I was going around emptying wastebasket when I discovered that my husband had actually parted with a pair of his jeans... they usually hang around until I make them disappear. I totally agreed that they were beyond wearing but I had a second life in mind and created a bum bag. Lots of built in pockets and one less thing in the landfill! Who could ask for more!
