How To Make a Denim Boho Bag with Thrifted Jeans and Belts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- In this DIY video, we will be creating a beautiful crossbody jean purse, with suede fringe, suede whip stitching, patches, belt strap, pocket, a little vintage lace and more. Everything is thrifted, which makes it affordable, one-of-a-kind, and earth friendly. I do my very best to take you step by step, with easy to understand directions, so that even a beginner sewist can achieve this look with confidence and clear understanding. If you love thrifting, like I do, the hunt for these treasures is just as fun as making the bag.
This is a wonderful and comfy everyday bag, a great way to add a little spice to your wardrobe. This bag, with its boho hippie vibe is also a fabulous gift idea. Maybe you create to sell, like I did for many many years, denim bags are sought after and great sellers!
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing that you have tendinitis issues. I am 72yo retired Registered nurse, recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I so loved sewing. I grew up in domestic violence with all its profound, long term effects. I eventually found sewing to be the best therapy for me. I was unable to sew around time of RA diagnosis. Your videos have been a great motivation to start back sewing. I avoid big projects, sewing for public. It motivates me to adjust to RA by taking better care of myself, listening to body for when to rest, using alternative medicines to fight RA ie herbs, heat pad, exercises, massage therapy and topical herbal ointments. In other words, I control it so it doesn't control me. Besides sewing is a great exercise for my hands!.
Thank you for sharing that. So many people have similar issues, and your message is encouraging and supportive! 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Lymphatic Drainage is great to help control swelling. I am a Massage Therapist that enjoys this as a side hobby and if someone buys it even better! Hugs and cheers to our fun times!
For the fringe, you don't have to cut individual fringes. You can cut almost to the end and stop short about 1\2 inch and that will keep the fringe lined up. Then stick the uncut part into the seam before you sew it up.
Love this bag. I just made the flannel shirt with the cute doll on the back. I wore it and got so many complements. I also decorated a pair of jeans with flowers cut from fabrics. I love them! I am trying to get ready to move and making lots of ornaments etc . For a Christmas bazaar next month, it's really been hectic but I decided no matter what I am going to make 1 something just for me each week from your tutorials. Thank you so much Traci. Absolutely love all your wonderful creations. Btw, I'm 73 and I'm not too old for these types of clothing as some might think 😂😁💖🫶
Aww love it! You sound so busy and I'm glad you are making things for yourself!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
We are Never too old to wear what ever we want!
I absolutely love everything about this boho/hippy bag. 💯
You make it seem so easy. If I wasn't paralyzed with anxiety, I would s try this. I love watching you do it!
Awww please don't be afraid to create what excites you. What is the worse that can happen, it's only fabric. The whole project can seem overwhelming, but break it down into little steps. My mom always said, "by the inch it's a cinch, by the yard it's hard" lol🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
Use scraps, sheets, pillow cases, towels...thrift finds. Just sew...there are no mistakes, you'll be learning along the way. That's the reward. You'll grow with each stich you sew! 😉
@nellebelle30 very well said, my friend.🤗💖💖
I literally can’t get enough of this channel! I’ve learned so much!
Awwww thank you so much🤗❤❤❤❤
You are Sooo Talented!! I look forward to all your new creations! You’ve inspired me to buy a used machine and sew again after 18 years!! I’ve made a few of your clever purses for friends, family and myself! I’ve added a sewing room to my house and am enjoying myself every night thanks to YOU!!🎉
Omgosh I love that sooooo much! Thank you so much for reaching out, messages like yours inspire ME!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Hola tracy, gracias por este tutorial, con tu enseñanza hice mi primer bolsa tenia miedo nunca habia hecho algo asi y mucho menos cortar ropa pero quedaron hermosas mis bolsas, gracias mil gracias saludos desde Minnesota.
Aww I'm so happy for you! Thank you so much for reaching out 🤗💕💕💕💕
Such detailed instructions that can be used for any bag construction! Thank you Tracy. I hope as we are watching this you have recovered well from your hand surgery and are enjoying your grandchildren.
I appreciate that so much! I'm healing well, hopping in the rv today, to head south.. wooohooo!!🤗💞💞💞

Awww I appreciate that so so much! Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you, Traci. Bag is gorgeous 😍! I can't even begin to tell you how much you've influenced me with your videos. I mention you almost daily when my friends ask me what I'm creating right now. You have me sitting at my sewing machine every single night. I love every second of it.
Again, thank you 🙏💖
Me too! It is such an obsession. :-)
Omgosh, I love that so much!!! Thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
I agree!🤗💕💕💕💕
Girl you are amazing
😍😘💕💕💕💕💕
I love working with denim. I’ve made farmgirl style denim aprons, denim placemats and denim wine gift bags, and crossbody bags like this. I love your idea of fringes , belt strap, and patches. 😍💕💕💕
Love denim, too!!!🤗💞💞💞
Trop mignon. J'adore !!!!! Félicitations tracy ! Gros bisous ysa
Thank you so much! Kisses back!😘💕💗💕💗💕💗💕
YES yes yes Tracy. Im making this so I can wear it to make change at pop up sales. Thanku! Lavoie Boho NC USA 2023
Perfect!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
I always ♥️ watching your tutorials. You're VERY detailed at giving instructions!!
Such an adorable bag
TIP: I found a shower suction handle and attached it to my long ruler for ease of moving it. It works like a charm.
Love the tip! Thank you!🤗💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing your talents. When I feel sad or just down, I look on UA-cam hoping you have a video and changes my day around. Blessings
Awwww thank u so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
This was exactly the video I needed today. I have been struggling on how to decorate a denim bag I am making, thank you. I also enjoy the little comments you add, they quite often give me a chuckle. Nice when we can laugh at ourselves, then others laugh with us, not at us. ❤
Thank you so much! Have fun making your bag!🤗💕💕💕
I love how easy you make it look ! I have osteoarthritis in my hands and had surgery on my left thumb, so I am sewing with one hand at the moment! 😂 Gotta keep on keeping on ❤😊
One hand, that's dedication, or just pure love of the craft!!!! I get it!🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
Your so talented at making so many beautiful things. I love the hand bag with fringe.
Thank you so much!🤗❤❤❤❤
Love it, maybe I’ll try black.
Have fun! Black would be amazing!🤗💞💞💞💞
Another great tutorial. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these.
My pleasure, thank YOU 🤗💕💕💕💕
my daughter just chopped off a bunch of jeans into shorts, so I'm going to try and make one of these fun bags!
Omgosh, I absolutely love this!! My husband just ripped a pair of his jeans and I came on UA-cam for inspiration to upcycle them… I wasn’t expecting to find something this fabulous!! Thank you so much!! Now off to the thrift store for belts and embroidered jeans!! ❤
Aww yayy!! Have fun!🤗💞💞💞💞
Stunning 🥰 👌 🌟 🤗 ❤️
🤗💞💞💞💞
Very pretty and fun 🥰
Thank you so much 🤗❤❤❤❤
I’am so in love with your creations and style. I often watch you videos where you create these beautiful bags and tell myself that I’m going to try my hand at it but I know mine will look nothing like yours. I do not own a sewing machine and so I would have to do it all by hand,not sure if I could do that. Anyway, thank you for your time and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us. Have a great day.
Thank you so much 🤗💗💗💗
This is amazing as usual! Just today I was planning out some boho bags,using your earlier videos, to give to two of my sisters. My third sister is not really into that style, so I thought of denim and here you are!Thank you again for great tutorials shared with kindness ❤
Awww love that you are making these for gifts!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
I just added this to my "project" list!!! Cleaned out the drawers and tagged the jeans for this bag!! Also found a white deer hide piece (Score!) at a rummage sale! Thank you so much for this idea!!! You're the best!
Aww love that!!!🤗💕💕💕💕
You know, I'm sooo glad I came across your channel, Tracy.
Growing up in the 70's, I wore cuffs and fringes, and eventually grew tired of them.
But you made me appreciate another side of the boho style because of the feminine softness you bring to it.
I've been wearing fringes again because of you...and think of you whenever I come across them either in the store or on someone else.
Please keep it up...I love your stuff!!
PS: you also make me want to take up sewing! 💖🇨🇦💖
🤗💕💕💕💕💕
love love this bag denim is so comfy anyway
🤗💕💕💕
Nice going to try this
Omg staci, thats beautiful !!! Awsome job.
Thank you so much!🤗💕💕💕💕
Love the belt/s used as a strap rather than fabric. Makes it so unique.
🤗💕💕💕💕
Fantastic !!! What an inspiration !!!! Thank you sooooo very much 🙏❤️🎉🌺💐
My pleasure 😘💕💕💕💕
Awesome creative patch work 🥰👍
Thank you 🤗💖💖💖💖
Love it!
I have used belts for purse straps before, but I never thought of using 2 different belts together! This is so unique and helpful as sometimes you can’t find a single belt that is long enough so a strap. Thank you!
My pleasure!!🤗💞💞💞💞
Can't wait to try this. Thank you so much.
My pleasure 🤗💕💕💕💕
Really cute! Your method for making the fringe is a great idea! Thanks!
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
It's very nice. Plus, it looks like something from the late 1960's and early 1970's. Thank you for this lesson. 😀❤❤❤
My pleasure!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
This is so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing all of your great ideas. Could you please show us how to make a cute vest sometime that would be nice over a dress? Thanks 😮
🤗💞💞💞💞
Your videos are my favorite go-to for inspiration. Do you deconstruct the remaining garment or leave whatever is intact? How do you manage your inventory of fabric?
Sometimes I deconstruct the remaining sometimes I don't. I have a room full of shelving and I just keep "like" items together, some in baskets or tubs.🤗💞💞💞
I love this ! You have given me so many ideas I can't wait to put my mind to work! Thank you so much❤
Awww yay! Have fun 🤗❤❤❤❤❤
Your creations are fabulous! You are my inspiration ❤
Awww thank you so so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
Fabulous! Love it..😊
Thank you so much 🤗💞💞💞💞
Another project I will definitely do…watching your videos have encouraged me into sewing so much…love you
Awww love that🤗💕💕💕💕

I enjoyed this tutorial so much! I love your talent !
Thank you so much!!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
I cannot tell you how much you have inspired me. I have started making purses and I love it. Your videos are so well done. Your information and delivery is awesome! Keep on keeping on girl! I love it when you post a new purse. Thank you sooooooo much!
Thank you so so much!🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you soooo much, Tracy! I followed your video and made this bag, im absolutely in love! I truly appreciate you, you inspired me to get creative again.
Im going to make another one of these bags, but i want to add a inner lining... wondering how to add it.. im not sure, as i am still new to sewing.
When should i add the lining, before or after which step? Please, and thank you.🙏 ❤
Most of my other purse videos have lining, they are all basically the same procedure. I'm sure one of this will answer your questions.🤗❤❤❤❤❤
Love it thank you
My pleasure!😘💕💕💕💕
Love your projects! Can’t wait to get home so that I can start sewing!!❤
🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you!
🤗💞💞💞💞💞
Super cute 🥰
I just love the bag tutorials you’ve taught me so much Traci and happy to say I’ve sold every bag 💼 I’ve made thanks to you xx❤
Omgosh congrats! I love that!🤗💞💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 💕🥰 xx
Just so adorable
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
L❤VE it!!!!!!
🤗❤❤❤❤
Love it !💕💕💕
And to use a belt where you can adjust it (Genius!)
💕🦋💕🦋
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Love, Love, Love the bag!!! I am so enjoying your tutorials. You are such a great inspiration. Can you do a tutorial on how to start selling?
Thank you so much! I've often thought about doing a video on selling, but I've been out of the selling loop and feel my info would be very basic.🤗💕💕💕💕
Tracy, in all your projects, I expect something really Cool, but you continually go above and beyond my expectations. I appreciate the time and care you put into sharing your practical knowledge and experience with us. Your creativity and a bit of imagination, encourages others to give it a try themselves. : ) Enjoyed!
Awww I appreciate that so so much, thank you 🤗💕💕💕💕
Love your stuff! Your fringe process is so tedious though! Its easier and faster to cut the fringe all in one sheet by not cutting all the way through at the end. To each their own.
Thankyou Traci, hope yr doing well with the surgery & all.
This video was brilliant, i had just bought a whole load of jeans from my thrift store all different size jeans for 10 cents each they were going to throw them out because they weren't selling, what a bargain 😊
Wow! Great find!!!🤗💞💞💞💞
@@tmyershandmade978 how are you feeling with your wrists I've done a few healings for you 😊
Absolutely stunning
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
love it so much! great tutorial as always! I think I'm ready to try a bag like this...thanks so much for doing these wonderful tutorials Traci💕
My pleasure, thank YOU so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
I hope your hand is doing well. I know you were having surgery and I'm not sure when. Thank you for giving us thing to see whike you are in recovery..❤
Thank you so much! My hand is healing, kind bruised and stolen, get stitches out today. So sweet of you🤗💕💕💕💕
Sooooo good. I think I can make that. Hope your recovery is going well.
Thank you so much! Recovery is going well, I get stitches out today🤗💕💕💕💕
I love this bag so much. I will have a go at making my version 😀 ... thank you ❤
Aww yayyy, have fun!🤗💕💕💕💕
I Love watching your videos.❤❤❤ you are so talented.
Thank you so much!🤗💕💕💕💕
just found you, and wow! not only gorgeous creations, but you are such an excellent and thorough teacher!....I have't read your bio yet but I wouldn't be surprised if you were a teacher in your pre-UA-cam life! Lol!
Awww I appreciate that so much! I wasn't a teacher, but always dreamed of teaching on those diy/home network channels lol! 🤗❤❤❤❤
Love it
🤗💞💗💓💕💖
Another great video!! Thank you!😊
Thank you so so much 🤗💕💕💕💕💕

Absolutely love it! ❤❤
Thank you so much!🤗💕💕💕💕
Happy Thursday day I love your work
Thank you so so much!😘💕💕💕💕
Those belts were perfect with the the beaded jeans piece. What brand of jeans were those?
Another fabulous creation! Hope your healing and enjoying making forts with your grands!
Thank you so much! I'm not sure the brand, I will have to to go rummage through my jean scraps to find out🤗💕💕💕
This is so cute , I love it
Thank you so much 🤗💕💕💕💕
I❤ it .
🤗💕💕💕💕
That is a very nice purse!
🤗💕💕💕💕
Another one beautiful work 🤩🥰💖
Thank you so much 🤗💖💖💖💖💖
What about braiding the thick seams you cut out of the jeans to make a purse strap. Also use the same seams to make fringe.
Seams might be tricky to sew🤗💕💕💕
Красота! ❤👍
Thank you 🤗💞💞💞
أفكارك رائعه ومدهشة شكراً جزيلاً لك 👍👍💞💞💞

Super cute I love it❤❤
Thank you!🤗💕💕💕
Very nice ❤
Thank you 🤗💞💞💞💞
Hola , las tiras en gamuza se pueden reemplazar por tiras de jeans . Además la tela natural cuántos centímetros tiene ? .Tus ideas son geniales .
So, so cute!! Could be a beautiful gift bag with a new wallet and or some $$ inside. I've been meaning to ask you, that script on your sewing machine table, did you make that? Does it say anything in particular. It's so pretty as opposed to my boring stark white table. 😉 Blessings until the project. 😊
Hi there! I actually have a video about what the table says, here is the link ua-cam.com/video/F1UC2VDg2pk/v-deo.html
