Upcycled Jeans Bags

This week's clothes upcycle is a couple of super easy jeans bags.

I've seen these bags all over the place but never made one myself - so thought it was about time to try one out!

I used this lovely tutorial from Sugar Bee Crafts.

The only thing I changed on my second bag - the pink one - was to box out the bottom corners of the bag so it didn't sag open quite so much.

All you need is a pair of jeans shorts (or cut off jeans) and some 

co-ordinating fabric. Making the bag only takes about half an hour!

I made the blue jeans bag first.

Then the pink one.

Pretty cute bags don't you think?

To see what else I've been making with clothes for my challenge this year - go here.
