Jane Spolar used her Horizon Memory Craft 15000 to create this wonderful embroidered bag made with denim. This little bag is a quick project and when completed will accessorize your casual summer wardrobe.
The front pocket features an embroidery design that Jane created and then digitized with Creative DRAWings®, part of the Artistic Suite Version 7.
You too can create this beautiful summer bag using recycled jeans.
