Hi,
I didn't take before pics cuz I didn't think my creation would come to fruition. However, I'm quite happy with my little jeans skirt. I used a pair of my granddaughter's too small jeans. The skirt is made from the legs, which had vertical top stitching, like really big pintucks. I cut the legs apart and made the stitching horizontal for my skirt. Let me know what you think.. It has a zipper on the left, in this pic, the tie has it covered. I added a t-shirt waistband with a drawstring made from the hem from another t..
Here's a close up of the tie and zip..
Thanks for looking

I might be buying the Larissa pattern, and I figured I'd try out the pattern on some old denim first!  Is everyone sick of this forum, or should we bring it back?

So this is the jeans stash I had to work with. I just noticed that only one pair was complete and the rest have already been hacked at 



And heres one of the things I made from it



I just tore some jeans into 1 inch or so strips, and weaved them together. My 'method' was just to staple all the longways strips right next to each other on a piece of wood and weaved the short pieces through it. then I pinned the outside and ran a zig zag around the whole thing and badda-bing! You have yourself a nifty floor mat.

I've also made a few other things, but I haven't taken any photos. My jean stash is finally at a managable level! I'll try to take some photos of the other things I've made and post soon.

What timing! I only stumbled across this thread today, and yesterday I started a jeans recon. I'll be sure to put pics up when I'm done! It's great seeing what others have done with their jeans. I love the woven floor mat LadyJ. I didn't even think of making something non-clothing.

I'm glad I found this because I have a ton of jeans that I'm always looking to get rid of.
