Vintage Linen Meets Thrifted Jeans, An Easy Jean Bag, A Sewing Tutorial

[@nancyharris4703]

This is what we called a dresser scarf. Used to have them on top of chest of drawers and dressers in the 50’s/60’s.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Nancy, Thank you for the input. I remember now that my mom had these on her dresser and side tables. So pretty!

[@bobbiejoyce1402]

Love this. So will my granddaughters

[@carolosborn4435]

[@brendaseverns9704]

Oh my gosh!!! I KNEW you'd do something amazing with that vintage table runner half! I have the other half so I can do similar! 🤗 The shower curtain is a perfect accent!!! Now I know what to look for! 😁 Thanks Julia! Brenda 🌼

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I can't thank you enough for this beautiful piece Brenda. It took me a few weeks to decide how to use it. It was so fun to work with! Julia

Very cool!

[@pamketron]

Hi Julia - Such an awesome transformation of a pair of jeans!!! Wow oh Wow!!! Your bag is amazing. Love the fabric you used from the shower curtain. Everything looks so pretty. The linen table runner is beautiful. You always come up with the best things. I’m sure people enjoy watching you create things at your booth. Just about time to close down your summer shop. It’s bittersweet I’m sure. Just knowing that winter is headed your way soon makes it hard. I’m glad you get to go away from those horrible winters and find the sunshine. It’s still hot here and very humid. Can’t seem to get anything done outside this year. The humidity has been so muggy all summer long. It rained about every day in July so we kinda didn’t have summer. I’m hoping the sunshine will be here thru September. Enjoy your weekend. See ya next time! 💕🧵🎉 Happy Labor Day!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Pam, It's hard to believe the summer is over. Fall is in the air here. I'm playing catch-up now with house work etc. We hope to take a Fall trip somewhere now that I'm not tied to the Flea Market every weekend. Until next time :)

[@erose6996]

Love it.

[@flgirl250]

I have to make one of these

[@ceebgee2520]

Gorgeous vintage linen, just wish I could reach through the screen and grab it. I did something similar last year and learned a valuable lesson. Over time the stitched linen became frayed from rubbing against my body ( I had both sides of my bag decorated). In future I will use the linen on the outside of my bag only and remember to position it to avoid the rubbing. I unpicked those pieces and have replaced them with doilies which may also rub so I shall keep an eye on the fabric. Still, it is a great way to enhance a bag and I am lucky as I work in a Hospice Shop so have access to these beautiful old hand stitched treasures.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thanks so much for the comment. I didn’t think about the “wear and tear” on the stitches. Great tip.

[@candacekerr4139]

Love this!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thank you!

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

Hi Julia. Thanks for another great tutorial. Is this the last weekend for your booth for the season? I hope sales were good with all the crazy weather and travel plans gone up in smoke.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Phyllis, Summer went so fast and my little shop is closed until May. Fall is in the air. It changes so fast in MN.
