Today I am sharing recycle from denim clothing.
There are so many projects that can be made with old blue jeans. I have made quite a few quilts with them, and also deep shopping bags with them too.
Sharing some links with more great ideas from old denim clothing
7 Projects here A few photos from this link
Love this quilt
Denim bags-if you Google search or check on Pinterest there are lots and lots of free patterns available for old jeans to make into all sorts of bags.
here is a link to a bag I made was happy to see it still here-I made my bag with the seams in front of the bag-clipped them to make raggy. I made this over 10 years ago and still use it for shopping.
If you read my blog years and years ago you may remember this one. This is a great pattern
Gardening is just around the corner-here is a DIY garden apron and tool caddy-love this
What have you upcycled with denim jeans??
I love the denim on the notebook! What a great idea!!!!!!! Kisses, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt a lot. These are sure some clever ideas! hUGS-eRIKA
ReplyDeleteThe link to your bag didn't work, but I also loved the denim on the notebook. I have a friend who made an over-the-door hanger using old denim jean pockets. It was clever, but didn't hold much. Halle made me a bag (PINK, even) using jeans Mini-me had as a very small child.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these.
I just tried the link and it did work for me-hope you try it again
DeleteThe link worked for me.
Deletethanks for letting us know CJ
DeleteSome clever ideas there. I have a tote and a handbag made from my old jeans. Always good to re-use things. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteKathy i have been saving our old jean pockets for years and years and years to make a quilt just like that!! Maybe one of these days i'll get around to it.. Great idea having the flowers come out of the pockets.. :) Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI love those flowers in the pockets too-great idea
DeleteAll great idea. I like the denim pocket on the notebook cover. That could be glued on for those of us who can't sew. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteyes I think glueing on is perfect for this notebook
DeleteThis post reminds when of a button bag I made in my early blogging day. I still carry it today, never made it with denim but it could be. I might try that!
ReplyDeleteOohh all the projects are wonderful Kathy !! Thanks so much for sharing, I specially like the quilt and your bag, it´s very beautiful and useful too.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very nice weekend,
Big hugs, Caty
Some great ideas reminds me of the things we did in the late '60's and 70's It''s a beautiful day in this part of MO.. heading out to pick up fallen limbs from the winter. There are more than normal. It's to wet from all of the recent rains to do muck else..squishy when you walk in most places
ReplyDeleteI remember purses and bags made from worn-out denim :) I never wear them out any more lol and so never have jeans I can't still wear. These are such cute ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these ideas.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
