Past July I came across a pair of white jeans I never use. What could I do with them? I can not wear them anymore, but it is a shame to throw jeans like that away.
I also bought a few sprays, that you can use for colouring cloth. So, I started spraying on our balcony...
It became obvious pretty soon, that trousers like this, are just too hippy for someone of my age to wear (even in Käpylä, which is the hippiest neighbourhood in Helsinki).
Weeks passed... and while we were in Italy, on holidays, my daughter Sofia suddenly expressed that she needed a bigger bag for her ballet gear ... while we were in a Gucci store!!!. Looking around at these extravagant prices of bags ... I had a Heureka moment: I will make a bag for my daughter from the jeans I had sprayed.
So, finally today, after a few hours of cutting and sewing ... I finished a perfect training bag for my daughter. She's happy and my jeans have a new life :)
