to date, I've probably made a 100 or so tote bags from pants, some from skirts. Could be more. I never kept count.
I made a bocce ball bag from a pair of boy's Jeans. The balls fit in the legs and the top part. There is a handle for carrying. I added a zipper to close the top and keep the bocce balls in. Easy to carry to picnics!
