It seems that already the seams began to tear, and the size is small, but the hand does not rise to part with them. The fabric is still good .... If you have some free time and a desire to create, then you can sew a bag out of them. We will tell you how to sew a bag of old jeans, decorate it and cause a keen sense of envy among neighbors and friends! Actually it is much simpler than it seems. And you just need some old jeans and a little patience.
How to sew a bag of old jeans
We take out our jeans and inspect them. If your height is below average, and you need a roomy bag, then you should donate some more or ask friends and acquaintances. When the source material is enough, then you can start! To answer the question of how to sew a bag of old jeans, you need to decide at the beginning what bag you still want? This can be a light summer handbag or a bag for going to the market or transporting in the trunk of a car, for example, coal for barbecue. And the car does not get dirty, and charcoal grill is convenient to store. Also, the number of jeans that we need will depend on the chosen model.
How to do it
How to sew a bag of old jeans? To do this, it is necessary to expand the old denim pants. If you plan to make a regular summer bag for the usual little things, then choose those jeans that have the best preserved upper part.
If there is embroidery on the back pockets, a beautiful belt, or the front pockets are interestingly crafted - all the better! In no case should you remove such jewelry. Pay attention to the seams between the legs on the inner surface of the thigh. If there are no scuffs and the fabric is not deformed - great. This is what you need. Now unzip the inner seam (the one between the legs) to the zipper. External seams are left as is. Thus, we have obtained a panel that diverges in different directions along the middle seam, and the side seams remain unchanged. Now carefully lay out the front and back panels, align and stitch. It is necessary to get a denim skirt. Now we determine the necessary height of the future bag and cut off the unnecessary part. From the residues we cut out the bottom of the required width and sew it into the bag. Then we only have to make a pen. You can sew on a ready-made pen, which can be purchased at a sewing accessories store, or you can cut it yourself. We cut out a strip of fabric from jeans with a width of 10 - 12 cm, glue it with a 5-centimeter corsage tape, and sew it. We got a long belt. It remains to stitch it to the product. Then sew the lining and that's it. A bag of jeans with your own hands is ready!
Jewelry
If jeans were decorated with embroidery or rhinestones, then additional decoration is not required. If the model was classic, then you can put a beautiful scarf or belt into the belt loops for the belt. You can also embroider pockets or the front of the bag with beads, beads, or stick an applique using a heat gun.
Bag options
A bag of old jeans with your own hands is a real space for imagination! If the jeans have already lost their shape and it is impossible to create a bag from them, this means that you just need to cut strips two to three centimeters thick and, after making a braid, sew it onto the base of the bag. It will turn out a very original thing, which will delight you with strength and beauty for many more years!
