I love those shower curtains that have the storage pockets built right into them. Storage shower curtains are a great way to organize a small bathroom. If you love a shabby chic, retro, or vintage denim look though, you can make your own custom storage shower curtain using pockets from faded and worn out vintage denim.

I absolutely love this blue jean shower curtain because I often end up with jeans that no longer fit, go out of style, or just do not get worn. Vintage denim of any kind is great for tons of craft project, including this easy shower curtain!

To Make a Blue Jean Shower Curtain With Storage Pockets You Will Need:

The first thing your need to so to get started making your vintage blue jean shower curtain is to remove the back pockets from some old blue jeans. You may want to wash them first if you bought them second hand for this craft project.

Now, lay your shower curtain out flat on the ground.

Take all of your vintage blue jean pockets and start laying them out on the shower curtain to decide where you want your pockets. You can make symmetrical designs, lines, random patterns, or even spell out a letter. You decide.

Now, use some straight pins to pin each vintage blue jean pocket in place. Only pin the sides and the bottoms of the pockets.

Now, use your sewing machine to sew all three sides of the blue jean pockets down, leaving the top open. Repeat this on each storage pocket on the shower curtain.

Cut off any loose threads and you are finished.

You can use buttons, snap, and Velcro if you want to create storage pockets on your shower curtain that close.

If you only have one pair of jeans or wan tot make larger pockets you can make pockets out of the legs or buy some denim by the yard at your local fabric store.

Simply cut out squares of denim as large as you would like.

Fold one side over about ½ an inch and hem it down with your dewing machine. This will be the top of the pocket.
