Can’t bear to throw out those jeans, but know that realistically you’ll never squeeze.
Give new life to your old jeans by making a shopping bag with them. Add some patchwork fabric to your design to create an additional dimension. Have fun recycling!

I've been meaning to make nice shopping bags for about two years, and I finally sat down yesterday afternoon and did it. I wanted something beautiful to carry all the groceries and these are way better than the crumpled paper sacks I've been using.
I made each bag with less than 1/3 of a yard of fabric. I used some upholstery scraps that I had in my cabinet, so I didn't have to buy anything!
Remember you can make this for a quilt block,pillow, quilt or whatever you want just trim the scraps to be the size that you want it to be! It doesn't have to be a Mug Rug.
Some of us wear our favourite pair of jeans until they literally fall off our bodies. Once you have cut your jeans into shorts, what can you do with the left-over legs? This unisex bucket hat is an eco-chic way to salvage denim scraps which would otherwise end up in landfill.
