1. Cut the legs off, sew up at the bottom - use the length of one leg to make a strap -instant handbag. (I still have that bag made from a favourite pair of jeans at age 13) 2. Make a soft toy - mine was a mouse shape, with ears cut from a vinyl school pencil case. This mouse had magical properties and is still the only remedy when I have tummy cramps - to sleep on top of it. 3. Cut and open up the legs to make cushions. I have one cushion with the pocket from the backside - holds bookmarks while reading a book. 4. Use the soft thigh section of denim for applique. 5. Use the lower leg section for patches. 6. Use the lower leg section of corduroy jeans as a pre-made wheat bag. Use the tube section and just top and tail sew. (Kids jean size is best)
