Trouser Leg Bag

Happy New Year!

Today we have:
An old project of mine I uncovered when I was cleaning the other day! Yay, for much delayed Spring cleaning!



This bag was made from the leg of some old trousers (the knees had gone on both sides). So, when the trousers were lopped off into shorts, I had the left over leg pieces to play with. Basically I used the already stitched hem as the opening of the bag. The cut / torn knee side I sewed together to make the bottom of the bag. You may want to stitch this twice for extra strength.



Then finally, I attached some cord lying about the place for a satchel style strap. As an extra, I added some buttons and flowers for added pretties!


It's a really handy bag to use when going for a walk, nicely fits house keys and a mobile phone!
