Went to the charity shop this morning and bought some rather large (UK size 20) black jeans. Hopefully the black will help the colours sing and not sure why I went large. Didn't mean to - went into the shop with every intension of a 10 / 12 size pair but came out with these large. Going with the flow and large it is. Think I will probably add a base too so that the bag will stand once full. Could be a 'take-this-one-with-swimming-towels-and-costumes-in' kind of a bag, or a 'mum-will-carry-the-picnic-and-blanket' bag. :)
Feeling very happy about the whole thing. Lovely to be making something to keep for a change. LOL
Anyway here are the 'before' photos.

Now ALL I need to do it some sewing :) May start by using some of Nancy's wool to crochet a belt to go through the belt loops (unsurprisingly).

Gosh you have a straight bottom! Mine is allover the place :-)
Might be straight but perhaps a little short? The thing I didn't like about DD's bag was that it looked like there was still a bum in it!
Ummmm - That was one of the things about it I liked - that it looked like it still had a bum in it *grin*
LOL - this has become a world wide epidemic... The 'disease' has reached the English shoreline... Could this be a new 'red hat' society? I did look at the op shop today too... hehehehe... Good luck ladies with your endeavours....Put the 'B' back into jeans - that is B for Bag...
