Beautiful tutorial Debbie! I always learn something new and you graciously inspire us!

Always love your videos! The first bag I made was from a video of yours & I was successful! You are a gifted instructor! Thanks for another great video😊

This is a great idea for my 6 yr old granddaughter, she will love it. She can help me make it too! Thanks Debbie.

I love the detailed explanation you give. I have made 3 bag patterns by watching your videos. Thanks for sharing and reaching out to people via your videos.

Debbie, I wish I lived there, or your lived here... we could walk the dogs, have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee.....and I can just admire what you teach us.... I love this bag... Jon .

It's so very nice to see another tutorial from you. Love them much better than the live shows. Thanks!

Love this Debbie xx I love working with used denim

Great tutorial Debbie. I bought two pairs of denims from the Heart Foundation and made bags so win win on both counts with the money going to charity. One I made using fabric scraps so it ended up a patchwork effect. I then cut off one of the pockets to make a feature on one side. Love recycling 🤗🤗

I am excited! I love all your videos! Cute bag!

What a beautiful purse! thank you for sharing.

What a nice idea for a bag, especially a summer tote.

loving this Our Deb!! The open squares look really effective xxxxxx

Thank you for sharing this video. I love the way you teach, very clear step by step. Surely will make one.😍👌

Just finished making mine ... thrilled to bits with it

I think I'll give this a go, looks SO clever, yet so easy to achieve! I thought at first you had individually sewn on layers of suspended diamonds within empty squares... Like the criss cross sandwiches made for rag quilts, i thought it was mini ones of those stitched within square apertures! 😂 But, i will cut my layers and THEN attach my background fabric layer i think, cos i just know I'll end up cutting through the whole lot knowing me! I'll use a seam ripper, cos i dropped my fabric scissors nose tip down on the floor, and whilst still sharp, the end points do not nip into fabric anymore as they are not tightly overlapping! So they're useless for "snipping" accurately, they cut fine down the length of the blades, but not 1" at the ends! So seam ripper it'll be! 😘😘😘

Another lovely video and bag, tfs 😊

I always love your videos. All are really superb.... 🥰🥰🥰

så fin väska ,nu skall jag försöka mig på den . Tack underbara Debbi för din inspiration

Love this idea. Also would be great in a quilt.

Like this. My sister took her daughters old jeans, cut them up and starched them to a wall. It was really cool.

I love this idea x

Love it! Thanks Debbie...love n hugs Dottie xx

Lots of old denim AND two rolls of cork fabric just waiting to be used! YAY .. thanks

Love it. I’m going to make 500 of them

Adorei a ideia Parabéns

Great recycling project! I think that I would do the boxing & cutting before adding the back layer!

Luv it x

I don’t know what the proper name for this is but I call it peek a boo quilting. You can clip the points of the triangles off gradually from the centre for a different effect. Possibilities are endless.

I 💙 denim & ♻️ ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Beautiful J🥰 B ⚘😽

Hi Debbie, I hope you don’t mind but I’ve shared this to a Facebook group I’m in that is all about recycling fabrics and other things. This is perfect as people are always after ideas for using preloved denims. Jackie

Obrigada por dispor a legenda em centímetros 🙏

Hi Debbie. Thanks for the great bag project. Something that could make it easier to cut the squares up with would be to remove the backing denim before sewing, pin other layers and puncture the center of each square with an awl. Then you can now cut into each square when sewn, the three top layers all at once. Cheers.

Lovely! Funny, I have jeans in my stash pile to make a bag for my daughter! I do hold my breath when you trim threads with your huge scissors😱🙈😂

Very lovely bag, Debbie! Would you be showing how to make the denim placemat?

Hi Debbie, I really liked the book cover you showed (made by Lesley Tawton). I was wondering if this might be made into a future tutorial, as I think that it would make a great gift. I have just started to sew and think this would be a good beginner project. I also love the idea that I can use what fabrics I have to hand. Many thanks for your tutorials they have really helped and encourage me. 💜🌸🙂

U read my mind I have loads of my old crutchless 😂 jeans cut in "portions" ready to make a bag or two ...btw it was cycling everyday that killed them !!😂😂

Świetna torba :D Co trzeba zrobić żeby nie przemakała w razie deszczu? Pozdrawiam :D

I made this bag on the weekend. I had so much fun, it took me quite a while as I added a recessed zipper & an open pocket & zipper pocket to the lining. Just in time for the Christmas Party at my dealers. The theme for the day is to bring something you have repurposed, so Thank you Debbie it was the perfect project for me. Do you have a web site where I can upload my bag photo?

Nice one! Will there be a pattern for the cork mat?👏🏻

Hello Debbie if we make this bag in complete cotton fabric will the cuts not make the fabric fray a lot ?? Also will it be strong enough to make with a cotton fabric ?

Do you think this would work just as well with felted wool???

I think you meant to say your ruler is 6" × 24"........??? 😄😘 Great bag by the way, gonna make this for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. 👍🎅 x x

What type of clover scissors??? Length? Style?

Thanks so much for this. Going to use this design on a large shopping bag. In my woodshop I use equipment that can take your head off without a second thought but using the sewing machine scares the giblets out of me!!!

What iron are you using?

👍👍👍

A cheese grater works great for fraying. Just be careful of your knuckles...
