Lunchbag upgrade

Pretty Denim Lunchbag (or how to turn a very simple project into a multi-day extravaganza)

step 1: refuse to repair DH's jeans in the same exact place for the 3rd time

step 2: stare intently at said jeans while wondering what good use to put the durable denim

step 3: smack head in realization that the leg of said jeans would make a perfect lunch sack

step 4: cut off about 20" of upper leg

step 5: again, stand back and stare at what is now a denim cylinder and realize it's just not gonna be pretty enough without some girly decoration

step 6: haul out all the embroidery apparatus and spend at least an hour poring over design options

step 7: finally select original idea of peacock design and sew onto a separate piece of denim cut from jeans

step 8: sew lovely peacock on front of leg as a pocket ("why a pocket" you might wonder, to which I would reply, "why not")

step 9: sew on a circular bottom (after racking brain to remember simple formula for calculating the diameter from the leg circumference.... C=Pi * ((D/2)^2)

step 10: sew in casing and add draw string

step 11: prance around house waving the pretty new bag in the air until husband gushes over the "mad skills" of wife

now, before you feel compelled to point out this was a pretty basic sewing job, I know this is no demonstration of mad skills, but what can I say, I'm an approval junkie
