I tried to make a dent in a large bin of old jeans. So I sewed a number of bags. Took a leaf out of Toogie's book and put on some labels, as an afterthought. Next time I'll do them as appliqués before I sew the lot together.
My help saw them today and was happy to take the one on picture1 home.
Pict 3 and 4 are front and back of a huge one.
And there's hardly a dent in the bin :)

54619They all look so good Martine! The first two are the style of bags I prefer but the patchwork is nice too. ***** 5 star job! I can't blame the help, I'd have to leave with one too!😉😂

41781You did a great job with the denim bags. They
will be gone before you know it. I can sympathize when you
about making a dent in your denim stash :(

23581Very nice. I have a bin of old jeans too and should do something with it. Hugs. Nan
1192711566Well done they look awesome. If one was thin enough, you could just not sew the bottom of the bag together and voila you can wear it as a tank top! Love Chris

The blocks are 4.5" square, which makes a roomy bag - and quite heavy by the time it is filled with shopping :)
5431These are fabulous, Martine! If you need more old jeans just ask and I'll send you some :-)

Thank you for the offer. I have a lot, but there is not much colour variation, my children all went for the same sort of (jeans)blue :(
