I have a secret hankering for a bag made of cut-off jeans. But that’s probably just because I can never bear to throw out a favourite pair, no matter how threadbare they get… Thanks for a terrific list!

Great tips! You can also make skirts from jeans by splitting the inside seam and adding in a piece of fabric.

Those are some really cool ideas. I’m thinking about making a lunch sack and a quilt. I have a lot of old jeans I can no longer fit into after (finally!) growing a few inches this past year or two.
