one pair of jeans, repurposed

Mar 14, 2009 13:42




from ONE pair of jeans I made 2 large totes and (eventually) and apron.

smaller tote is 10" tall x 14" wide
larger tote is 12" tall x 17" wide
both have boxed bottoms so they will actually hold groceries or whatever.
On one end I put a back pocket that will hold a bottle of water or an umbrella or a soda, etc
the opposite end has one or two belt loops which can be used for keys or a bandana or charms
closure is a strip of the jeans knotted and another belt loop
the larger bag has a handle made from the waistband
(I still need to make a handle for the smaller tote)
both are totally lined with cotton fabric

there is actually a bottle of wine, a 64 oz juice bottle and a big box of oatmeal in the large tote
the small one has the water bottle in the side pocket and has about 7 boxes of organic mac and cheese inside
both have room for more stuff

In front is the apron mock up which will be made from the jean front with pockets

so
whaddyathink?

repurpose, sewing
