Making a bag out of old jeans

Surely you have jeans that you no longer wear and that are hanging around the closet since you don’t know what to do with them. Well, believe it or not, with this garment you can make an original and practical bag that will be the envy of your friends.
Bags made from used jeans have been in fashion for quite some time and as each pants is different, your bag will be too. I’m going to give you a series of tricks for you to personalize and make it different and it is neither more nor less than sewing colored trimmings, gluing buttons of different sizes and colors, putting adhesive applications or your name in cross stitch , etc.
I have made this one to give it to my wife who loves handbags and I’m sure I’m right. It occurred to me to put an old yellow scarf that my wife is very fond of and since she does not want to get rid of it, I thought about reusing it by passing it through the belt loops so that she could close it. And the truth is that it has given it a nice touch of color.
As you can see in the demonstration video, with three seams you can enjoy an original and inexpensive la mar bag . Let’s go for it !!!

In this video tutorial I show you step by step how easy it is to make your denim bag

Step 02 Take the measurement from the center of the pants so that the width of your bag is the same

Step 03 With the measurement you have taken, you make a mark on the sides with the soap

Step 04 Cut along the marks and then sew it

Step 05 Now to remove the handles, cut the legs at the seams

Step 06 Next, you have to fold the seam of the legs about 1.5 cm and fasten them with pins

Step 07 Next, cut this seam leaving an allowance of about 2 cm to make a hem

Step 08 When you have done this step, remove the pins and use this piece as a pattern for the other handle

Step 09 Next, you are folding and sewing the entire seam on itself and you will have the two handles made

Step 10 Take the cut of the pants and make a seam where you have cut previously to close the bag

Step 11 Take the measurements where you are going to put the handles

Step 12: Finally, sew the handles on these marks and you will have your super cool recycled bag
