This quick sewing project makes it a cinch to turn old jeans into a rugged book bag. MATERIALS: Pair of jeans Scissors Sewing machine or needle and thread Cotton belt Time needed: Under 1 Hour 1. Zip the jeans and turn them inside out. With a pair of fabric scissors (a parent's job), cut off both jean legs 3 inches from the crotch. Set aside. Next, fold the cutoff jeans, matching up the side seams as you would to press front and back leg pleats. 2. Using a sewing machine (or a close, even hand stitch), sew closed each leg opening 1 inch from the cut edge. Trim the denim 1/2 inch from the stitching. 3. Turn the jeans right-side out. For a handle, thread a cotton belt through the belt loops and tie the ends together. Enjoy

Thats ok! Do you have a sewing kit? Actually, all you need is some blue string and a sewing needle, and you're ready to go
