My husband has been carrying a jean bag carry on I made him 2 years ago He is always being stopped by men and women alike at the airports asking him where he got the bag. He always tells them his wife made it for him. I have made several quilts from jeans and have never had a bit of trouble sewing them. I made one out of just 5" squares and ragged the seams and didn't back it at all it is very warm and also a great trunk and picnic quilt. Wears like Iron but washes so well. Then for the girly bags I line them and use the same material as shoulder straps and use a cordnating fabric as a fabric belt through the loops. The girls always love them also. Oh I've also made backpacks out of them the kids seem to like them for car bags so they can carry their games and such on trips.
