Great idea-my mother made my Christmas stocking out of a worn out pair many years ago. See if she can put the pockets on each side, it would be nice for storage.

Looks pretty sweet! I might have to retire an old pair for my truck sometime.
If you're getting her a sewing machine specifically for sewing through Carhartt duck canvas - she's probably going to need an HD/industrial sewing machine. Regular sewing machine won't last long with material that thick.
