Quilters, gather your used denim jeans. Used denim jeans can be used for quilting lap tops, bed spreads, wall hangings, floor covers, pillow covers, and wearable fashions. Quilt wearable fashion and quilts from used jeans. Quilted fashion made from used jeans is very smart and unique. Recycle used jeans adding new products for your home and a unique new fashion wardrobe for self and others.
Recycle used jeans into fashionable vests, jackets, and skirts. Choose from your collection of black jeans, white jeans, blue jeans, and denim overalls.
To gain experience before attempting to make a unique wearable fashion for self or others, make a quilt first. Start with a lap quilt. Denim is heavy. As you experience cutting and stitching denim and feeling the heaviness of this cloth, you will then have a better understanding of how to use denim for fashion wear.
You will also have knowledge as to when to use light, medium, and heavy weight denim fabric. Denim does not have to be lined or backed, however, depending on the use of the quilt or the wearable fashion cotton and flannel are excellent choices for backing.
Quilting patterns may include:
* Four square block
* Nine square block
* Disappearing nine patch
* rag
* Log cabin Bricks
Quilt uses:
* Lap quilt
* Bed spread
* Sleeping bag
* Pet bedding
* Floor carpeting
* Car seat cover
There are wearable jeans which are lined with flannel. It is not necessary to add backing to these pre-lined fabrics. Decorate and finish your seams with decorator trimming or leave as stitched.
As you stitch your squares allow one-half inch seams because the denim creation when washed and placed in the dryer will create a fluffy decoration or frayed threads at the seam line. A word of warning; do not use your home washer or dryer.
It is recommended that you wash and dry your denim creations in a commercial machine as these commercial appliances have better lint catchers than home appliances. If you should use your home washer or dryer, the threads will overwhelm and clog the lint catcher. The damage can be severe and will require either a repairman or purchasing new appliances.
Oops! I dare not forget. Do not use stretch denim. It has too much stretch.
As you create your new fashion wardrobe quilted from used jeans you will want to make use of other cotton fabrics from used shirts, skirts, dresses, bed sheets and pillow cases to either alternate denim patches or to stitch the used non-denim fabric for backing.
Alternating the used cotton fabrics with the used denim will help to lighten the final weight of the garment or quilt. Decorate your new creations with trims or appliques. Borders for quilts are optional. Have fun.
