Recycle Jeans – Hanging Storage

Recycle Jeans – Hanging Storage

Want a great way to recycle your old jeans??

This is such simple easy, useful, idea!!

All you need are some old jeans and a sewing machine

The first step was to cut a strip off another pair of old jeans (to make the hanger)

Then straight and zigzag sew the edge

Attach a safety pin onto one side of one end

Now thread it into the tube you sewed, and pulled through so you turn it the right way out

Pin it to the inside back of the jeans

Then sew into place

The next step was to sew the waist band together

Now lay the jeans down flat and mark with pins where you want the bottom of each pocked to be

Then straight sew along the pined lines. Don’t forget to sew the bottom hemline too!!

Using an unpicker, make a small slit where you want the opening of the pocket to be. Make sure you only slit/cut the top layer of denim

Then slip the scissors into slit and cut across for the pocket opening

Repeat the above step for all your pockets

Done
