So these were probably my absolute favourite jeans, but then they got too many holes, rendering them unwearable. So I turned them into a bag! :) I love bags, and I especially love MAKING bags, so this was the perfect project for me. I haven't finished it yet, I need to go and find a zipper long enough so I can close it, but until then, I'm considering it done :) The strap is made out of two strips of denim from the legs. It took me about an hour to do, but that's because I'm still learning, so I made a few mistakes...
