<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but every time I clean out the car, I am collecting Apple cores, granola bar wrappers, candy wrappers, dirty tissues and other small things. Things that are just too small to need a plastic shopping bag for (and who wants to use those anyway?) But too easy to forget in a door pocket or cup holder. So I wanted something smaller and convenient that wouldn’t get lost and would easily hold the daily garbage we gathered, not a whole road trip worth. Something we always have a plethora of in our house is old ripped jeans.<\/p>\n

You know what works? A pant leg with the cuff as the top, with a circle stitched to the open end, and a button and loop to close it over the headrest, and there we go. Simple. Now I have to make another for his car, so here are pictures and directions in progress.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jeans our son grew out of. Too holey to give away. Green thing on the right is a latch hook kit started in 86 and finished last year. Will become a pillow for the bus. That is a forthcoming project. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyway, to the bag making!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These are longer than the pair I used for the first one, so I am cutting below the knee. I am cutting the bottom out of the space below the knee. I am not cutting a circle, I will just trim it down after it is sewn.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(My go to pins are simple Dritz quilting pins. I use them for everything except fine fabrics. They work really well for all my sewing.)

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cutting the strap. About 8 1\/2 by 1 1\/2 inches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Best tool ever for turning strips right side out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ends are turned in and sewn. Now to pick out a button. I can’t find mine, so I am using my mom’s collection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And a test buttonhole. Because if I don’t, I will mess up. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And, attaching the strap, the bobbin thread runs out. As always.<\/p>\n

I love how any machine with a big zag will see on a button. Saves time!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And it’s ready to go in the car!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At another point, I may wax them to make them water resistant. You’ll never be able to dump a coffee in it, but something damp won’t damage it when waxed. Right now they aren’t, but they can be thrown in the washer when the get dirty.<\/p>\n

What do you think? I love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
