    You have NO IDEA how helpful this is! I lost 100 lbs, so have a plethora of jeans in various sizes. The owner of the local consignment shop also gave me a HUGE bag of jeans scraps. I have enough to fill a 25 gallon tote. I was on the verge of just donating them to charity, but was afraid they'd just throw them away; a massive waste. The environment, & I , thank you!

But it turned out to be almost a full bag, its actually really cute but I didn't finish it because I thought the trend wouldn't come back but here we are lol.
