*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 :)
It looks fantastic! I love the lining fabric, and that wooden tag is the perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that this doesn't end! ;o)

Beautiful! This is the second gorgeous bag on my blogs catchup I've seen tonight. Im tempted to work on a bag for myself now.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bag. You're so clever. Wish I could do that. X
ReplyDeleteWow, love the idea,denim, organic fabric and wooden tag. they are good combination for this bag.
ReplyDeleteOh just beautiful, I love the fabric you've chosen to contrast with the denim
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up a pair of jeans. I've been trying to figure out how to do this pattern, but so far, I've had no luck. Did you to a tutorial (or would you) on the steps you took to make yours? How did you lay out your jeans to gut them for the two pieces....
ReplyDeleteThis bag looks freakin awsome!!
