Working with Denim
March 21, 2012 - 11:39am | CristyIn the course of The Garbage Experiment we have had to retire some jeans. I always save a few pairs, or just the legs, to have patching material around. But what to do with 6 pair of jeans? I am sort of afraid of denim as a craft material. We have all seen those sad denim creations that look like the rag bag puked up a hairball. But, there are others that make the most workaday material shine. The jeans are waiting for me and here is some inspiration.
Denim Sunburst by Julie / Belrossa
Some quilts from Gee's Bend
