Can’t bear to throw out those jeans, but know that realistically you’ll never squeeze into them again? Why not re-invent the jeans and make a great shopping bag instead…

Our free bag pattern takes a pair of old jeans and transforms them into a handy shopping bag. A decorative ruffle trim in Free Spirit or Rowan fabric adds a feminine touch.  The original jeans pockets create handy holders for any essentials you want to keep at hand, and your choice of fabric will make this bag uniquely yours.

Add a final fashionable flourish by threading a vintage scarf, funky fabric or even some Milward ribbon through the belt loops at the top of the bag - style on a shoestring!
