Recycle your old jeans into a denim quilt that will keep you snuggly warm and fashionably cool all winter long.

Denim Pocket Purse

The back pockets are often the prettiest part of a pair of jeans, sporting intricate embroidery and sometimes even delicate sequins and beads. Use them to create a denim pocket purse; and you can continue to enjoy them, long after holey knees put your jeans out of commission.
