Recycled Denim Tote Bags

I have been making these denim tote bags for many years.   They are really great as beach bags and shopping totes.

Using an overall bib as the front pocket and the straps to hold it closed.

This particular one is lined with purchased fabric for a customer who is a horse lover.

These are denim tote bags that I make from old jeans and overalls. I line the insides with recycled fabrics if I can find them. Usually sheets and pillowcases, that have been cleaned really well. I sell them at shows and markets around my cottage. The stand is an old drying rack for hockey gear, I purchased at a garage sale for one dollar

Take care,
