Blue Jean Book Bag Part 2
Step #1
Take a pair of jeans and zip up the front of them and turn them inside out. With a tape measure, measure about 3 inches down from the crotch and make a mark. Using a ruler draw a line across the leg at that mark. Do the same for the other leg. Now cut the legs off at the line.
Step #2
Now fold the jeans matching the side seams. This would be just as if you were going to iron a pleat in them down the front and back. Sew each leg closed 1 inch from the cut edge. Trim the seam to about a ½ inch.
Step #3
Turn the jeans right side out now and you have a little bag! Now you can thread a scarf or cotton belt through the loops and tie or sew the “handles” together.
You can also decorate the outside pockets with lace or a hanky in the pocket. Do any decorating or creating to your bag to make it truly yours!
Next week I will post the directions for making your handle.
