Recycled Jeans Bag

I love sewing over the Christmas holidays, unfortunately back to work tomorrow. So I was desperate to get some more sewing done! We cleaned out our clothes closet a few days ago and I came across a pair of my favorite (and expensive!) jeans that don't fit me anymore..... I refused to throw them out and had an idea to make a bag out of them!

I used both bum pockets to add a pocket to the front and a pocket on the inside of the bag. I also recycled the front fly zipper, I put this on the side of the bag to create a pocket on the side (fits my phone perfectly!). I also put many pockets and compartments on the inside of the bag. I re-used the waistband & belt loops and put this around the top of the bag. I even re-used the Label!!!

I won't be making many of these, as I have ran out of strong needles and was a bit too time consuming!!! ummm very frustrating, breaking needles.... However, I do have the front pockets and 1/2 a leg of fabric left, maybe a small bag.....

I was very proud of my finished bag! and I already have it packed to take to work tomorrow!! he he he

Happy holidays! Lee-Anne
