Recycled a pair of my old pants into a simple shoulder handbag.

Hello! It was my first attempt at recycling a pair of my old pants into a handbag. I was randomly browsing through the internet to find any ideas on recycling old clothes and found this one to be pretty simple and interesting. I added a few more pouches on the inside, and had also sewn two pairs of snap buttons to secure the opening of my bag (I was run out of zip; or else, I'd prefer to sew a zip there). And then, I took a ribbon from my old worn-out bag and put it around my "new" bag as "belt" there. I honestly love how this handbag turned out to be; it got that simple and modest look that I adore. Hooray! ♡
