Fabric Walet sewing patterns
I did make this wallet from the Quilted fabric wallet tutorial from "that darn kat". I did use fabrics from Heather Bailey's Freshcut line that I bought from the wonderful Etsy shop Starlitnest. I have also added a pic of the wallet inside. Great pattern and beautiful selection of fabrics made in the store
free Summer Tote Bag Pattern

easy jeans purse tutorial
For those playing along at home, here's how I made it:
1. Cut off a pant leg below the knee.
2. Hem the cut edge.
3. Fold the pant leg in half, with both openings at the top; the original cuff of the jeans is the top of the bag, and the hemmed edge will make two pockets in front.
4. Sew all the layers together along the edges of the front "pocket".
5. Cut off a long section of the waistband, containing the buttonhole (you may have to remove a belt loop or two). Sew this to the inside back of the purse, and put a button in an appropriate spot on the front of the purse.
6. To make the strap, cut a strip of fabric from anywhere on the jeans, sew it into a tube, and attach at the sides
