From Old Jeans to a shopping bag!
 

I was messing around and came up with this from old jeans using binding for the finish on the top and some fabric for some piping.. Now I have lots of shopping bags.. and they wash up...

Awesome! What a great idea. With three kids, I have an endless supply of jeans.

Clever, wish i wouldn't have donated all the outgrown jeans to goodwill........love your bags

Excellent! And besides being able to wash them, think how long they will last!!

Those are wonderful. You should do a tute. I would love to make some.

What a great idea...and they will be strong too :)

What a nice idea for "Going to Grandma's and Grandpapa's House" bags...

Your bags are really cute. should do something with the hamper full of jeans, but can't rush into anything. lol

What a great idea. We all seem to have old jeans and what a perfect way to use them.

Super idea! I say you can never have too many of those! I love that you made them out of blue jeans.

Those are awesome. Love the jean bags.

I second that suggestion :) would be great gifts, but 1st one will be mine since I have to practice.

Great way to repurpose sturdy fabric! Thanks for sharing.

Great idea!

A shopper with style! Nice bags and love the contrasting trims in reds and blues.

Great idea! Can't beat jeans, for strength!

love them!!

Such a great idea!!!!

Positioning a pocket near the top of the bag is doubly useful. Nice work. REcycling rocks.

Wonderful idea and you did a fantastic job making them.

Terrific idea for bags! Love the jeans~~

Great idea! I'll bet they're sturdy too.

cute Janell... I'm inspired to make some of these.

Great idea! Great looking bags that will last and last!

What a wonderful idea. I have some jeans I'll never get back into and some that my daughter has worn but cannot be handed down as they are too faded or torn. I may just have to cut them up!

very nice job, and I know they are very heavy duty and won't rip.
they make nice gifts also.

How cool. And to they will wear so well as well as being enjoyable to use.

Mix practicallity and beauty and look what you get! You are very clever! Love the bags!

Great job! They would make great last minute gifts too! I wonder how a little embroidery work would look?

Wow, you've been busy! Does the one on the lower left have a scalloped edge? Great bags.

very nice, great to take shopping

I agree, great recycling idea! Would love to see the tute so I can dwindle my stash of old jeans!

nice job on upcycle-ing...can't beat jeans for durablity.

awesome...and I bet they hold up better/longer than those crappy things the stores are selling these days!

I like this idea so please do a tute for us.
Pat

Pat I am working on a tut... I am better at the sewing machine than the computer... LOL... so it may take me a bit.. I will try and e-mail you when I get it.

Waiting for the tutorial.......

Great idea to upcycle those old jeans to something useful today!!! Love it...gonna go find some jeans and get to work!! Thanks soooo much for sharing your idea.

How sweet and practical. They are really cute, you can use them anyplace not just for grocery shopping.

What a great idea for a tote, I love bags, looking forward to your tutorial.
