How to Make a Denim Tessa II Bag from Old Jeans!

How to Make a Denim Tessa II Bag from Old Jeans!
The Tessa II Bag is one pattern with many looks! This pattern can be a basic bag for the beginner, or a quick-sew bag for prepping for Markets, or for a real adventure, sew all 5 pocket options and all 5 strap options! Like many of my patterns, YOU are the designer!
Today I would like to show you how to make a Denim Tessa II Bag from Old Jeans!
We will start from the beginning with a pair of Old Jeans ... so dig some out of your closet!
All my sewing patterns are designed on my vintage or domestic sewing machines. All my Tessa II Bags were sewn on my Janome HD3000 and my Janome MC8200QCP SE.
