Another pair of kids jeans has now been turned into zipper bags ... all of these will be going to Blue Hills :) They also count as a 6 pack for Patty's
Bag It 2017 :) I used labels, tags, waistband elastic and pockets from this pair, along with bits and pieces that didn't get used up with previous pairs - I keep everything in a shoe box so I don't misplace or mix anything up :D
 |
| Zippy embellished with ribbon, a 3D button, a crab charm (LOL) and several jeans tags :D |
 |
| I embellished this one with blue ribbon, a pocket (you can see on the front and back where the pocket had been paintstakingly removed for reuse :D), a mermaid charm and a size tag. This zipper pouch is a size 14 - HA! |
 |
| I've been working with fabrics that had been gifted to me by my friends Mickie and Carol during a visit to Pennsylvania this summer. The teacup applique was a scrap in a collection of floral/teacup prints. I embellished it with an Old Navy jeans tag, a pocket, and a bird zipper pull :D |
 |
| More fabric from Mickie & Carol! I embellished this pouch with a sweet purple floral strip, some buttons, an acrylic bead zipper pull and a little cotton tag :) |
 |
| The roses and teacup charm appliqued on this pouch was from Mickie and Carol :) I also added a mouse zipper pull and several tags - the Smile one is a direct order for the recipient to smile about the tag above it :D |
 |
| Bicycle pouch! I quilted this one with variegated fabric, added a Smile tag and a bicycle zipper pull :) |
I still have 13 pairs of jeans to work through - they're currently stuffed in a plastic shopping bin that's under the table I'm typing at - I'm kicking it with my slippered foot right now because it's in my way :D
Current count of completions from the jeans: 8 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 45 :)

Bag It 2017 count = 33!
You are getting great use out of these jeans and the donated fabric Sandra. I am impressed at your patience with all the pocket unpicking too :)
ReplyDeleteYour bags are all awesome, especially the scrappy ones! I know, I’ve been having a blast making them up. Heading to Boston today, so soon I’ll be able to give them all away! What fun! Enjoy your day! XO
ReplyDeleteI hope you win all the prizes!
ReplyDeleteWell done.
I'm liking all the tags sewn on and the pockets,too. So much work here! Wait. Should have typed in sew much work here!
ReplyDeleteSo, so cool with all the tags and embellishments. I'm not a teacup person, but I LOVE the two pouches with teacups on them.
