recycled jeans Bestie bag

 This bestie bag was made from some old jeans which were worn through at the crutch (where a patch would've looked a bit odd) so they went into the denim box and after a while got cut up into a bag

I used this fun quilting cotton for the lining

And unpicked and resewed the back pockets onto the outsides of the bag.

I made a self strap. It required some hammering and wrangling with pliers to get it through the strap adjuster

Denim Bestie Bag

 Yes, I bought the pattern for the Bestie Bag and sewed it up.

The outer is a blue denim from an old self-sewn skirt. The lining is a craft cotton with an anchor print.

I used a striped webbing that was 1 inch (25mm) wide and a slider of the same size.

The pattern calls for 1.5" webbing, so I needed to increase the seam allowance slightly on the strap tab for it to fit neatly with my 1" webbing.

The instructions for this are good. I referred a little to the written instructions, but mostly followed along with the video, pausing it whilst I completed each step.
