[@margaretWestminster]

I had kept you on my list and today your video from 7 years ago came up. I miss your wonderful lessons. All the best to you 💖

[@mkasayianmunene3750]

This is the best lesson learned this year. what a way to end 2015. now all my old jeans here I come. thank you.

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

I have piled some more jeans for 2016 :-)

[@esthersantiago6793]

I’m soooo Happy I found this video!!!…. I had a Black Denim Bag for many years…..The Straps were made from the double seam……Straps broke… got rid of the bag…. Now I want to make my own now that I seen this video…. It will be my Second project on a sewing machine! (First was an Apron) once again thanks for your video!

[@memecottrill]

I don't care that it is long you took the time to explain and show and that is what I need. Thank you.

[@carbmg]

The best tutorial I ever seen to make a handbag upcycling a pair of jeans!

[@patriciamartin2047]

I watched your video this morning while having coffee! Scoured my closet for a pair of jeans I wasn't wearing and voila a couple hours later a blue jean bag! Incredible tutorial! Thank you!

[@nannymac47]

The man's shirt was a size XXL so I have plenty of fabric... much more than I need. It won't go to waste. I quilt. I am going to send the purse into work with my daughter, she's a nurse, and take orders. I am a 66 year old mother of three and grandmother to eight. Your ideas will save me lots of money and ensure that I am giving a very up-to-date gift. Best greetings from my heart, Maureen Spotsylvania VA USA

[@nannymac47]

I'll have mine finished tonight. I incorporated a pocket into the lining and am putting more pockets and loops on the outside of the lining before installing it in the purse. Also, I put a tab on the pocket on the inside so that it would be incorporated in the bottom seam of the pocket and will hold the pocket in the proper shape on the outside. I hate it when the pockets pooch out. I found a pair of jeans and a lovely man's shirt, both like new.

[@flamaykoriana2469]

Your videos are so well made that even my sister, who doesn't understand english, was able to follow the instructions. Thank you!

[@zezas.5094]

I just wanted to say thank you for your tutorial on making your jean purse(s) - I watched both videos because I like a zipper closure. I do have a suggestion about where to sew the linking on this bag, since it does not have a zipper just fold the lining to just under the waist band that way you won't have to worry about sewing through any labels and it will be easier because you won't have the bulk from the waist band to worry with! Just a thought I wanted to pass along! Thanks again! Zeza

[@beckykent435]

going to do these for my kids as they get given jeans all the time but neither like wearing them and my 4 year old gets upset if we give them away. so its perfect for a kid that hates waste! thanks x

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Hi Mywinniethepooh1 I use size 16 which is the normal needle, but you can use sz 14 if you are worried that your machine wont handle the thickness of the denim. It also depends on the thickness of the denim you use, because the jeans we get these days are light weight and have lycra in them.. they are easy to sew. Thank you

[@libbyreesbarresi7459]

and i am back. left comment on part 2....Just wanted to let you know that after watching your video about an hour ago, i am now the proud owner of a tote bag, i have not lined it yet, but that i think i will leave that for another day...thank you for the video easy to follow, my only glitch was stitching the contrast material over the button hole. Thank you for doing this and uploading the video :-)

[@tonyaelmore6991]

I love the way you teach on how to make purses and bag detail. THANK YOU!

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Thank you

[@sassysandy1000]

Made one years ago & lots of comments. Didn't do the bottom like you & made the handles & had to turn them inside out. Your handles are so cool! makes me want to sew again. Hate putting a good purse in a nasty shopping buggy just for groceries. Where's the next video showing how you sewed the handles in?

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

hey Nikki... thank you that was sweet of you... sending you a hug back from England... its cold and grey today but the sun will shine soon... God bless you too :-)

I'm using your video to make a bag, but using bib overalls. Will let you know how it comes out. Thank you for this video. I've been saving it for about 6 months and just now finding time to do this project.

[@AudreeTucker]

I don't think I've ever heard the word "crotch" used so many times in a sewing video. ;-) What a wonderful and creative idea! Thank you SO much for taking the time to share this with us. I can't wait to get started on my own bag! I love it!

[@urmymom1]

Thank you this is the best tutorial yet on this. Now I will pull out the jeans I saved and try it. I am hoping the lining has a pocket this is the only tutorial that I have not found yet that is easy to understand. Going to check out your channel. Thanks again

[@isabellem7927]

And wanted to add that I used teenager (small size) jeans to make my bag and it worked really well for a first time as they are a bit more square and hold into place much better than adult (big size) jeans. Thanks again!

[@DANEE1012]

while I do agree that the music is loud i was able to make it perfectly with some adjuments to the straps. Made 2 mistakes but not a huge deal. Your tutorial was very easy for me and only took a few hours to make. I love how it came out and love how it is very cheap to make. Thanks for the tutorial giving the purse to a friend who us very crafty like me:)

[@karenslaton1300]

My daughter and I are going to try this! Great video! Loved how you showed and explained each step!

[@HearThisDestinyChanger]

[@ottawa4455]

Wow great video I have a assignment due in like 4 days and I have to make a bag this was perfect

[@ThePamster]

I made mine this weekend, and wanted to thank you for taking the time to create this incredible two part tutorial Izzy! Thank you! I did a couple thing differently, I have a lined flap closure and a shoulder strap. I got so much out of these two videos, thank you for inspiring me!

[@m.a.poblete3045]

thank you for the tutorial. i just made a bag with an old pair of jeans, this afternoon, after viewing your video. i braided strips of denim for the handles.

You were so explanatory!!!!!!! Thank you I’ve learned and understood from start to finish!!!!!

[@MoldyReed]

I made a bag out of a super cute pair of jeans in a sewing class a few years ago and I love it so much! I'm gonna watch this to learn how to make them again! 🥰

[@analuisaplasencia]

¡¡¡¡ Me encanto tu trabajo a pesar que no entiendo el idioma pero eres muy didáctica en la forma que enseñas el paso a paso, besos y gracias por compartir ¡¡¡

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Hi Colynne, you need to use Size-16 needle for denim.. having said that I use Size 14 so both will work. To protect your sewing machine you need to use Size 16.. Hope this helps.. thank you

[@1964196494]

very good job.Well done and the explanation was also very clear. thank you for sharing it with us. A hug from Brazil.

[@claricebridges2436]

I was able to watch both volumes. I would rate both volumes as an excellent execution. You demonstrated very well so a beginner would be able to understand. Just so you are aware the second volume background music was so loud I could not hear but your close up of hemming the lining I could see what to do. Thank you. Do you have a tutorial of making a jacket from old jeans?

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

hey Maureen... great idea of the tab holding the lining in. I remember they did this in mass production jackets at under arm...thanks for reminding... great jon

[@taraakolkar9753]

you have shown how to make best out of waist. its really wonderful.

[@alejandravallejo3096]

You are the best teacher!!! Thank you very much for sharing your video.

[@Islandlegacy]

You are so creative! I love the bag design. I am going to try it and take a picture so that you can see it. Thank you.

[@lornagaudino7011]

[@btsandgfriendnavishipbangc347]

[@chandrimalala5173]

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Hi Maureen, thank you for telling me all the details :-) you must be so busy with grandkids... I am planning more projects mainly aimed as Christmas gifts that people can make from old jeans.. so keep a watch. send me some pics of your projects.. Thank you

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

hi nannymac47 .. I use a 14 normally but ideally you need to use a 16 needle for jeans. its great when you get excited about a project....you cant wait to get it going... I know that feeling very well :-)

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Hi Yaz.. thank you very much. I am planning more jean projects before Christmas... so many gift ideas coming your way... :-)

[@michelzenitud5524]

Magnifique idée 👍 Super travail 👍 Très propre 👍 Merci pour la vidéo 👍 Michel 04 France ✌

[@dianagilbert917]

I just watched your videos last night and today I decided to make my own jean purse. It came out GREAT! Thanks for your video and step by step instructions. It was very easy. The bag is in the washing machine as we speak. Let's hope it turns out fine after the washer and dryer. I have my fingers crossed. :)

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Diana Gilbert I am sure it did... send me a pic. please, email me via my website thanks

[@ashleysovilla2037]

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

HI Isabelle. Thank you, yes I agree the smaller the jeans the cuter the bag comes out. Send me a picture if you get time :-)..... Also I have made a new version of this bag, by adding a zip to close the top of the bag have a look >> in the description box Thanks.

[@lorettahirsch131]

Izzy - Thank you for the fabulous tutorial - EXACTLY what I need - great details - appreciate YOU putting yourself out there and sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@ravilaa]

Great effort! Thank you for the detailed explanation. Some of it was lost in the background music though:). I look forward to the next installment. I am basically a crocheter, though I do tailor now and then. You have motivated me to go back to the machine. I am glad I can reuse the jeans my sons throw away!!! I hope your DIY tutorial list includes rugs from recycled material.

[@colynneful]

Hello. I have a question. What size of needle do I have to use? I understand there is a special needle for denim fabrics. Thank you.

[@sueanderson4965]

Thanks Issy love the handles. The music wSnt as bad as the detractors said! Thanks heaps.

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

What size sewing machine needle do you use to sew on these bags and garments? Just got my jeans and a beautiful shirt yesterday. I have washed them, ironed and starched the pieces from the shirt and and played around with placement ideas from all the pre-sewn cut off bits. I am soooo excited.

What type of ruler was used when the measuring to create depth in the purse was done?

[@parslyjoanamahit9428]

Hi, I just watch your video denim bag. It's really great and to follow on you. Thanks for your demo....

[@IzzyMEIMsaab]

Hi Chandana.. thank you for the comment. Just use a normal hand stitch, or even chain stitch if you know how to do it by hand... instead of a straight stitch on the sewing machine... you can get equally good results... here is a link to basic stitches you can use... hope its useful? :-) TYPE "Otis Fashion Junior Studio: Basic Hand Stitching" INTO KZbin AND THIS VIDEO COMES UP FROM OTIS COLLEGE... KZbin DOES NOT ALLOW TO PUT LINKS HERE...

[@kaetattersall2669]

really love this thank you for sharing...hoping to make some bags for charity

[@cherylclement1461]

What a beautifully illustrated video but where do I find part 2 please ❤

[@bessdavies6440]

I have a question: what type of needle should I install on the machine? (I'm from the UK too, so which UK size needle) ? Also: can I use a pair of jeans even if they are slightly stretchy? Because those are the thinnest ones and I don't really wanna start with a thick non-stretch pair as I'm a beginner

[@DANEE1012]

+BessDavies Hi i dont know the answer to your first question, but for the 2nd one I can answer my best. I used Old Navy skinny jeans that were old and too short to wear there were no problems with them and the purse came out beutifukky I am a beginner as well, but found this very easy to make even with the loud music. My sowing machine s=is the SINGER Curvy Model 8763 and had no problems. I think that the pants u use would be fine because they are not very thick. :) Hope I helped...

[@bessdavies6440]

Thank you so much for your help! Did you have to change the needle? My mum told me that I should put a big sturdy needle, but I live abroad and she cannot show me in person (but she gives great advice over the phone!) What about the lining? In the 2nd part she hand stiches it, but wouldn't it be better to be machine stiched?

[@DANEE1012]

+BessDavies No I did not have to I have always used the same needle, and the big sturdy ones would be for bulkier cloth. As for the 2nd part of lining. Instead of hand stitched it I hot glued it with the glue gun;) You could try machine sowing and it might work but I never did. I was too impatient to do hand stitched and the hot glue works great it might not be for as long but it was my first time so wanted to see how it would look.

[@5starscouple]

You've done such an amazing work. i really liked it and i undertsood everything and every step you did and the whole work seems so easy! i have some old jeans shorts! I think i can make super bags :D Thank you! good luck
