More Denim Upcyling!

Kaitlynn got the cutest pair of jeans for her birthday last year. BUT, she's harder on jeans than any other girl I know! You would think that she walks around on her knees all day long to see the hole in them. Usually, I can either turn them into shorts or a skirt, but this pair had a rip that was up too high to do either. So, in an effort to" reduce, reuse, recycle", I decided to turn this pair of well-loved jeans into a purse so she can continue to enjoy them.

Goin' Green!

In the interest of recycling, I've been trying to find new ways to reuse old clothes that me or the kids no longer wear. The easiest thing to reuse, by far, is denim. You can make bibs...



Or skirts...



Or bags...



What do you do with your old jeans?
