper pocket at least 7" long nylon coil zipper for the interior zipper pocket. HARDWARES D-rings 1/2" (1.2cm) inner measurements 2x OTHER 1/2" (1.2cm) wide premade leather strap OR sew your own strap.

Upcycling is not something that I do often in my sewing adventure, due to the fact that I don't own that many "stuffs" in my closet, except of handmade bags and quilts...;). Having to move around a lot since my young adulthood, minimizing my "belonging" was essential, and that mindset somehow still carries on even until now (although not as pronounced like it used to be). Nonetheless, every now and then I found some nice clothing items in my closet, (usually my husband's), that got partially damaged, unfixable, and unwearable yet the fabric is still in good condition, and that would be the perfect time for upcycling project. WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS PROJECT A pair of used denim Jeans (non-stretchy preferably) if your jeans have a bit of stretch to it, you may still use them. Just apply light interfacing (woven/ no stretch)to help stabilize the fabric. Cotton Quilting Fabric (for the lining/interior) You will need about 5/8 yard of fabric (approximately), I did combine different fabrics, leftover from previous project. 9" (teeth length) metal zipper For the front exterior pocket All purpose zipper (at least 8" long) For the interior zipper pocket 1 set of magnetic snap closure (2) 1" d-rings 1" adjustable strap slider 1/8" or 1/4" basting tape

Looking for a new exciting project to use up some fabric scraps? Try making this fabulous Collage Clutch Bag, performing the super fun collage patchwork technique. Finished bag measurements : Approx. 9 1/2" x 6 1/2" (24 x 16.5 cm). Features include : 1x interior zipper pocket 1x interior slip pocket Magnetic snap closure Adjustable Strap (optional) This post may contain affiliate links. Commission earned when you make a purchase through any of these links with no additional charge. Thank you for your support. WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS BAG FABRIC Exterior fabric : Assortments of fabric scraps in random shapes and sizes. Interior & strap Fabric : Cotton quilting fabric BATTING The batting works as the surface for us to layer the fabric pieces (think of it as the canvas for an artist. FABRIC BASTING GLUE STICK to temporarily hold the fabric pieces. THREAD (lots of it), we use thread to bind the fabrics together, and to add fun texture to the finished fabric. I use cotton thread from Aurifil; polyester thread would work great also. FUSIBLE WOVEN INTERFACING to reinforce the interior panel. I use Pellon SF101. MAGNETIC SNAP CLOSURE 18mm ALL PURPOSE ZIPPER at least 8" (20cm) long for the zipper pocket. 1/8" or 1/4" BASTING TAPE to baste the zipper. If opt for adjustable strap 1/2“ (12mm) inner measurement d-rings 2x 1/2” (12mm) inner measurement swivel hooks 2x 1/2” (12mm) inner measurement adjustable strap slider WHAT IS COLLAGE PATCHWORK The simplest way I could describe collage patchwork is a technique of layering and overlapping pieces of fabric scraps on a surface (can be batting, tulle, muslin, etc) to create a new "art fabric". My take on this collage patchwork is pretty simple, take a piece of batting, then add random pieces of fabric scraps, use fabric basting glue stick to temporary hold them together, then sew running stitches to bind these fabrics together. You can take this project to a new level by adding embroidery, beads, ribbon, appliques, or any fun embellishments that you can think of. There is no limit to express your creativity here.
