Jeans in our time - it's all the usual part of clothing. Children and adults, boys and girls, bank employees, students, artists and professors, thin and fat, old or young inhabitants of the planet have at least one pair of these pants in their wardrobe. Jeans is a kind of indicator of the mood and even the character of the person who has it. To sew a backpack with your own hands, you can prepare patterns yourself.
It is not clear why, but very often worn jeans become a source of various design novelties and ideas. There may be only one pattern for a backpack made from old denim trousers, but backpacks decorated in different ways will always compare favorably with their store and market counterparts.
Denim (denim) has a special secret of weaving threads. It is thanks to this feature that its strength and durability are achieved. According to the original technology, a twill diagonal weave of cotton fibers is used to create denim fabrics (left down and right up). The warp threads are dyed with indigo blue, the weft threads are not dyed. Thanks to thesefeatures, only the outer part of the fabric is dyed. That is why the visual effect of wear even on new material is created.
What can you do with old jeans
Of course, you can just throw away the old, worn out pants - and that's it. However, the frugality of our and foreign population comes up with various unexpected solutions for reusing favorite things.
- You can rip jeans and sheathe a small country sofa with the resulting fabric. A backpack pattern for this use of an old pair of jeans is not at all useful. Other methods must be used.
- By cutting the fabric from the pants into strips and interlacing them, you can get a beautiful rug under your feet.
- And unusual youth accessories? One can make a great variety of spring bracelets alone - baubles made of double seams, trimmed with buttons, chains, pebbles and beads.
- Kitchen rugs and potholders, patchwork blankets, flower pots and soft storage containers.
- Separately, let's talk about denim shoes. Not ready-made sneakers or ballet flats, but invented independently and sewn by the “crazy” hands of craftswomen. Slippers and slippers, boots and socks - there is no limit to the fantasies of needlewomen.
More ideas

How to make a pattern for a backpack
The pattern of a backpack, bag or suitcase for thread is always quite simple. You need to use the cut of the jeans themselves - and everything will work out. It is not at all necessary to unravel and rip the seams on worn out pants. You just need to separate the bottom of the legs from the top.
Usually for bags and backpacks use the top of the jeans with pockets. Inserting a belt or a silk scarf into the loops, making the bottom seams, we get the simplest option: a sack bag.
Another backpack option
In order to sew a backpack with your own hands, patterns are completely unnecessary. There are no standards for such design decisions, everything must be done "on the go", that is, thinking quickly and productively, using everything that is at hand.
So, we put the cut off legs one into the other. It turns out a double bag. Very lucky if you takeflared jeans. Then the top should be made wider than the bottom. We sew one side, narrower, - this is the bottom. The second, wider one, needs to be processed to secure the straps and fasteners. Showing imagination, you can strengthen the straps of the backpack in different ways. However, both must be firmly sewn in the center of the upper part of the backpack and on opposite sides - in the bottom, behind the seam of the bottom.
A more difficult work option
If you want to tinker longer and sew a more complex backpack out of old jeans, a backpack pattern can come in handy from the usual small hunting attribute. In addition, you need to stock up on some additional materials. Required:
- non-woven;
- plastic bottom;
- synthetic winterizer;
- lining fabric;
- threads, scissors, needles, laces;
- old jeans in two colors.
You need to cut out the following details according to the pattern of the backpack from jeans of the main color:
- Oval bottom measuring 13 cm x 22 cm.
- Two rectangles measuring 25 cm by 32 cm.
- Square pocket of second pants 15 cm by 15 cm.
- Straps, two pieces, size 10 cm by 60 cm.
- Flap for pocket, cut for pen.
All parts must be overlocked. You can also use a zigzag stitch for this. If you leave the edges of the fabric raw, you get an equally stylish fringe-like finish, which is also interesting. Sometimes the edges of the fabric are specially cut into small strips to achieve this effect.
Start assembly
To sew a backpack with your own hands, the pattern of details is made, everything is prepared. First, both straps and a part for the handle are sewn from the inside. The edges of the pocket and the flap are trimmed with a contrasting color trim. Then the pocket needs to be sewn to one of the rectangles with a double stitch to hold it tight. The bottom is glued with interlining using an iron. The details of the body of the backpack (rectangular) are sewn together and with the bottom. The straps are stitched from the inside out, turned inside out and ironed. The straps and the handle are sewn - the product is ready. Little remains to be finalized and decorated with trim.
In order to make a denim backpack, a pattern is not always needed. Sometimes you can show ingenuity and ingenuity. If, when used to make various products from old jeans, you use material of several colors, you get completely unusual and new gizmos.
