BP From Jeans to Bag
Turn any pair of jeans into a casual useful bag with 3 pockets. One pocket on the outside, one on the inside and one secure zippered pocket.
To participate in this class: You must bring a pair of old jeans (or second hand jeans), remove pockets and brands with your favorite tool, the seam ripper. This is preparation for the class.
Create this wonderfully memorable bag with lining and a strong large magnetic closure. Colorful 36" straps can match the lining or be scrappy and can be adjusted to your liking.
