DECORATING DENIM JEANS!


TIRED OF YOUR ORDINARY DENIM JEANS??
obviously it's no time to throw it away yet!

I'll show you an idea to make your plain denim jeans fancier and more useful!


WHAT YOU NEED:
a denin jeans, another fabric you like, colored buttons, needles, thread and a sewing machine.

 

LET'S START!

  
I replaced the waistband, the belt loops and the top button.
I added other buttons to decorate the waistbelt also allowing to adjust a bit to the size.



I replaced one back pocket...


...and I dislocated it a little bit. I just removed  the other back pocket.


I ripped  the denim on one knee and sewed a patch on the inside.


I added two peices of fabric as legs cuffs...


...and decorated the hems with colored buttons and a buttonhole.


I like to make cuffs...it helps fitting the lenght of a jeans to different shoes.

denim placemats!




It's time to sit at table and enjoy your meal...
...breakfast, lunch, dinner...or easly a snack!
Maybe you'll need a placemat.
Why don't recycle an old denim jeans?!



WHAT YOU NEED:  one denim jeans, another fabric piece you like, cotton thread.
 


I unstitched the back pockets.



I cut both pants legs.


I cut out the ruined parts...


..and I opened the legs to make two placemats.


I cut two pieces of chequered fabric some bigger centimetres than denim pieces.





I sewed the pocket on denim and I used a chequered fabric for the back of the placemat.



I make two little napkins by the chequered fabric...



...AND VOILA'! ENJOY YOUR MEAL!
