Nice bag, and I bet it's strong enough for ya! Did you line it?
I re-used a pair a few weeks ago, but as jeans again. Might do a bag when the next pair wears out, thanks to you

I used to cut the legs off old jeans, sew the cut end closed, and carry my tools to the Habitat site. Got teased about my 'designer' tool bags.

Don't you just love all the uses for old jeans...I have made three quilts and three throws for my daughter's family. They never wear out and are so warm.

Great idea Ken. I was at a thrift store last week and they had jeans for $.99 a pair on a rack with a sign "work pants". The jeans were all BIG sizes which equals a lot of fabric. I was tempted to purchase a few at that price but exercised restraint.

Our son had an extensive collection of marbles. I made him a bag out of a jeans pant leg and he still had it many years later, complete with marbles.
