upcycle jeans

I'm searching for great ways to re-use the huge pile of denim jeans I have collected over the years (because I knew that some day I would find a really cool use for them). So far, I did find a very cool crocheted rug from the New Old Fashioned Gal and since I have done a little crochet with fabric before, and loved the results, this is my #1 find.

Other favorites are the baby bib and other simple projects found at Planet Forward.

Honestly, most of the projects I've found seem either too hard or a little on the ugly side (really, does someone where that remodeled long jean skirt?).

As soon as I finish my crocheted shopping bag, I'm anxious to begin cutting up my old blue jeans!
