How FUN are these ?
Fabric Bins
Made from worn out denim jeans...
The label off the inside of the waist band
embellishes the front of the fabric bin...
These are super FUN to stitch together...
Metal buttons off the button up fly...
One pair of old jeans
turns into 6 or 8 fabric bins:
You leave the pant leg seams intact,
start at the bottom of the pants
and cut off 9 inches for a bin.
I enjoyed pairing up pretty lining fabrics...
Also enjoyable cutting off buttons and tags
to embellish each bin...
All the bins are lined with fabric...
The bins get larger as you cut
higher up on the pant legs...
They pile up.....fast !
Get out your old jeans
and stitch up some FUN !
p.s. I have been getting requests for a pattern to make these fabric bins. I don't have one, just came off the top of my head.
I searched on YouTube and there is a tutorial similar to the way I made mine. I cut fusible batting the same size as the lining fabric and fused it to the lining to make a sturdy bin. I cut squares out of the corners, the tutorial uses the triangle method to create a flat bottom.

LuAnn these are too cute and I have a pile of jeans. Did you square off the bottoms of the jeans and the facings so they would stand up?
ReplyDeleteYes, I cut the bottom corners and square off the bottom of the bins.

ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have a pattern or tutorial, just did them off the top of my head. I will look around on YouTube and see if anyone else has something similar.
