It never ceases to amaze me how popular denim is. Whether you are talking about jeans, jackets, recycling or upcycling, you can never read enough about this cultural style. This post is all about making wonderful change purses out of scraps of denim you may have or a pair of well-worn pants. These small projects will definitely be appreciated as gifts and because they're small are a good way to practise sewing skills. Whether you prefer a flex top, traditional metal frame or zipper, these are easy and quick to do. Scraps can easily be turned into patchwork pieces and pockets become whole purses or part of a purse. These are all charming so have fun making one or one of many. Read further for helpful step by step tutorials and videos on different styles of pocket purses. Be sure to also read further down for past posts featuring more creative ideas, tutorials and helpful videos on creating some very stylish bags and restyling a denim shirt.

One of the easiest ways to recycle denim is to make a bag.
Consider carefully the end product, how you wish the finished bag to look, whether you desire a very casual bohemian look or a more finished chic bag.
Patchwork, embellishment and destroyed surfaces appeal to a variety of tastes by giving the denim fabric a distinct surface to work with.
You can recreate the denim fabric by bleaching, painting, embellishing with rhinestones, embroidery, studding or any other type of treatment you see that inspires you. Read further for different ways to give your denim personality, whether you want to knit or crochet strips, weave strips or simply sew pieces together.
The denim allows you to create your own designer bag.
