The following is a tutorial on how to make DIY drawstring pockets from jeans waste. You need to prepare discarded jeans, non-woven fabrics, thin cloth linings, cotton ropes, wooden beads and other materials. Don’t throw away the jeans that you don’t plan to wear again at home. You can try handmade DIY. For specific DIY steps, please refer to the detailed illustrated tutorial below.
Building pocket DIY steps:
1) Take a section of trouser leg (preferably straight pants), about 34×22 cm;
2) Remove the seams on both sides of the pants leg by 5 cm;
3) Fold the disassembled trouser legs inwards and sew them to become the rope holes for the pockets;
4) Use the buckle tool to nail out the pattern shape you like;
5) Glue rhinestones on the center of the buckle;
6) Turn over to the back, glue the thin cloth lining on, and sew the bottom of the bag at the same time;
7) Prepare a piece of 32×22 lining fabric and sew both sides, leaving the bag mouth unsewed;
8) Fold the lining fabric outward by 1 cm, align it with the outer fabric of the bag and sew the bag mouth (hidden stitching);
9) Thread the cotton rope through the rope hole at the mouth of the bag, and insert wooden beads at both ends of the cotton rope;
10) Knot the end of the cotton rope;
11) Tighten the cotton rope to make the knotted part retract into the wooden beads;
12) Picture of the finished denim drawstring pocket.
