Since I wanted to use the pockets but found the pants to be a bit larger than I like I simply cut out the front on either side of the zipper. pin bottom and side together so that there is a back pocket on each side, stitch bottom and side. make boxed corners if desired. use legs to form strap to desired length. sew to bag. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.... once school is back in session next week I will be doing up a detailed tutorial for this bag using old decommissioned ABU's and BDU's if you would prefer step by step instructions. Have a great day!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082661310058536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218351927533931727.post-62250747056662089682012-08-10T15:52:13.112-04:002012-08-10T15:52:13.112-04:00I have just come across an insane amount of jeans ...I have just come across an insane amount of jeans that were in my garage, I'd love to make some bags with some of them!

I did get to go see my grandparents while I was there though, so that was wonderful. They only lived about 20 minutes from our hotel. :) I hadn't seem them in YEARS!<br />We are having a ladies tea today at our church. I'll try to remember to take pics so I can share them on my blog...I got to decorate a table with all my own stuff..it was fun!

(he's got great taste!)<br /><br />And you should have seen my husband's face when he saw me walk up holding the pants... total mortification! I reassured him that A.) they were NOT his size (too big) and 2) they would make a great bag. He still wasn't too sure about it but once it was sewn up he had to admit he liked it. (and I can carry a TON in the bag!)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082661310058536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218351927533931727.post-18030988874389211142012-04-12T20:40:42.229-04:002012-04-12T20:40:42.229-04:00I hope to God my husband never wants to wear a pai...I hope to God my husband never wants to wear a pair of pants like that!
