How to Make Lunch Bag from Recycled Clothing

Things You Will Need
  • Cord for Drawstrings
  • Embroidery Thread
  • Needle
  • Old Denim Jeans
  • Scissors
  • Thread to Sew
Method
  • Firstly cut one of the legs of the jeans, about one foot from the bottom of the leg.
  • Turn it inside out in such a way that the wrong side of fabric faces out and right side faces inwards.
  • Cut out a circle from the rest of the jeans that is about ½ inch larger in diameter than the leg's circumference to the bottom side.
  • Sew the edges of the circle with wrong side facing out to the bottom edge of the cutout jeans leg.
  • Fold the upper edge from the top of the leg by half an inch and sew it so that it forms a casing.
  • Thread the cord through it and tie the knots at both the ends of the cord so that the ends do not slide inside the casing. Turn the bag inside out.
  • Use any embroidery pattern to decorate the lunch sack and it is ready to use.
