I've been spending more time crafting items from denim.  The photo above shows samples of my latest creation, denim pouches crafted from tie-dyed denim.  I use a bleach solution to discharge the blue dye specific to denim.  Once the fabric is tie-dyed, I cut the pattern and embellish it before assembling the final piece.  These pouches have magnetic or button closures and straps crafted from vintage, hand-woven belts or corded straps fashioned from bias tape and cotton cording.
