It’s another beautiful Friday. Kids and hubby went where they belong to and I am enjoying this calm morning.

Today I would like to share my upcycled jean bag idea. I made 4 crossbody bags for my 3 girls and myself. Other bags I made them before were forgotten but

this jean bag has been loved still. (the amount of time and effort really doesn’t matter for the receivers. They only care “the look.” *wink*)

Step3.Cut  about 1 inch sew line from jean waist and attached the leather strip with D shape ring for the shoulder string later on. Then sew the same line.

Step4. Fold right side together and sew. The size is depends on your jean size.

I reused the shoulder string from my girl’s old Hello kitty purse.

This is why I can’t get rid of any old jeans.

Happy sewing!
