Upcycling BDUs


This is the story of a very sad pair of pants that no one loved anymore. The pants sat in a pile with other unwanted clothing for a very long time, wishing that it could become useful again, until one day...


I cut the pants apart into useful pieces...


...and sewed them back together. Clever huh? Actually I can't take all the credit. I used a pattern specifically designed for this purpose: Simplicity 2597 Accessories, Bags Go Green Collection

I LOVE this bag! It's the best thing I've seen made from a pair of pants! I've got a couple pairs of BDU's around that I can do this too as well. Thanks for sharing!!! It would be great linked up @ my SpringGreen linky party & blog hop! Following you now too.
All the Best

I really do love this bag (and blog). I think I will be trying the pattern out soon

(haha the other post just left our "the pattern" and used "it" instead; I thought i was unclear) : )

Darn you autocorrect! But srsly, thanks for the comments. I'm going to make more of these bags because I've got lots of old pants!!
