Old Jeans

I have way too many pair of jeans with holes in the knees.


I made these little bags for my boys. They are always collecting rocks and other small knick-knacks outside - and filling their pockets. They picked the ribbon and color of felt for their initials. They've had fun carrying them around, putting toys in them. Once the snow melts they can use them outside for their collecting!


Here is my crayon holder. I used the pant leg of a pair of jeans for my crayon holder area. I also used an old placemat for my bright material. The edges were already finished so nice, I just picked the seam on the side and pushed my jean material in before sewing it all back together. I then used the inseam from the other side of the pant leg as my "tie" to keep the crayon holder all rolled up and closed.

I of course have a levi quilt planned, but anyone else have any clever ideas on how to use all the jeans I have stashed away?!

now that is cute!I also have the jean quilt planned. There are so many cute things you can do with demn. Take a pair of jeans and trun them into a skirk by adding a fun printed fabric for the triangle middle on each side. Looks darling. Jean bags are also great for moms when we go to the beach, or camping. We need ours a tad bit bigger though. making fun shaggy cirtans for the boys rooms is also a fun idea. You could do anything! You are good Em
