This is a binder bag that I made for my mom for Christmas this year. She is a couponer and likes to carry her binder to the store with her. The old bag that she was using was taken out of her cart one day so I had to make her something new and fabulous.
This is the top part of a pair of old jeans. I cut off the legs sewed across the bottom to make a flat edge, added some fabric to line it and some inside pockets. Mom loved how well her binder fit in the bag and there were places for her phone, pens, and wallet.
The lining is corduroy and I used part of the leg to make the pockets. I left the pockets with the raw edges that I cut with the pinking shears. If it unravels it will stop at the sewn line and give a really cool look inside.
