Sew the Bottom of the Bag

Make a Booty Bag out of a Pair of Jeans

Sew up the bottom of the bag.

Now that you have just the booty of the jeans left, you’ll need to sew up the bottom to make a purse shape. Break out the needle and thread or sewing machine. Start sewing with medium sized stitches (about 1/8” long) all the way across.

If you are using a sewing machine, be careful of sewing through the seams. Thick seams can break your needle, so go slow or hand-crank these parts. Be sure to use a thick needle that is intended for use on denim to avoid breaks.

Tie off the threads to prevent your new seam from unraveling.

Now you are all set to make a handle.
