A Bit Quirky!!!



Blue Jean Book Bag
I got this idea from Crystal Miller at the Family Homestead.

This is so easy, it's a bit quirky. *Ü* I like things that are a bit out of the ordinary.
You can get the step by step instructions over at The Family Homestead.

  • You need to turn the pants inside out and then cut the legs off just 3 inches below the crotch.
  • Then you sew the leg openings up.
  • Than I added some beaded fringe to the pockets and then sewed a cute little heart on the back pocket.
  • Oh yea and the strap or belt, I made a long belt and I added some padding to it to make it more comfy to carry. Threaded it through the belt loops and then sewed it together.

    Wa-laaa!!! It's fun and Quirky.

  1. That's a really cute book bag! My girls would love it. Hey, how come I can't read the title of that book in the bag? Must be a foreign language, huh? LOL!

  5. Kelli,
    I like the IKEA magazine too although it's in German. We go to Austria from time to time to visit with my dear friend IKEA. *Ü*

    I saw these at the store the other day. I thought they looked easy to make. They had a scarf where the belt would normally be.
