I was more than ready to use one of my drapery weight fabric to make this Rod Cover for my Dad…. until he suggested to use an old pair of jeans. He is always upcycling things… and he likes to make things.
So, I made him this! Tada!
Very simple… just put the rod of the leg of the jeans, and cut. Don’t even need to measure… just pins to keep them jeans steady.
Then sew on the zip. I use a very long 32″ zip, so it goes all the way from top to bottom.
As you can see, no lining necessary. It’s for rough use… going fishing is a rough hobby 
It’s done!
I know, it looks kinda weird and all hehe… but that’s how he wanted it. It is his design. I just improvised and made it a zipper bag rather than a drawstring.
