First Project in 2015: Car trash bin

It's been months I didn't make any craft projects due to my tight schedule and finally today I managed to make one.

This craft isn't my original idea. I was inspired by so many posts in Pinterest and when I saw those posts I said to myself "Hey, that's what I need for my car". If you want to make this too, you can just easily google the tutorial or you can click here if you are too lazy to type.

The instruction is really easy to follow. It took me 1.5 hours to finish it. Instead of using Peltex (Pellon) to create a holder for the plastic bag, I use plastic container. To be honest, actually I don't know what peltex is or where I can find it in my area. I think plastic container is perfect for this trash bin. Both are washable if they get dirty and I guess it's my way to recycle plastic trash at home. Being able to make use of plastic trash somehow gives you some sort of satisfaction, right?

Basically, I just followed all the instruction but I reversed the steps. The first thing I did was cutting the plastic container in half and adjusting the fabric accordingly. 

Finally, this is how it looks like in my car. Now I can have cleaner car. No more trashes, kids! 

Look, how cute it is! :D



Happy sewing!

Repurpose old jeans pants

Few days ago, I decluttered my closet and found this old jeans pants that I used to wear 16 years ago sitting in my closet. And of course, it's not a surprise anymore that this pants still fits on me because I have never gained any weight except after giving birth to my three children.

Since it's still wearable, it'd be such a waste if I throw it away and I also wanted to wear it again but not with that cut. So, my options were cutting it short or making it slim. However, I was not confidence enough to turn a boot cut leg pants into a skinny jeans so I went with  my other option, which was turning it into a pair of shorts . That would be so much easier and I kinda have a shortage of short pants as well. I can save cash to buy something else and the shorts would fit perfectly on me. For this shorts, I made it into rolled style.

And I didn't stop there. I still had the leftover and have seen so many tutorials on how to make bag out of old jeans. And once again, I couldn't help myself for not trying that too. 

It's a reversible jeans bag, by the way.

And now I want to make more.

Happy sewing!!
