Tonight we started our second sewing project... jean purses. Each girl had to bring a pair of jeans for this one! We started by having each girl cut the legs off her jeans. With the help of our volunteers (Abbie's grandma and Sam's grandma!) each girl got a seam sewn across the jeans where the legs were cut off. Next, each girl had to take one of the cut off legs and cut it in half, fold it in half lengthwise,then our wonderful volunteers sewed these pieces. The rest of the work was for the girls. They had to turn their "legs" right side out because now it was about to become the handle of their purse. Once they did this, they had to hand stitch their handle to their purse!! Many of the girls are still working on this! Once they have the handle sewn on, the bags are ready to be decorated with the many patches and decorations we have provided! Some girls got done with the whole project in this meeting, but some girls still need to decorate their purses. Some pictures are posted below:
