What can you do with old jeans?

Can you sew and do you have access to a sewing machine?

Lots of stuff! What strikes your fancy? Pillows, apron, handbag . . .

Quilts, sew new jean jackets, purses, shoes or slippers, coats let your imagination run! Good luck!

Make a patched purse. Long shoulder strap. Two pockets on the front kitty corner from each other. I get loads of complements on mine. Great for wearing with blue jeans!

You can make all kinds of things! Here's how I made a small stuff sack:

Here are some really great ideas from Pinterest:

You can cut the back pockets off them to sew onto place mats. Makes a cute utensil holder, especially for very casual, outdoor meals. Bandana print hankerchiefs rolled up folded, placed in the pocket works great too! :)

Hi Deanna: What I do with mine is to make dog coats. They are really easy to make, and I line them with fleece. You can also cut the legs into strips and braid 3 together to make a dog toy and, of course, like the others say, make a purse. I have one and love it! You can also make a dog collar, or even a dog neck kerchief.

Make Bag, Belt, Cushion etc.

Hi Deanna, hope this inspires you.
