With a belt around it, this large bucket bag really looks like a pair of jeans. The length of the tied-handle is adjustable. The realistic print of the layered jeans is from the Ink Jet Series. It will be fun to make a matching tissue case and pouches.

We interviewed Yui about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
It has a unique design with a layered jeans motif, and the print is very realistic. While I thought that even a small item in this fabric will definitely stand out, I came up with a large bag so that the printed jeans design can be fully enjoyed.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
A regular belt is matched with a tubular bag, reminding you exactly of a pair of jeans. For the handle, what I had in mind was a tied denim shirt around your shoulder or hip. With ample room and an adjustable handle, this bag is quite convenient.
KF: What are some tips for making this bag?
When piecing together the round bottom, you may find it slightly difficult. The tip to finish it nicely is to use multiple sewing clips for holding fabrics together or basting beforehand.
KF: How should we incorporate this bag into one’s styling?
I used a belt from a dollar shop this time. You can replace it with the one you already have depending on your mood. You may also use a ribbon or a scarf for a different look. This bag can be a stylish accompaniment for a simple outfit.
KF: Thank you very much, Yui! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
