Found new life as: A unique tote bag! I also made and gave it a tassel to match.

New in thee Shop: Upcycled Denim and Vintage Embroidered Poncho Bags
A lovely customer was kind enough to send me some interesting textiles to work with a little while ago. One of them was this vintage Guatemalan embroidered poncho. There were some light stains and holes throughout the bottom un-embroidered portion but the rest was fine.
I love the bright colors throughout and the material is thick just perfect for bags.
For these bags (minus one tote that got a matching leather tassel) I was able to finally make some denim tassels. Very glad I did because they matched so well and added a nice final detail. You make denim tassels too, it's pretty easy. Check out this tutorial by Pillar Box Blue
This is my entry to the 2019 Etsy Design Awards so it's not available for purchase just yet but it can still be found in thee shop with the others.

New in thee shop: Upcycled Denim and Leather Patchwork Bags
These two bags were made with remnants of denim and leather. The tote bag has a magnetic snap to keep it closed and the crossbody bag is zippered with dual zipper pulls. Both have pockets inside and out.
The tote patchwork is an abstract piece while the crossbody is a Seminole inspired patchwork. I had accumulated a lot of smaller pieces of denim and other materials so making these patchworks has been a great way to use them all up. Also quite the creative exercise with the tinier pieces like making a puzzle but without instructions.
You can find the bags in my shop.

New in thee shop: Upcycled Denim Patchwork Crossbody Bag

This bag has pockets inside and out, including a zippered pocket on the outer back and button flap pocket (from some cargo shorts) inside. There is a magnetic snap to keep the bag shut. The patchwork is as you can see a mix of Earthy tones with the usual denim blues.
