The weather’s getting warmer and the kids’ pants are getting holes in the knees. It’s the right time of year to start making cut-off jeans!
But what do you do with the leftover fabric from the bottom of each pant leg?
No worries, friends. I’ve got you covered with 13 projects you can make with the leftover denim, no pant tops required!
I turned the bottom of my cut-offs into a toddler sized skirt.

Go visit some of these links and give the awesome creators some love. So many great projects!
I love the skirt you made and the bibs! I always make capris or shorts out of my old jeans for the summer. These would be perfect projects for me to make for my 14 month granddaughter. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, good! I'm so glad you liked them, and so glad to hear I'm not the only one cutting up jeans for the summer. 🙂
I really like the bibs and the bags. I just cut off some jeans that were too short and they have really nice embroidery down the leg. Those bags would be great for that!
Thank you so much for those brilliant ideas. I’ll try some for sure and make these old jeans have a new ‘life’.
