I made this and love it ! I have all my families clothing in there (besides there Jeans), and you can keep on adding
to it if you so desire . I use mine for the car ,and I always have it handy if we want to stop for a picnic .
Really easy to do .

I made an apron for Halloween out of a jean pant leg turned upside down.

Thanks everyone. I love all your ideas, especially the snake print purse and the cathedral window quilt. Also like the denim block from Pinterest. May have to give that a try for pot holders. Will post some photos as I get some projects done. Again, thanks a lot.

I have never done it, but it is on my to do list. I seen a tutorial on jeans cut into circles, a square of material put into the center of the circle, 1/8 of an inch from outside of circle. Line up the sides of each square, and sew together on the outer edge of square. I seen it done from wrong side of the jeans material. But I guess it is up to the quilter.

I found the tutorial. Hope this will work for you. Have fun and please post a pic.

I took several back pockets from jeans and made a wall hanging with the pockets sewed onto a backing fabric to store things. Worked well. Do not have a picture of it. Take care.

I haven't done this myself, but my DSIL cut up old jeans into squares, even using jean pockets as some squares, then backed with flannel and tied. I can tell you they are nice and warm, personal experience. When my brother died, my DSIL helped that DSIL to cut up my brother's jeans, coveralls, etc. and make them into quilts for each of their 4 children, as a memory quilt. gh
