    I'm making a denim circle quilt, so I can't really leave the pockets on, but they're too small to make circles out of. I'm going to end up with about 14 pockets and I don't know what to do with them. Anybody have any ideas? Most of them are about the same size.

    Why not make a denim pocket quilt? Seems to me it could make a great play quilt for a child, especially with lots of little toys stuffed in the pockets.

    If your machine can sew them, you could fasten them to a bit of hanging fabric and use them for putting sewing supplies in. Or let it be used by a teen or younger for a lot of those small Very Important Treasures that they love so much.

    Add them to a denim apron for a little one who "helps" you with cooking.

    I put the pocket on a back of fabric and hung it to the back of the door of my sewing room and I keep my small rulers and needle and thread, it works very well for those small thing that you have nowhere to put them.

    I have made denim bags and used the pockets as pockets. Very cute.

    I have seen the pockets used as purses for little girls with jumbo rick rack for the shoulder strap. They can be embellished and look very cute.
