by: Rea Maureen Name Christmas is coming! do you now have a bag that goes with the season and goes with your outfit as well? If you don't have yet you may try this do-it-yourself bag from your old jeans, yes you've heard it right, from your old jeans. It is really hard to let go of the things that became a part of your life but in this simple how-to project I will teach you to how to recycle that favorite jeans of yours 10 years ago. If you have an old jeans that does not fit to you now, out-of-fashion jeans or when you get a hole in your favourite pair of jeans, instead of throwing them or giving them away make it useful by changing it into a bag. Keep your sentimental old bluejeans, give them new life, and help the environment at the same time. Here's how Materials that you will need: 1 pair of worn out jeans some cute linen for lining matching thread needle pins scissors imagination Step one: Lay your jeans into a table or into a flat surface. Level the top edges of the waistband and pin them together. Cut the jeans close to the crotch, do not throw the legs away as you will need these for straps. Then separate the front and back sides at the crotch area. Step two: Sew the front legs ( as to cover the used to be crotch area ) so it will make your short jeans look like a skirt. Step three: Turn the jeans inside out, pin the top edges of the waistband on the wrong side and sew the bottom part. Cut out the remaining fabric after sewing. Your jeans will now look like this Step 4: Turn your jeans bag inside out again. Lay the jeans on the folded linen and cut it along the line of the jeans: 1 inch exceeding the waistline. Sew the linen on the wrong side. Before sewing you can add some inner pockets if you wish, if not – no biggie as there are plenty of outside pockets. In this, I added a pocket for cellphone inside. *The internal pocket goes on the back lining piece. Attach by top-topstitching the pockets to the various pieces before sewing the bag together. Add as many pockets of varying sizes as you desire – they can have zips, buttons or just be open as these ones are. Customise the bag to your requirements. Step 5: We will l now make the straps :) Get the leg part of the jeans that you reserved a while ago. Cut two strips out of the jeans legs and two out of the linen (same size) . I wanted really long straps so I created one strap from one strip and a half. I have worked out for me it is comfortable to have a bag strap that is 120cm long. You may wish to check this prior to fixing the strap in place – otherwise you could make it an adjustable strap. Cut strips of fabric 8cm wide out of the jeans leftovers. Join the pieces together lengthwise end to end first, then fold in half turning raw edges in 3-5mm, and topstitch edge. Step 6: Place one end of the handle tube on one side of the former waist of the jeans and sew it at the bottom of the waist line. Then sew it where it meets at the top of the waist line. Repeat for other side. Turn jean bag right side out. Make sure it is strong so you can put heavy stuffs in your bag. Sew a strap of linen, make it as a belt and fasten it to the jeans and voila ! You now have a funky bag. You can customize your bag by adding pins or stitching letters in your bag. If you would like to add accents to it you can add different sizes and colors of buttons to the outside or decorative material or patches. You can use yarn or whatever you fancy. You can also use the remaining jean material from the legs to make fringe or inside pockets. Got nothing to give to your friends this coming Christmas? Well, this pretty bag can be your gift. Less expense right? You just have to collect your old jeans and sew. And who knows? This can be a good source of income. TIP: If you do not really want to use your old jeans or you are planning to make more with different sizes and colors you can buy from thrift stores. You can also make a cosmetic bag or a laptop bag out of your jeans ! Just widen your imagination and learn to experiment. source and credits
Hi Knitters, The Kolache Festival was everything I had hoped it would be. We had a beautiful sunny day in Oklahoma, not too windy, which is something rare this time of year. It was a bit hot but we were in a lovely shaded area for a good part of the day. Yes, the kolaches were fresh and yummy and sweet and yeasty. Did I tell you my son-in-law's father was in charge of the judging committee to determine the ribbon winners for best home-made beer, home-made wine, kielbasa, yeast breads, and kolaches? Tough job. Here are the entries waiting to be sampled. My hubby was invited to help taste which he was happy to do. The judges discuss their plan of attack. Yes, the judges did work their way down the entire line-up over the course of the morning, but as several had a long drive home, did not swallow many. I am happy to say that, although I am completely incapable of judging a good wine or beer from a not-as-good one, I was happy to sample both the first-place winning kolaches and I even got to bring home what was left of the first-place winning yeast bread. We have had the yummiest toast the last two mornings. Pays to know people in high places. My favorite part of the day was watching the young girls (and a few boys as well) in their traditional Czech dress. The colors, the lovely lace, the embroidered ribbon and sashes, the beautiful bows and flowered hair wreaths captivated me and I spent most of my time in the pavilion watching all the participants chattering away happily as they waited to do the traditional dance in the street just before the parade. The backs of their dresses were just as beautiful as the fronts: The children were precious. As soon as I asked to take their picture, they would place their hands in the traditional before the dance stance and smile for the camera. They seemed to be really enjoying themselves. The moms were all nearby checking their bows, hair and make-up before they went out to dance. The embroidery on the dress on the left was extraordinary. Many of their dresses are hand-sewn by mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc. Love the little blonde on the right with her missing teeth: These two pretty young girls are last year's Kolache Queen and Jr. Kolache Queen. Each of the past Queens wore their sashes and I think the earliest one I saw was from 1992. Time to dance: I really loved the embroidered fabric used for this dress: It was very hot by this time and I am sure their layered dresses were not to comfy at this point but they all looked wonderful and kept up the pace through several traditional dances: This little one was so charming, so tiny, but knew all the steps as well as any of the dancers. I am sure there is a sash in her future. Most of the dresses were in the red/black fabrics with colored embroidery, so this color combination really stood out. I think it's beautiful. There was an import pavilion with beautiful glassware and jewelry, and some of the Czech ribbons and fabrics -- really high quality. And, of course, I loved the quilt samplers: This was one of my favorites: All-in-all a wonderful day. I can see why so many people make it a tradition to attend every year. And I did get a little knitting done on the way to Prague. One more sleeve to go on my sweater. Happy Knitting, Josey
