Repurposed Denim Drawstring Bag
"Save your pre-loved denim jeans and use one of the legs to make a sturdy drawstring bag. Embellish your new bag with fussy cut hexagons and your jeans have been repurposed into a unique gift bag - a gift that keeps on giving. This comprehensive tutorial, complete with lots of photos, takes you through each step of the process - basting and appliquéing the hexies and sewing up the jean leg into a strong and useful drawstring bag."
