A tote bag made only with reused materials

For those who think that doing creative sewing is expensive, here is an example of how you can get original pieces without spending money, just reuse what you already have. This bag was made with reused materials.

2 in 1 Sling bag

Another 2 in 1 project, a sling backpack with the option to use it either left or right and that can also be used as a traditional backpack, just by changing the position of the strap.

From overalls to bags #3 (C21)

This is the third and last bag in the set inspired by dungarees, in this one I was also inspired by the pockets of jeans.

It was made by reusing jeans and has four pockets o the outside, two of them where made with the back of the overalls and are ideal for keeping your mobile phone, the other four pockets are from jeans. It also has two jeans pockets inside and is padded and quite light.

 

From overalls to bags #2 (C18)

This is the second bag in the set inspired by dungarees, in this one I was also inspired by the pockets of jeans.  

This bag was made by reusing jeans and has two pockets, the small pocket was made with the front of the overalls and is ideal for keeping keys and a large pocket inspired by the pockets of jeans.

An old T-shirt turned bag

I've been wanting to try to transform a t-shirt into a bag for some time, and I finally did it, my idea was to make a unisex and reversible bag, I started with a tshirt that had a print on the front and for the other side I used some jeans.

Denim bag with flowers

It shows that I like to make bags, here is another one.

It's a  shoulder bag made with denim from old jeans and cotton fabric and it's padded and lined with cotton fabric.

One side has three flowers sewn to it and the other has two pockets, one with a snap button.

The bag closes with a magnetic button and has a double pocket inside.

Orange Stripes bag

Another bag with reused materials, this time the fabric that was left over from a curtain and jeans from a pair of pants, also the zippers were reused from a bag that was ruined.

A basic bag with yellow flowers

  On those days when you just have to go out to do an errand and you don't feel like taking a bag but you can't carry everything in your hand either because between your cell phone, keys and wallet there are more things than hands, I made a basic bag to take the essentials, and maybe allows you to carry something back from your errands. And because being basic doesn't mean boring, I applied some denim flowers to it.
