I started with some old jeans of mine that were worn through in a spot or two, and decided to make a something for Little Clam. I added some fabric from my stash (I DID let him choose, but what amazed me was that he chose the exact piece of fabric that I would have used had I NOT given him the choice first!) I traced out my pattern from this book, and started tracing it onto the fabric... still haven't finished it. Maybe tomorrow.
Linking up to more creativity.
Great use of denim when everything is still in great condition other than the high wear & tear parts - i'm forever patching jeans' knees, even on 10 year olds, how they penetrate the knee area still is beyond me, always on the Country Road & Fred Bare jeans too, argh!! Love Posie
ReplyDeleteI borrowed that book off a friend a little while ago... what are you making?
ReplyDeleteOh good on you for actually making something new out of your old jeans; I have SUCH a pile of old clothes that I am forever intending to make into something new... but do I ever...?
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of old jeans I am saving to make a skirt for my youngest - when I get around to it! I do love to mix denim with fabric - can't wait to see what yours looks like:) Cyndy
ReplyDeleteOh, what you making? :)

ReplyDeleteCant wait to see. Heavens knows I have plenty of old jeans laying around!
