Denim Re-Do

Old denim jeans make great sturdy bins and other handy things.  I made this bin from a well-used-up pair of jeans, with the adorable Peaceful Planet line by Studio E - how apropos, right?  Find the tutorial here.  I love using old items for different purposes.  I used two different prints, but should have moved the seam 1/4 way around the bin, so the flat-felled seam from the jean was in the middle of one of the prints instead of at the seam.  Oh well, next time!


Over Thanksgiving, thrift shopping with my talented thrifty Sister-in-law, I found a couple vintage blankets...one chenille and one velour for $2 (love that!!) - maybe a textured baby quilt out of those next??
