I've been commissioned to make a quilt out of blue jeans. Bonnie gave me a box of jeans and we discussed design and size and now I'm going for it. She will get a backing and I will do some kind of quilting on it to hold it together.
Cutting took a little time. I wanted to get the pockets on right and different brands of jeans have different cuts. Here they are laid out in strips.
I like the pocket with the little leather name patch.
I am trying to keep these hammer hangers also.
They are now all sewn into strips. The side seams will be interesting. At least my daughters have a more industrial machine if I need to use it to go through all the thicknesses.
Cute, love how you saved the pockets.
ReplyDeleteI made a denim rag quilt once using flannel for my son. At the time I had an old crummy Singer machine. I called that quilt the "cussing quilt" due to all the expletives deleted while putting it together. It came out great and I had a lot of compliments on it, but I wish I'd used a better machine.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say using flannel for the backing.
ReplyDeleteNow that would be an interesting challenge!
