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.
