Made from old jeans and designed with function in mind, they roll up neatly and hold forks, knives, napkins—or even straws and chopsticks. Best part? They’re washable, durable, and look so cute.
🧵 What You’ll Need:
- Large denim scrap (approx. 12″ x 16″)
- Coordinating fabric for lining (optional)
- Sewing machine or fabric glue
- Scissors, pins or clips
- Ribbon, twine, or strip of denim for the tie
- Optional: snaps or Velcro for closure
✂️ Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Cut Your Base
- Cut a rectangular piece of denim for your roll.
- If using lining fabric, cut a matching piece and sew or glue them wrong sides together for a finished look.
2. Fold & Stitch Pockets
- Fold the bottom third of your rectangle up to create a pocket.
- Sew vertical lines up the fold to create individual slots for utensils—space them 1–2″ apart depending on what you’ll store.
3. Add the Tie
- Sew or glue a strip of ribbon, twine, or denim to one side of the roll (halfway up the height) so you can wrap it around and tie it closed.
4. Finishing Touches
- Trim edges with pinking shears or stitch around all four sides for durability.
- Add embellishments like a denim pocket, patch, or name tag if you like.
