I love recycling things... And if that makes old stuff look like something new and different it should be good not just for the environment but also for the wardrobe! ;)
Last week my ol' pair of jeans were reincarnated into..... a trendy handbag!
For a video tutorial check here.
Cut the pair of jeans and stitch as shown in the video. I then used a belt from an old shirt and tied it to a loop to look like a bow. Using fabric paints I then painted a red and yellow flower on one of the pockets. In my sewing kit I had a few colourful cloth flowers which I hand-stitched on the rim of another pocket.
If you like you could use velcro, a zip or buttons to close your bag.
