A More Sustainable Adventure

#pocketswap2021 | Upcycling An Old Pair Of Jeans into a Pocket

By letter2self on June 19, 2023



Help support the channel: https://ko-fi.com/dolthalion

Reuse and recycle! With the help of an old pair of jeans that couldn’t be worn any more (and an old bum bag/fanny pack that had already been taken to pieces for parts), plus a small amount of material from my cabbage patch, I was able to improvise a pocket for @Costuming_Drama thanks to @aperfecttouch ‘s brilliant #pocketswap2021 ! And in return @EngineeringKnits sent me a beautiful pocket to wear and use!
