Denim Bag Eco

 I had leftover dead stock denim from sewing Mr W's brown shopping bag. I don't like to hoard scraps, especially denim. It was chocolate brown, I used the reverse for the lighter shade. The lining was from a 2nd hand bundle, dark green to me is "school jumper" so again I used the reverse, now it looks camouflage.

 I ran out of clothes to recycle, and I wanted to make 2 bags simultaneously to save prep work time, so I used another deadstock denim for the grey, which I had in the attic.

I interfaced the straps, top, bottom, and top of lining pockets with light interfacing to prevent stretch. Topstitching and edge stitching in brown.
