Recycled Overalls Bag
Child's overalls
Sewing Machine
Scissors
For this project you will need a pair of old children's overalls from a thrift store. The larger the overalls the bigger you bag will be.
If your overalls has any pockets on the front it will make a great little mobile pocket on the outside of your bag.
Start by cutting the leg's off, making sure to cut above the crotch or you will end up with a tuft.
Turn the bag inside out and using an overlocker or a sewing machine sew across the bottom to close it up. Make sure you do 2 zig zag stitches on a sewing machine to strengthen it.
Trim off any threads and turn the right way out.

This so cute, would make nice gifts, I could go to my favorite thrift store and find lots of old childrens overalls.
very cool
I've been waiting for my grandson to grow out of his so that I can make a few.
the instructions weren't very clear so it wasn't very easy to follow. However the conSept was very good.
nice but i don't know anyone w/ child overalls, so i might i have to go buy some =(
luv it !!!
That is a really good idea! It is so cute! I might just make one myself! Thanx!
i love how easy it is to make them!!!!:)
Looks really nice.
Don't they look great? And who on earth calls them overall? I call em overalls! Great recycling project.
Thanks for the spelling correction with over 2000 projects it's hard to get them right everytime.
Could it be that you mean crotch? (crutch is that Orthopedic aid...) also the correct term is overall - help the subject-verb agreement.
I wouldn't point all this out if I had been impressed with the project. (Some cute addition rather than just a seam.
this idea is adorable!! :)
i wish i had some overalls to try it :(
Every piece made is special and unique!
very cute!!!!!! luv it
super cute!
This is adorable and it looks easy! Can't wait to try this out for school.
i tryed this with a old mans pair of overalls and made a diaper bag it was awesome...i got so many looks and awwws
this is really good for my project at school

this is a very good idea i love making purses so i will try this and let ya know how it turns out!
i made some with my mom's old maternity overalls. i love how the handles face the other way so it has a custom fit and how you can partially remove the straps.

I really like this idea!!!
very cute and easy to make. I used my daughter's favorite overalls. Now she can still enjoy them.

i love it!!! extra fendy and when you add neon paint it makes a great combination. thanks a bunch 4 the idea! keep em comin'!!
how about trying them on denim jeans (not the overall, the pants)? any ideas?
the parts below the crotch could be sewn into straps..
sweet
SOUNDS LIKE FUN TO MAKE AND PRACTICAL AND USEFUL
Love this quick and easy project.I didn't even have to buy the overalls as I had several on hand from my grandkids:)
An overall skirt or dress could also be used. It doesn't have to be pants overalls. This is a cute project. Thanks for the inspiration
This was SO easy and Cute as a buton! What a GREAT gift to give a child care provider who LOVES kids!!
That is a cute and very unique purse. I plan to make me one.
I love this idea. I am going to make one for myself and my daughter to use as a library bag and beach bag. Thanks!
Absolutely wonderful!I just couldn't get rid of my boys things & now that they're grown, I can carry something of theirs with me all the time! I watch the CLEARANCE racks & buy the overalls dirt cheap (mismatched outfits are the best)...make them & gift e
very nice
I inserted a oval piece of cardboard to allow the purse to stand when placed on any hard surface.
LOVE IT! I had FLASHES of Overall outfits I saved of My little girls'.. NOW I know something I can do with a few! THANKS!
Too Cute.
i'll definately try this
I love it when i get home i am so going to try it!
This looks so cute! I never would have thought of this! The only thig:It looks like it might be weird to carry...maybe its just how she is holding it in the picture...
What a great way to use my son's old overalls. Can't wait to try it.
this craft is awesome.i always wanted a bag like that but my mom wouldnt allow me to buy them.this is just fab!!!
This was great!!! I've made 3 so far and am scouring the thrift stores for more overalls. I've sold them for 8.00 each
i truly like this project, it's easy and it was a good idea
This workered great with my stained maternity overalls. Everyone loved it!
Thank you for the idea of using the outgrown overalls.
I like this type of bag as it can be made out of denim jeans and cords in many collours as wll and looks good for shopping or the beach.
