    Self-made denim accessories

    I made a pair of shorts from my Maharishi's. Now I've got some spare selvedge denim fabric. I would like to use it somehow. I thought of sewing a selvedge pocket to a blank t-shirt or making a case for my cell phone. I've also seen selvedge bracelets made by some companies. Any ideas of accessories I can make by myself?

    you can make passport cover. I've made one myself and it already shows some fades.
    If you decide to make one, make sure you use washed/soaked denim, as in raw state it can bleed too much on passport.

    I'm thinking about something that I'll use more often than a passport, but that's also a cool idea. Maybe you could post some pics of your passport cover?

    Sounds interesting. Can you post some photos of the phone pocket?

    how about selvedge denim pocket squares or ties?
    anyone have ideas on that?
    is it hard to cut denim without it fraying?
