Besides the denim, which can easily be taken from an old pair of pants, you will also need Kraft-Tex Fabric. Kraft-Tex is a fiber-based textured paper that combines the best of leather and fabric. Kraft-Tex is a paper that looks, feels, and wears like leather, but sews, cuts, and washes just like fabric. Sew it, stamp it, draw on it, fold it, inkjet print it. Durable enough to be used for totes, belts, wallets, book covers, luggage tags, and more. Kraft-Tex softens and crinkles with handling and washing. Shop the entire selection of Kraft-Tex here. (Did you know it comes in other colors, as well? It sure does!)
Besides the denim and the Kraft-Tex, you will also need some heavyweight interfacing. There’s a link to that below. This denim tote bag is so cute and you are sure to get lots of compliments on it. There’s nothing better than saying, “Thanks! I made it myself!”
This denim tote bag pattern is super fun to make and you’re sure to get lots of compliments on your new bag!
