Recycled Denim Pouches

Hi everyone!

Well with only a few more days to go, I hope you are not too stressed!

I have only one more commission to complete (tomorrow) and then I am officially off work! Yay!

Despite the busyness this week, I did manage to get 2 presents made.  One is a secret santa (which has already been gifted) and one is a thank you gift.

It's always 'playtime' for me when it comes to re-purposing my denim hoard stash!  But this was my first time trying denim half square triangles.

I kept the half square triangles fairly big (by patchwork standards) and they worked like a dream. The bags are approximately 11.5" wide by 9" tall, lots of room for all the accessories us ladies seem to accumulate!

I love the finish of Aurifil 12wt wool thread on denim.

And some tabs saved from a beloved denim shirt add the perfect finishing touches.

And remember, never throw away those broken or unwanted pendants or charms!  You never know when they'll come in handy!

Happy recycling!
