Hi Ajc.. thank you for the kind comments.. yes its a mistake with music.. all my current tutorials are without music.. great to learn my tutorials are working... Thank you :-)
Hello! I realize this DIY is a couple yrs old but I just had to tell you how excited I am as I follow you through this!! I lost my 18yo son from an unknown medical condition. I kept the clothes he passed away in😲😢😥😪😭😭 It wasn't until last wk I saw someone with a jeans purse and it was SO beautiful ! I found this diy and I'm on my way to keeping something SO VERY DEAR TO ME with me each day! I'm going to add some charms depicting our lives together with material strips from his shirts, like a hobo bag. I want to thank you for an easy sewing presentation!! God Bless!!!
jannyb55 I really enjoy your work but please adjust your audio so you can be heard better. Thank you looking forward to seeing you new styles coming out. From Ms. K
After reviewing both parts of your tutorial video, I discovered you really do not need music. Your tutorial is so very well done; very detailed; very informative,with nice tonal quality & pacing. Background music is just a "bit" of an overall distraction. You have the ability to do an excellent teaching without the aid of music. Your tutorial was the very first one I have been able to follow from start to finish and feel secure in making my first denim bag. Keep up the good work!
Hi Lucy... what a pleasure to know my video helped such a young girl to make a bag... take care sweetheart.. I am sure your mom is very proud of you :-) I am proud of you too :-)
Excellent instruction......and I know by now that you know about the Music background.....so I am looking forward to more vid tutes w/o the music....I agree...you don't need background....just your natural voice is very pleasant to hear and understand nicely....I do thank you for noticing your viewers and their concerns about this.....Thanks for your valued time and tute....I just found a whole "nest" of goodies to use for these projects....both jeans shorts and short jean skirts....huge variety of styles with all kinds of "extra's" on them, re: buckles, snaps, pleats and various cuts and designs and stages of wear too....fancy pockets that are not just "plain'' ....looking forward to making some FUN Jean Bags with them.... Ken from Orlando, Fl.
Dear Izzy the videos that you've made are really to die for . The whole process is very systematic and I don't think anyone could explain it better . And yes you are really good , you don't need the music .
How inspiring. I kept 2 old jeans from hubby and my middle son. Started doing the bag and I'm about to make the handles. I will do another one for my daughter's partner. Just need lining and making art for him. I've sustained a bad injury and was looking for inspiration when I came across your channel. I see your videos have been there for a long time. Thank you! You made a few days brighter.
I love your videos, they are a lot of help. Glad to hear your going to address the music. I can tell you've been sewing for a while. It's been a very long time since I've sewn but. It's coming back to me, with your help. Thank you again :)
Hi Rucha, I personally like Janome or Brother .. but other brands are equally good, just make sure they have basic stitches like zig zag, stretch stitch and button hole. The rest of the fancy stitches normally are for show and they don't get used. Also see if you can get one where you can make the feed dog up or down.. this comes in handy if you wish to do embroidery in future... Sorry if this is too many things to consider? all the best :-)
You are so talented!! Not to mention that you are also a wonderful instructor. I enjoyed your video very much. I have almost finished 3 bags. I bought some jeans at a garage sale, washed them and now using them for the purses. Getting ready to make the straps. Yay!! My granddaughters love these as well. I am teaching them to sew a little at a time since they are 7 and 6. So much fun!! Thanks for sharing your talents!!!
Hi Bailey.. What an honour I have inspired another 12 year old... thank you for commenting my sweet... I am sure if you give it another go and take one step at a time, you can finish the bag.. and you can show off to all your friends what a talented little person you are :-)
I love your video. I was given a pair of Levi's from my best friend to make something out of and I followed your video on making a denim purse and the purse turned out great.It only took me a couple hours to make it. She will love it. I will definitely make more... Thank you so much for clear and thorough instructions. So much better to watch a video than to follow written directions and see a few pictures.
Wonderful video and even though the music made it hard to hear. Your visual guidance/instructions makes this bag easy enough my 3 year old granddaughter can make this. Thank you for your time and this awesome video. I can't wait to get started!!!!
Aside from the music which made it challenging to hear, yours is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen for this project. I did mine almost exactly the same, but instead of a hem stitch, hand stitched a blind stitch for the lining, so the stitches aren't visible.. love the beautiful pink shirt you used for yours.. thanks for the pointers :)
Hi Klazi....... Thank you so much... Its an honour to receive a comment from you. Yes I will keep it in mind about the music in all my future tutorials... I learnt most of these things from my mom.. use to sit and watch her sew all the time. Later I went to study fashion. Send me pics of your creations... I would love to have a look...
Hello Izzy, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I am happily making these bags now thanks to you. May i say also what a lady you are, se well presented and spoken, your family must be so proud of you, and you have become a little hero of mine now! Kindest Regards, Angela from Australia
Thank you...your video was very instructional ; it did not matter to me , that the music was too loud. It was relaxing to hear, while watching you make the bag. Your efforts are appreciated. Be Blessed !
OMG, thank you for this tutorial. I am a beginner, I mean like no sewing experience and this is day four since i got my machine. I was able to complete each step with no mistakes. perfect teacher and easy to follow. I made my out of yellow skinny jeans, brown shirt for the lining and lace on the front and back. it came out cute. Thank you again
Excellent photography! Really love your choice of contrasting fabric with denim! The result is fabulous, and you are a very good teacher, meticulous with instructions. So glad you have learned the lesson about noisy background. No one needs any distraction when learning. The din drowns out your perfect soft voice, which needs no enhancement from any soundtrack. Thanks for the tips!
Same here- great video, overpowered by the sound but your instructions are easy to follow . And such a cute purse! I've been saving my old denim for years, thank you for the ideas. Subscribed .
Thank you so much for showing how to do this. Your instructions are so clear that i could follow even when the music intruded a little. I have also watched your how to make a skirt from jeans, brilliant! i'll never throw a pair of trousers away again :)
And many good explanations fait..mais it would have been perfect if it were not for the music, covering your voice. Congratulations super beautiful work
My denims was quite stiff so it sat flat... yes you can sew a collar bone, or a traditional bone to the sides to make it sit right. And you can sew a cardboard or acrylic sheet. cover it with fabric and just sew the fabric to the side triangles... Good idea...
I love this. I am using this to make my little granddaughter a small hand bag out of a pair of her jean shorts that she has long out grew. Thank you so much for this.
I really enjoy your tote bag tutorials, and recycling fabric projects. These are great for learning to sew with a minimum cost, and useful after as well. I work with teen girls. Love the music too (even if a touch too loud, because it's hard to hear your instruction).
Thank you benny.. You are very kind. I am glad to be of help. Send me a picture when you make your bag, also I have made a new version of this bag where you can put in a zip like a normal hand bag... you can find it in my channel. hope you like it ? :-)
Thanks for making this video. I love how your directions were easy to follow. I especially enjoy the segment of this video dedicated to squaring and lining.
Hi Sacdia ... Yes good idea... but i work full time so this is just a hobby now... so i share the ideas... if I had a business i would do it.. thank you...
Music is far too loud but I watched your video on MUTE and was able to follow it without any problems, you have made a fantastic video.. Thank you so much, I love my bag and want to make another straight away. Thank you :) x
Hi Dee... I have some videos of india and my workshop, i will be uploding it very soon. Some of it has got nothing to do with sewing or recycling... but just people around me... so thank you for asking. :-)
You are an amazing lady! I like how with recycled things you just get in there with confidence and cut and sew! You have inspired me to make a fabulous Gloria Vanderbilt Pink Denim Jean bag lined with beautiful cotton pink ribbon gold threaded striped material and added bling. I am so happy with it, I will make more for a boutique. What would be a fair price? Please continue doing the recycle thing! you have awesome ideas!
I loved this tutorial, you have a lovely voice, it is very pleasant to listen to (so no need to worry). Your instructions are very clear. I have just made new fitted slip covered for my sofa which has given me a lot of confidence in my sewing abilities, so now to make myself a new bag. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Izzy... thank-you for sharing this project. I have enjoyed making my handbag from old jeans. I will never get rid of a pair of jeans again now that I know how to up-cycle them.
Hi Nora Thank you for your kind words... I try to do my best to share my creativity.. I would charge a minimum of £15 - £20 here in Uk.. I dont know much of the US market... Send me a picture I would love to see what you have made? I am currently working on some new projects and will be uploading soon.... Thank you and take care
I have old jeans that I would like to recycle into a bag. I don't know how to start. I'm glad I found your video. Thanks for the tutorial. Pls. no need for background music. Your voice is beautiful I need to hear it. Take care.
Outstanding! Your explanation and your demonstration are superlative and the result is an adorable one-of-a-kind bag. Count me in as a faithful follower of your work.
The music is a bit loud but I appreciate you actually talking and explaining each step. So many videos I've come across are music only. Thank you for the easy to follow directions. I'm going to make this for my daughter tomorrow. ❤
Excellent video! Your video inspired me to make a jean purse for my granddaughter. Wish I knew how to show you. It came out really nice for the first time. I created my own little touch. I had a chain belt and use part of it on the front of the purse. I didn't think I could do it. Thank you again!!
Great project. I just made the bag from start to finish. It's my first bag ever, so it's not perfect but I am happy with the results . . . and that I finished a project I started. Thank you, and I look forward to more of your sewing tutorials.
This video tutorial is great!!! The music is much louder in part 2 but I could still follow. I made one today but made it a dog carrier and used a leather belt for the shoulder strap!!! Thank you
Thank you, the video is clear and does exactly what it says on the box, very impressed and I'm off to make my bag. No need to mention the music! but that is a minor problem ;) the rest is first class. Thanks again.
I love stitching and found this video of yours very helpful.. Just found an old pair of jeans of my son and will make a similar bag . Thankyou, from Mussoorie, India
Excellent project... I was looking for a project to use up some clothes that are brand new with tags that a store cup up. I found them while dumpster diving. I didn't want to see them in the landfill so I rescued them. I can sew and quilt so I will subscribe and look for ideas to use these. Thanks for this bag tutorial... it's a very cute bag and you made it easy. As for the music.. I have messed up lots of my videos at times.. it's a learning curve for sure.. but for the most part your video was great!
I loved the way you explained the step by step tutorial. I made my first denim bad following your video and the bag looks great. I have a person wanting to buy it but I have no idea how to price it. Would you please give me your opinion on the price if possible. Thank you, Andrea
I zzy, I thoroughly enjoyed this jeans bag video. Your directions are very clear. I loved your choice of the lining. It made the bag POP! I can't wait to make one. The only negative is the music is too loud as stated by others. I would prefer no music because it distractsme.
Hi, this bag (paet 1 and 2) is exactly what I have been looking for. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. May I ask if I may use this pattern in making the bags to sell please? (not selling the pattern) thank you very much.
Your instructions are great and look easy,I love your patience, great job.can you please do it again without music, because I really want to make one. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge!!
I have been won'ting to make a handbag out of some of my old jeans.. Thanks for sharing your video... and i love the music it helps me to really get into the sewing...
Hello thank you for your tutorials I have watched each of the ones on how to make the denim purse plus the straps it is very helpful indeed I plan on making it as a gift for a friend
It's very nice and neat...iam definitely going to try this...but the music overrides your voice in between...but you did a wonderful job...keep up the good work❤my husband passed away on the 24/11/2022 and i didn't want to give his jeans away as they are practically new including his shirts...now i know what to do with the jeans...need to think of what to do with his shirts
I just saw the tutorial. Amazing!! I just subscribed. I will try to make this denim bag. I had planned to throw away some of my husband's old jeans. I won't now. Thank you so much!!
thank you, great video. I saved a bunch of old jeans for project time with my nieces&nephews. In future videos, could you give some simpler alternatives to completing the items? i feel like the handles had a much higher difficulty level with a lot of machine sewing compared to the bag itself. The bag had a very low difficulty level, with very little sewing. The bags sewing could have easily been done by hand, with liquid sew, or on a compact/kids machine. The difficulty & time commitment really jumps up for the handles. I'm the kids& i will figure something out. It's just that otherwise your video was one of the few on youtube that was really step by step doable for kids with no sewing experience I would have loved to have followed it from start to finish. Thanks again. i subscribed & look forward to watching other videos. Auntie Lisa
I love this idea better than the others I have seen made. Great idea for recycling an old shirt too. Do you have any job ideas about how to make the bag where you can close it? I thought maybe Velcro. My other idea has been maybe just a scarf to tie around it. Thanks for the great idea.
Wonderful tutorial. My husband goes through a lot of jeans with his job. I've recycled the legs in to dog toys and always wanted to use the cut-offs for a tote bag. I have a touch of arthritis in my hands, which makes sewing by hand painful. Do you think stitch witch (iron-on webbing) would work for the liner?
Love this...I want to make recycled bags to help animal rescues. I have a lot of upholstery fabric that I was going to use for projects but never did...now have a plan to re-purpose into bags...thanks for sharing. After seeing this, I think I might be able to add a lining successfully...a lot of helpful hints here.
Oh my goodness. This is how I make jeans bags, except for sewing those two points on the lining and bag together. I learned something! I just bought three pairs of jeans for making bags from, so I'll try to remember these tips.
It´s great. I am for sure try to do a bag like that. Some things i couldn´t hear properly because the music was beautiful, but too load. But thank you so much. It´s a great idea :D
Hi Ajc.. thank you for the kind comments.. yes its a mistake with music.. all my current tutorials are without music.. great to learn my tutorials are working... Thank you :-)

The demo was great but I couldn't hear what you were saying in the 2nd part due to the music. Your vids are so good you don't need music :-)
jannyb55 thank you.. learnt my lesson and no music in all the current ones I am doing..
jannyb55
I really enjoy your work but please adjust your audio so you can be heard better. Thank you looking forward to seeing you new styles coming out.

Well I am not 12 year old but you surely have inspired me to convert my old jeans into bags... best wishes from Spain.

Who loves the pink shirt ? I was like🤪 "no don't ruin the shirt". Darling🌺 bag and color!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I love this. I am using this to make my little granddaughter a small hand bag out of a pair of her jean shorts that she has long out grew. Thank you so much for this.

I loved the project, but I struggled to hear your instructions on how to bc the music was louder than your voice...Thanks for being a blessing
I like the way you do step by step............beautiful. ..........
used to make this and sew by hand back in the 1970's but we never decorated them with other fabrics. lol very nice job!
Outstanding! Your explanation and your demonstration are superlative and the result is an adorable one-of-a-kind bag. Count me in as a faithful follower of your work.
The music is a bit loud but I appreciate you actually talking and explaining each step. So many videos I've come across are music only. Thank you for the easy to follow directions. I'm going to make this for my daughter tomorrow. ❤

You are amazing, so is the denim tote bag end product. I found it difficult to find part 2 however. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
Great project. I just made the bag from start to finish. It's my first bag ever, so it's not perfect but I am happy with the results . . . and that I finished a project I started. Thank you, and I look forward to more of your sewing tutorials.
Great to hear... just ckeck more projects on my channel.. there are over 20 different bag projects
yes music is disturbing I love the way you explain thanks Izzy!
This video tutorial is great!!! The music is much louder in part 2 but I could still follow. I made one today but made it a dog carrier and used a leather belt for the shoulder strap!!! Thank you
Thank you, the video is clear and does exactly what it says on the box, very impressed and I'm off to make my bag. No need to mention the music! but that is a minor problem ;) the rest is first class.
Thanks again.

CSA Pickers thank you... for the understanding...
I just loved your video. I appreciate that you are very good tutor too. Thanks alot.
Great Job !! I use to make hand bags like this in 70's Beautiful🤗
I loved the way you explained the step by step tutorial. I made my first denim bad following your video and the bag looks great. I have a person wanting to buy it but I have no idea how to price it. Would you please give me your opinion on the price if possible. Thank you, Andrea
Great bag. I am already planning one in my near future. I will be putting pockets in the liner before attaching to the bag.
I zzy, I thoroughly enjoyed this jeans bag video. Your directions are very clear. I loved your choice of the lining. It made the bag POP! I can't wait to make one.
The only negative is the music is too loud as stated by others. I would prefer no music because it distractsme.
Hi, this bag (paet 1 and 2) is exactly what I have been looking for. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. May I ask if I may use this pattern in making the bags to sell please? (not selling the pattern) thank you very much.
Your instructions are great and look easy,I love your patience, great job.can you please do it again without music, because I really want to make one. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge!!
Super detailled and well explained. Cheers! And the bag is very beautiful!
Everything is really well-explained and clearly shown. I'm so inspired to sew again!
Lovely job! I have done a lot of work upcycling jeans, but am glad that you taught me a couple new tips : )
Great project, but one suggestion; you are such a soft spoken person (voice) that the beautiful music is making it hard to hear you instructions.
Yes I know.... music was a big mistake... have learnt my lesson...

I love this bag, and am currently sewing one...I just need thread! Thank you so much, this was very helpful and fun!
Thank you sooo much for all of your tutorials...
I have been won'ting to make a handbag out of some of my old jeans.. Thanks for sharing your video... and i love the music it helps me to really get into the sewing...
You are kind... thank you
Hello thank you for your tutorials I have watched each of the ones on how to make the denim purse plus the straps it is very helpful indeed I plan on making it as a gift for a friend
Great video!! I quite liked the music, and I could still follow everything. Your camera work was so good. Thanks so much.
It's very nice and neat...iam definitely going to try this...but the music overrides your voice in between...but you did a wonderful job...keep up the good work❤my husband passed away on the 24/11/2022 and i didn't want to give his jeans away as they are practically new including his shirts...now i know what to do with the jeans...need to think of what to do with his shirts
I just saw the tutorial. Amazing!! I just subscribed. I will try to make this denim bag. I had planned to throw away some of my husband's old jeans. I won't now. Thank you so much!!
TheDeborah89 you are welcome... just keep in mind, that mens jeans are wider so will make a larger bag
Love how the bag turned out..really cute!
6862211 thank you
Love your video. The tip for adding depth was very useful. Thank you so much. x
thank you, great video. I saved a bunch of old jeans for project time with my nieces&nephews. In future videos, could you give some simpler alternatives to completing the items? i feel like the handles had a much higher difficulty level with a lot of machine sewing compared to the bag itself. The bag had a very low difficulty level, with very little sewing. The bags sewing could have easily been done by hand, with liquid sew, or on a compact/kids machine. The difficulty & time commitment really jumps up for the handles. I'm the kids& i will figure something out. It's just that otherwise your video was one of the few on youtube that was really step by step doable for kids with no sewing experience I would have loved to have followed it from start to finish. Thanks again. i subscribed & look forward to watching other videos. Auntie Lisa
Wow excellent tutorial....is it possible to add zip or magnetic clutch so that
it will b secured...
I absolutely love this! Thank you Izzy for sharing your talent and instructions! I plan to make one for my daughter!
Hey Nikki...I am glad you enjoyed it. :-) currently I am working on some jersey tops.... will share with my you tubers soon :-)
I love this idea better than the others I have seen made. Great idea for recycling an old shirt too. Do you have any job ideas about how to make the bag where you can close it? I thought maybe Velcro. My other idea has been maybe just a scarf to tie around it. Thanks for the great idea.
Wonderful tutorial. My husband goes through a lot of jeans with his job. I've recycled the legs in to dog toys and always wanted to use the cut-offs for a tote bag. I have a touch of arthritis in my hands, which makes sewing by hand painful. Do you think stitch witch (iron-on webbing) would work for the liner?
Thank you... I am happy to help other people get creative... :-)
You've designed and sewed a lovely bag. Thank you for sharing. :)
tip: use thread that matches the colored fabric that way it blends in and looks professionally done.
HRD 77 I'm sure she used the white to show on the video a more clear example as well as it looks great
sometimes it is nice to have a contrasting colour rather than have a matching colour, makes it look a little bit more cheerful
Love this...I want to make recycled bags to help animal rescues. I have a lot of upholstery fabric that I was going to use for projects but never did...now have a plan to re-purpose into bags...thanks for sharing. After seeing this, I think I might be able to add a lining successfully...a lot of helpful hints here.
Kathleen Fillo thank you for the comment... yes upholstery fabric is great for bags as they have a lot of strength...
Agree don't need backround music at all. I am going to make one this weekend. Thanks for the instructions.
it can be sticth by using hands only? because we dont have a machine
Oh my goodness. This is how I make jeans bags, except for sewing those two points on the lining and bag together. I learned something! I just bought three pairs of jeans for making bags from, so I'll try to remember these tips.
You are an inspiration ~ You explained everything perfectly. Thank you.
It´s great. I am for sure try to do a bag like that.
Some things i couldn´t hear properly because the music was beautiful, but too load.
But thank you so much. It´s a great idea :D
