Old jeans new

Totally re-made from a pair of old jeans, an old shirt and re-used zips.

The left leg became this laptop carrier. So pleased with the handles and fits the laptop snugly. The only new part of this bag is the padding and the thread, naturally.

And this is what became of the right leg. A nice little laptop sleeve lined with an re-purposed sheet. New coordinating zip in this one though. The problem with re-using old zips is that the zips do end up being warped. I need to experiment with some starch to get those zips to lay flat – I don’t want to throw them out and metal zips seem to looks so nice in denim and other bags.
