Hi! I just finished making a jean skirt from a long pair of jeans, but now that I'm finished with the skirt itself, I'm not too sure on what
to do with the bottom of the pants. I used one bottom to help out with the skirt, so yeah my question is how do you make use of one jean bottom... Thanks, Gwyneth Hi Gwyneth! You didn't just have a baby named Apple, did you? Anyway - don't let that jean leg go to waste little Missy! You can make a keen pant leg purse out of it. I have the complete instructions in my Crafty Diva book, but I can give you the simple run down here. What you do is cut off the bottom half of the pant leg. Then cut out a rectangle-like notch from the front side at the top. The extended fabric on the back will flip over to become the flap of the front of the purse so you can close it. Because the pant leg is already sewn on both sides, you just need to close up the bottom and hem the raw edges around the top so they look nice and finished. Then add the strap of your liking and a clasp of some sort so your change won't go flying all over the place. Hope this was clear enough! - CC ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com

In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
