Jeans in our time are a familiar part of clothes for everyone. Children and adults, boys and girls, bank employees, students, artists and professors, thin and full, old or young people on the planet have at least one pair of these pants in their wardrobe. Jeans - a kind of indicator of mood and even the nature of the person who possesses it. To sew a backpack with your own hands, patterns can be prepared independently.
It is not clear why, but very often worn jeans become a source of various design novelties and ideas. The pattern of a backpack made from old jeans trousers can be one, but the backpacks decorated in different ways will always be favorably different from their store and bazaar counterparts.
Denim (denim) has a special secret to weaving threads. It is thanks to this feature that its strength and durability are achieved. According to the initial technology, twill diagonal weaving of cotton fibers (left down and right up) is used to create jeans fabrics. The warp threads are stained with indigo blue, the weft threads are not stained. Thanks to these features, only the outer part of the fabric is dyed. That is why the visual effect of scuffing even new material is created.
What can be done with old jeans
Of course, you can simply throw away the old pants, worn out to holes - and that's the end. However, the thrift of our and foreign population comes up with various unexpected solutions for reusing your favorite things.

How to make a pattern for a backpack
The pattern of a backpack, bag or thread case is always quite simple. It is necessary to use the cut of the jeans themselves - and everything will work out. It is not at all necessary to dissolve and unstitch seams on worn pants. You just need to separate the bottom of the legs from the top.
Usually for bags and backpacks use the top of jeans with pockets. Having inserted a belt or a silk scarf into the loops, making the bottom seams, we get the simplest option: a bag-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 needs to be done “on the go”, that is, thinking quickly and efficiently, using everything that is at hand.
So, we put the cut off legs into one another. It turns out a double bag. It is very successful if they took flare jeans. Then the top should be made wider than the bottom. Sew one side, narrower - this is the bottom. The second, broader, must be processed to secure the straps and fasteners. Showing imagination, you can strengthen the straps of the backpack in different ways. However, you need to firmly sew both in the center of the upper part of the backpack and on different sides - in the lower, for the bottom seam.
More complex work option
If you want to tinker a bit longer and sew a more complex backpack from 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. Would need:
- non-woven;
- plastic bottom;
- synthetic winterizer;
- lining fabric;
- threads, scissors, needles, laces;
- old jeans of two colors.
It is necessary to cut the following details on the pattern of the backpack from the primary color jeans:
- Oval bottom measuring 13 cm by 22 cm.
- Two rectangles measuring 25 cm by 32 cm.
- A square pocket of second pants measuring 15 cm by 15 cm.
- Webbing, two pieces, measuring 10 cm by 60 cm.
- Flap on the pocket, cut for the handle.
All details must be processed with an overlock. You can use the line “zigzag” for this. If you leave the edges of the fabric unprocessed, you get a no less stylish finish that looks like a fringe, which is also interesting. Sometimes the edges of the fabric are specially cut into small strips in order to achieve this effect.
Getting started assembly
To sew a backpack with your own hands, a pattern of parts is made, everything is prepared. First, both straps and the part for the handle are sewn from the inside. The edges of the pocket and the valve are trimmed with a contrasting color band. Then you need to sew a pocket to one of the rectangles with a double line to hold it tight. The bottom is glued with non-woven using an iron. Details of the body of the backpack (rectangular) are stitched together and with the bottom. The straps are flashed from the inside, turned and ironed. Straps and a handle are sewn - the product is ready. There is little left to refine and decorate.
In order to make a denim backpack, a pattern is not always needed. Sometimes you can show ingenuity and ingenuity. If, when used for the manufacture of various products from old jeans, material of several colors is used, completely unusual and new little things are obtained.
