I cut a couple pair of Amanda's jeans into shorts and I told her to save those legs.. well today I got thinking of what I could make out of them....

here is a few pictures of the pouch I made.

Of course I had to have Gadget check it out

hey that's a great idea. i am trying to figure out a pouch i could use for the hot summer days, i have a fleexe one, and now i need a strong material that is lightweight. i think jean could be used, (i have a few stretch jeans i need to say bye to)

anyone can think of another material let me know but i just may use this idea.... um, now how do i make it

Thank you everyone.

Luv, I just took 2 jean legs cut them open sewed them together using the hem as the top of the bag, leaving the outside seem for decoration and then I took 2 more legs open them up cut them into 6 inch strips sewed the strips together and then sewed them long ways to make the strap. then I tied a knot in the handle. Actually I had made the strap to short and had to lengthen it so I ended up needing to tie it in the middle to make it look good.. and I thought of the pocket after I had the bag done... If you decorate or put pockets oon it you might want to do it before you sew the bag up...

I put the pocket up too high... It would work better for treats if it was a little deeper and lower... but hey the next one will be lots better...

I have some more jeans to cut off... hehehhehe

Now that is a really cool idea. I have several cut off legs from my grand daughters' jeans. I saved them - too good to throw away, but couldn't think of a good use for them. Thanks for the idea.
