DIY Recycle Old Jeans to Denim Bag 4 Styles !!

Recycle your old jeans into a denim bag ! Industrial looking on one side and kinda sweet on the other, you can carry it as a clutch, tote, over the shoulders and even as a backpack !!

For this bag, you will need 5 pairs of jeans to make the pocket and the tote bag handle ; fabric to sew the denim pieces on, craft felt works great here ; fabric for the inside of the bag ( I use faux suede ) ; magnetic button.

Tips :
1.When sewing the large waistband pocket, position the belt loops away from the sides. This is a rather thick bag to sew and I broke many sewing needles on my machine.
2. If the fabric is really too thick , even after trimming off corners and seam allowances, pound it with a hammer to flatten it. It works.
