on my way

I've started a new project, something I haven't done in 30 (?) years.  I'm making a bag out of jeans.  I had found an old pair of jean shorts, size 7/8 (no, not my size, not near my size).  have taken out inside seam, resewn it, found a wonderful dragon batik panel in my stash for the flap, found another piece of fabric in my stash that I've cut apart, now appliquing circles on the bag.  Yep, elementary, but good for rediscovering old skills, and I feel good about it.  And the fabric has lots of purple, yum.
