My Favourite Jeans

My favourite jeans finally bit the dust last week and I had to force myself to buy a new pair. So what to do with the old pair. They definitely couldn't go to the op shop so they became a bag.


I teamed the denim with my favourite Aunty Cookie colour of the moment, green! I made the strap quite long but put a button on the bag and a few buttonholes along the strap so it can shorten. The photo above shows it at it's longest length.


Here it is at the shortest length. I'm not sure though if the button should be on the inside so when the strap is short it is tucked inside the bag (suggestions welcome on this).

I lined it with some Michael Miller fabric I picked up at the last Remnant Warehouse sale and used the back jeans pockets as well.

And just because they are being cute here is a photo of the kiddies
