DIY denim&lace clutch bag


hiya, so today im going to show you how i make a denim and lace clutchbag i got the idea off of one of my favorite blogs 'This Fashion Is Mine' (do go and cheack the blog out! these bags are super easy and great for whenever and they dont eat a whole in your purse which is always a plus, they also use up the fabric from bottoms of jeans when you make them into shorts. so lets get started!
 
What you need;
denim fabric.
pins.
needle and thread.
zip.
tape measure or ruler.
lace for the bottom. 
marker.

how to make;
1. mesure the zip and add one more inch for sewing then measure your denim from one seam (so you dont have to sew the bottom aswell) and mark.
  2. cut out your material.
3. pin and sew your zip onto the top of the bag.

 4. pin and sew up the sides of the bag, turn inside out and then your done.

 i felt the bag was a bit plain so i added some lace to the bottom.


if you do give this a go i would love to see how yours turned out so please tweet me a pic @smozzy14.

1. boots simply sensitive, day moisturizer SPF15- boots; £1.85. ive been on the hunt for a new moisturizer for ages as my old one still ok wasnt really working for me but i didnt want to pay a fortune, so thats the main reasion we went into boots. i found this one and ive tried it twice already and i like it. i might even do a review on it so watch this space.

2. boots botanics cleansing face wipes- boots; £1.68. while looking for moisturizers we came across the botanics range that ive heard some great reviews of so i picked up some face wipes ive also used these and im pretty pleased so another review?

3. natural collections nail polish in lunar haze- boots;£1.89. aslo after we found the others just like me my mum loves nail polish so we went for a snoop in that department and found this gorgeous colour which my mum chose and now i love it so well done mother!

4. mini hair clips- british heart foundation;99p. ive also been looking for some mini hair clips for a while to get my hair out of my face while down. these basic ones are perfect and for 99p you cant go wrong.

5. shorts- british heart foundation;£4.55. i saw these shorts and thought they would be great for summer and not a bad price so i snapped them up.

6. jumper- british heart foundation; £3.50. onto my favorite perchase of the day this gorgeouse greyish silvery jumper which is so thick and warm. although its spring its a great time to go charity shopping for winter clothing as people nomally donate there winter clotheing in spring.

good monings shopping i think.
