Recycled Jeans
Have you thought about recycling things in your quilting.
Bonnie Hunter does a lot with cotton shirts, and The QuiltShow.com with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims posted that they love to
recycle. This inspired me to post about
my use of recycled materials. I love
jeans and have used them for a few projects. I have four boxes of jeans and
pieces of cut of jeans all from my two boys, my husband and myself.
The first denim project I made was a quilt.
The second was a denim purse made from a pair of my youngest son's jeans. I took a machine embroidery class and this was what I used to play on the machine with. Someday I will have one of those in my machine collection.
The third was my denim jacket lined with fleece. It is nice and warm and heavy.
I also made myself a skirt and still have several ideas floating around in my head on what else I can do with all the jeans I have collected. We shall see what I come up with next.
I have boxes of old jeans from my boys growing up and intend to do something with them. Wanda...I like all your projects...good inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGo Caryl! Can;t wait to see what you are inspired to make with yours.
DeleteGreat recycling of all that denim.
ReplyDeleteI want to get a picture of me in the jacket to add to this post as a friend of mine said it looks much cuter on. So will see about doing that tomorrow when we head out to sew as I am thinking that is the jacket I will wear.
