Repurposed Denim Treat Bags

"These cute applique heart treat bags are great for Birthdays, Valentine's and Mother's day. The bags are like a little gift in themselves. They are simply made from repurposing the back pockets of old jeans. A cute heart is reversed appliqued onto the pocket. And hand-stitched in place with a decorative blanket stitch. A strap is then sewn into the pockets. This can be made from the denim seams or with scraps of leather. The pockets can then be hung and filled with treats."
