Sew a practical accessory from cut-up jeans
A little more on refashioning old jeans... If you have jeans in your wardrobe that you no longer wear, you can make a roomy and very practical bag from them. You can decorate such a bag with any elements you like!
Cut the jeans along the side seams and cut two identical panels from the legs, which will be the bag's sides. Use the remaining denim to cut the bag's bottom.
Cut matching pieces from the lining fabric. To give the bag shape, you need to place thin foam between the lining and the denim, so you should also cut foam pieces. The foam should be sewn together with the denim pieces right away.
The pieces of denim left after cutting can be used as decoration, for example, a cute pocket. On one side sew on the pocket and don't forget to sew in a zipper. Sew all the bag pieces together. Attach the lining.
Topstitch an extra decorative seam along the outer seams and sew on handles made from an old belt. The bag is ready!
I would strongly recommend reinforcing the bag’s bottom and running a hollow cord with wire inside around the perimeter. That way the appearance will be preserved: the bag won’t deform or sag, and it will hold weight more reliably (y)
