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!

THE WORLD'S LONGEST SCARF!

Jumper to waste? 

Cai and Nero have had a good idea to no throw away them!

They suggest to use the sleeves to make a very long but thin scarf.

LET' S MAKE A VERY LONG SCARF!

WHAT YOU NEED: jumper sleeves of several colors, scissors, pins, a taylor's chalk, a sewing machine.

I cut the sleeves. 

I eliminated the fabric excesses because generally the sleeves are larger in the upper part.

I obteined a lot of peices and I decided to cut them in parts of different lenght.

I  sewed them together...

...alternating colors and dimensions. 

DONE!!!

GOOD WARM WINTER!

JEANS PACKAGING!

What do you think about using something of alternative to paper for christmas package?

You could reuse it and don't trow it away.

WHAT YOU NEED: a piece of jeans pants, one needle, a cotton thread a little thicker than usual, pins, one tailor's chalk, a cutter, pantyhoses. 

I started  cutting a piece of jeans pants.

I removed the stitched parts...

...and I clumped the two parts of  jeans leg by pins.

I stitched the two longer sides and only one shorter side by needle and thread.

I bent the shorter side to make the base of the little sack.

I pinned the corners to the long sides.

I marked by tailor's chalk some points to cut...

...and the sack body is made.

Let's make the strips to close the little sack.

I cutted some pantyhose strips...

...and I realized two braids, each long about 80 cm.

I inserted them in the cuts. Each braid into each side of sack.

Fill the sack with the gift..

...and wish HAPPY LONG-LASTING CHRISTMAS!

THE SOCKMAN

Have you got old socks, shirts or leggins? we tought to decorate our Christmas with little snowmen!

WE NEED:

old socks or leggings, old shirts, fabric tapes, styrofoam balls of two different size, toothpicks, one neddle, cotton or polyester thread, buttons, one orange fabric strip.

I inserted a toothpick in the bigger styrofoam ball...

...and in the smaller styrofoam ball too.

I cut the leggings a little bit longer than my snowman structure.

I clumped the leggings fabric by a pin. I worked on the wrong side of fabric...

...and I sewed it.

I made the same on the other side.

I cut two circle shape to make a painter hat.

I sewed them together and I refined the hat.

With a fabric strip I made the scarf cutting the hems in many vertical strips.

I used a piece of orange fabric strip for the nose and the buttons for the eyes and the mouth.

I used a leggins ring as base of the snowman.

I realized two snowmen...

....ENJOY YOUR CHRISTMAS!
