R.I.P My Favourite Jeans

It was inevitable.  My most favourite jeans ever have finally given up the ghost.  The denim had worn so thin it had become impossible to continue to sew the holes that kept appearing.

*sigh*

There was no way they were to be consigned to the bin, that would have been far too environmentally unsound and those jeans and me have been through far too much together to part company forever. No. The only option was to find a new purpose for them.  Thank goodness for Very Purple Person and her Reversible Bag pattern...

My favourite jeans ever and I are now enjoying a whole new lease of life together!

The contrast fabric is a wonderfully sturdy organic and fairtrade cotton from this fabulous UK company.  I added my little wooden tags too...

My new bag is my new favourite and, rather like my old most favourite jeans (ever), we are having lots of adventures together :)
