Make your own very simple but stylish and comfortable everyday bag.
The instructions and printable pattern are very simple and you can make this slouchy soft bag with almost any other fabric, but denim is always on trend! And using old jeans helps Mother Nature in a very big way!

The coolest thing about this bag is that it can be made using only one pair of jeans!

The easy pattern provided here can be used to make this spacious shoulder bag in different fabrics and styles, but I really would like to show you how it’s made with denim.

The fun of this project is to keep that cool denim look: stonewashed effect, rips, seams and hems. Some jeans are so great-looking (but don’t fit for instance), then it’s really fun to turn them into a bag, something that you can still use and enjoy!

The tutorial is full of photos and detailed step by step instructions. Suitable for beginners and has some tips for experienced sewers. A good sewing project for denim lovers and eco thinkers.

Size of the finished bag when flat:
Width 17” (43cm)
Height 18” (46cm)
The bag has a lining and a magnet clasp (optional). No zipper.

You will need one pair of jeans minimum Medium in Ladies or minimum Small in Men. The bigger the better 🙂
0,5 mtrs off a roll of fabric for lining. Or two fat quarters.
