I make purses out of jeans that my sons have outgrown before they stained or ruined them. This is one of the first ones I made! It was meant to be completely reversible as the liner is also make from a pair of jeans, but I never figured out a reversible closure. For now, it snaps shut.

Agreed. Thank you!
I made some small purses out of back jeans pockets I put a strap on them and used the original metal fastener. noce ad lightweight and inconspicuous.

This is one I made as you described, I use it inside a larger purse to separate chapstick, lotion, clippers, tweezers, etc. so I am not always digging for such items among the bigger stuff.
ery nice. Do you remember when we made skirts out of jeans we outgroew?

I have never done this but it seems brilliant for girls who get taller while remaining slim.
My grandma made me in the 70's a bookbag out of some jeans I ripped (ripped clothes were not acceptable). Great job and keep it up!

That sounds awesome!
@JBeberstein It was indeed, I threw all the books and notebooks in the bag and head on the door. Somehow the bag went well with my big afro.
Very cool! Great job!
