I removed the GO'keefe bag from dye storage duty for some daily use. Gave it a good wash and dry and spent a morning giving it some personality. It bothered me that it was so plainly repurposed jeans, no matter how well done.
I like that it's big enough to haul my Chromebook, Tarot cards, paperbacks, notebook, and a change of clothes.
The front pockets are deep and cushy for my phone on one side and keys on the other, just as if I were wearing them. All the pockets work even the tiny watch pocket.
One thing is needed. A couple of good-sized magnetic closures for the top. Crap tends to spill out when I toss it in a chair instead of finding a way to hang it up.

Nice! Love the hoops with beads. And the embroidery of course. Magnetic clasp might be problematic with old pants button hole though
I love denim … just wish it wasn’t such a bitch to stitch
Those little doodads are stitch counters for knitting that I've had for 20 years. Never learned to knit, so they get work here. I bought magnetics and some sew in Velcro so I can decide which works the way I need. Placement likely inside the base of each strap.
I found the trick- if you must hand stitch - is a very sharp, new needle, Thread Magic, and carefully avoiding seams. I made hundreds of these with my Kenmore.
