One of the projects Roxanne and I finished recently were some backpacks we were putting together for some of the little boys running around in the family. When we made clothes for them last summer, we used the legs of some of Carl's discarded pants to cut some shorts out of. The nice worn soft denim of the lower legs seemed like it should be good for some shorts and it was. The pants were cargo pants, and they had big pockets on the legs that had flap closures.
We looked at them once, and we looked at them twice, and we cut them out of the pants thinking, man, we ought to be able to make backpacks for the kids out of those! They got set aside for a while, but finally, we got some strapping to sew on. I edged around the pockets with the serger to kind of finish the cut edges. Roxanne sewed on the straps, and they were done!
Her grandson LOVED his, and was thrilled at the prospect of sharing the others with his cousins.
