Boho Denim Bag, A Sewing Tutorial using the Embellishment Pack

[@FootFrenzied]

Julia, you make FMQ look much easier than it actually is!!! I’m in awe!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

It takes practice but is so worth the time! Free- motion stitching really opens doors to creative projects. Thanks so much for watching.

Hi Julia, I have been making bags out of my son's and husband's old jeans. I have been so inspired by your creativity, that I have been doing more upcycle projects. Thanks for sharing your marvelous creativity. Hope all is well with your family and your wonderful shop.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Janet, This project was actually a pair of my husband's jeans! I've been working more with thrifted items and have been really enjoying it. I used to purchase a ton of tees and sweatshirts from a suppliers but was unable to during Covid. Now all the warehouses are open but I'm not going back to that kind of sewing. I find so much more joy in thrifting and up-cycling! Have a great week, Julia

[@leelacherian8707]

Love all your projects. You make everything look so easy and doable .And yet attractive. Thank you.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Working this way is so calming. I love collages. What a great way to work with scraps, very nice.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Linda, I so agree! I love just working with what I have on my table. It really pushes creativity! Thanks so much for watching, Julia

Hi Julia, very cute bag. Thank you for being so creative.😘

[@turbo3478]

Always enjoy your videos. I get so much joy from sewing and have not had the time recently so it makes your videos that much more enjoyable. I believe you spent some time in Scottsdale last winter season. Next time you are out this way if have not already been you will need to make a run to a place called SAS. Let me know if you have been. I have been going there for 50 years. Its fabric and trim nirvana!!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, We were in Mesa for a couple of months this winter. The quilt club that I joined took a bus trip to SAS but I was not able to go- UGH! I hope we go back another year because I have heard so many good things about it. I'm going to start saving :)

[@marianrooth9514]

Thanks Julia. I love your videos. Almost makes me want to go into my scary room. I mean my craft room. Stay well. Love you

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Marian, You crack me up! Have a great week, Julia

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Love this video Julia. I haven't felt creative for several months and working from home takes up my play space but nothing get my creative juices going like a "Julia Video" . Stay safe and much love.

[@ziggiezag938]

I like this a LOT! I have a pair of my husband's jeans that he's worn to death. I put them in the waste fiber bag, but I think I'll pull them out and make one of these for myself, but, I'll just HAVE to take advantage of that fly zipper and put a pocket in there! Thanks for sharing.

How did you sew the embellishments on the front cover of the book with out it going allthe way through? Did you make the slip on book cover ?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I added the embellishments before sewing the lining onto the journals.

[@GypsyinAus]

Where did you find your free spirit stamp? I used to have an email account with that name! 😊

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, It is from Unity Stamp Company. It was in one of their monthly subscription kits. You should be able to search "free spirit" on their site. It may still be available. Thank you so much for watching. Julia
