Instructor: Mary Beth
Location: Sew Jersey in East Hanover

Bring an old pair of jeans, some lining fabric and your imagination, and walk out with a fun and fashionable shoulder bag! Beginner sewists welcome.
What to Bring:
- Your Sewing Machine in Good Working Order
- An old pair of jeans, preferably washed! The bigger the size the bigger your finished bag but size doesn’t matter.
- Lining fabric - 3/4 yard give or take depending on the jeans size, preferably a non-directional print. While the bag in the photo has a patchwork lining that is not something you will have time to create from scratch during class so if you want to use up some scraps, do some pre-assembly so you are working with larger pieces.
- Thread - all purpose is fine, and you can either match the color of your jeans, or match the color of the topstitching (the model matched the topstitching).
- Sewing machine needles suitable for jeans - I used a 16, bring extras
- Pins or clips
- Sharp fabric scissors and seam ripper (you can bring a small mat and rotary cutter if desired)
- Optional but helpful: Hump Jumper
