**********************************************************************
What you can do if you'd like, is purchase a blue jean skirt from a thrift store or you may have one of your own. I will purchase one from a thrift store, cause if I used one of my own, it would look like a large thrash can tote...hehehe...So I will find one that is smaller than what i wear. Then you will decorate the top of the skirt as you would like, ribbons, flowers, felt, or bandanas after you sew up the bottom to make a tote. you will need to put a handle or two on the tote. You do not have to line the tote unless you would like to. Just have fun. This will be a good long time to complete this swap so Sign up ends April 2nd and Send out day will be April 28th. Make your skirt tote, the size of a tote, not huge but big enough, You girls will know!! Come on in and join, you farmgirl sewers... Have fun and happy crafting!! Smiles
1 tote for 1 partner Sign up ends April 2 Mail out by April 28th

Hi Beth,
Could we use the top of a pair of jeans instead of a skirt? I have a 4 foot pile of jeans waiting to made into other things. Hoping to make the legs into a rug or maybe a quilt.

Hi Beth,
Great! Count me in. The top of a pair of jeans makes a great tote bag.

OK, I know this is a longer-term swap and I don't even know who my partner is yet, but I am just busting out of my britches to tell you that I went thrifting this morning and not only found a cute jeans skirt to make this tote from, but I also found a skirt made of the cutest polyester lining fabric (curious what fashion stores will sell to young girls!) that is just so much more inspiring. I can't wait! This is going to be fabulous!

Ok. Sign me up. Scares me to death because I have never made a blue jeans tote. I have already assembled all the supplies. So here goes! Splash splash. I'm jumping in.

Splash on in, Patsy!!! you'll do fine!! And Brenda, I got my skirt last week at a thrift store and already have ideas in mind!! Part of the fun for me is picturing it in my head and seeing it come to life!! There is a good bit of time for this swap but where I live there are not that many thrift stores or places to find great things, so I have to go into a bigger city...With families and all I hope all will feel like they have time and not rushed. :) We'' just have fun and Happy Crafting!!!!!
